About this title

Synopsis

L'Occident conna�t de singuliers ph�nom�nes de mode qui remettent en cause les st�r�otypes concernant la beaut� du corps. Curieux paradoxe. Et si les peintures corporelles, les scarifications, les d�formations du cr�ne et les perforations des oreilles, du nez et de la bouche, pratiques perp�tu�es de g�n�ration en g�n�ration par de nombreux peuples africains, assuraient un corps id�al?
Car ces interventions, de m�me que les objets port�s sur le corps, de fa�on visible ou cach�e, bracelets, colliers, pendentifs et coiffes, transforment les hommes et les femmes, � chaque �tape de leur vie, et constituent les signes de leur identit� personnelle et sociale.
Pour compl�ter l'analyse, cet ouvrage s'appuie sur les t�moignages que nous apporte la sculpture traditionnelle : statuettes scarifi�es ou portant des ornements et parures, qu'elles soient taill�es dans le bois, l'ivoire ou bien r�alis�es en or ou en bronze.
Toutes ces œuvres contribuent � mettre en relief les d�sirs et les enjeux qui justifient les apparences.
