About this book

Language: French

In twenty-five thematic chapters preceded by a reasoned introduction and followed by an afterword, this book takes a historical, anthropological and aesthetic look at aviaries, considered from Roman antiquity to contemporary times. Constructions, soundscapes, tableaux vivants, sources of knowledge and delight, aviaries remain places of containment that expose lives and stage relationships of domination. This book analyzes the great diversity of forms and structures, functions and uses – including in literature and contemporary art – while striving to identify key points. The study of aviaries invites us to rethink many aspects of the history of architecture, gardens and landscapes, representations of the world and the anthropology of relations between humans and non-humans. It also renews reflections on the circulations and links between art, living collections, naturalist knowledge, and colonial enterprises, to shed light on ways of cohabiting with birds.

Summary in French:
En vingt-cinq chapitres thématiques précédés d’une introduction raisonnée et suivis d’une postface, cet ouvrage porte un regard historique, anthropologique et esthétique sur les volières, envisagées de l’Antiquité romaine aux temps contemporains. Constructions, paysages sonores, tableaux vivants, sources de savoirs et de délectation, les volières demeurent des lieux de contention qui exposent des vies et mettent en scène des rapports de domination. Ce livre en analyse la grande diversité de formes et de structures, de fonctions et d’usages – y compris en littérature et dans l’art contemporain – tout en s’attachant à dégager des lignes de force. L’étude des volières invite à repenser de nombreux aspects de l’histoire de l’architecture, des jardins et des paysages, des représentations du monde et de l’anthropologie des relations entre humains et non-humains. Elle renouvelle également les réflexions sur les circulations et les liens entre arts, collections vivantes, savoirs naturalistes et entreprises coloniales, pour éclairer les manières de cohabiter avec les oiseaux.
