Fantasmes et exotisation : comment l'art orientaliste a représenté les femmes colonisées

Harems, odalisques, baths, and veils: what if Orientalist art primarily depicted the West's fantasies about the Orient? #arthistory #culture #orientalism The Orient of Orientalist painters is a construct shaped by the desires, fears, and power relations of the colonial West. In this video, I examine the representation of women in Orientalist art: how did Western artists transform these figures into objects of exotic desire? What do these works reveal about the dynamics of domination between colonizers and colonized? 👉 This video follows my introduction to Orientalism:    • L'art au service de la colonisation ?   🔔 Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss the next videos of the season on Orientalism.
