À la périphérie de l'Empire: Constructions et représentations de la Mauritanie sous administration coloniale française / On the periphery of the Empire: Constructions and Representations of Mauritania under French Colonial administration
Resumen
Resumé
Cet article propose une brève réflexion sur le statut de la Mauritanie dans le contexte des colonies de l’Afrique-Occidentale française, en mettant l’accent sur la manière dont le pays a pu, de manière récurrente, être relégué à la périphérie de l'empire colonial français d’Afrique. A travers l’analyse de la présence de la Mauritanie lors des Expositions Coloniales de la première moitié du XXe siècle et de sa promotion touristique durant la période coloniale, nous ébaucherons quelques remarques sur le statut périphérique de la Mauritanie dans le cadre des territoires de l’Afrique Occidentale sous administration coloniale française1.
Mots-clés : Mauritanie, Afrique-Occidentale française, Expositions coloniales, Tourisme, Empire
Abstract
Throughout this text I will try to contribute to a brief reflection on the status of Mauritania in the context of the colonies of French West Africa, along which I will focus on how the country was recurrently placed in the periphery of the french colonial empire in Africa.Based on the analysis of the presence of Mauritania in the Colonial Exhibitions of the first half of the XX century, as well as in tourism promotion during the colonial period, I will outline, through the constructions and representations conveyed by this corpus, some considerations on the peripheral status of Mauritania within the territories of French West Africa under colonial administration.
