The museum experience in the 19th century

For a history of the gaze. The first attraction of this book is that it proposes, above all, an art of seeing. Describing the advent of a "new perceptual regime" and the way in which public forces attempted to "program" it in the 19th century,
Pascal Griener develops his own method. Extensive documentary research, rigorous analysis and demonstration are combined with the art of urban wandering. Scholarly and erudite, it presupposes a personal experience of the big city, the mood of an available and imaginative stroller, sensitive to a thousand crossroads and to those instantaneous apparitions where, for the time of a flash, past and present are superimposed. The author frees himself from the limits of a history of collections confined to institutional and political aspects, or to the narrow framework of national historiography. Instead, he opens his investigation to another perspective, that of an anthropology of the gaze, to explore the status of the art object in its symbolic dimension and its magical charge. The aim is to take a two-pronged approach, linking individual experience to the social forces that permeate and shape it.
The nineteenth century Pascal Griener writes about mirrors our own. This essay has the great merit of challenging the habits of anyone interested in the history of taste and museology, and we have no doubt that it will find attentive readers beyond the small world of specialists.
