Artistic Migration and Identity in Paris, 1870-1940 / Migration artistique et identité à Paris, 1870-1940 cover

Through an interdisciplinary approach, this book explores the phenomenon of artistic migration in Paris during the Third Republic. This allows a comparison of case studies by researchers from different fields, and encourages reflection that goes beyond the disciplinary specializations of music, literature and the visual arts in order to produce a more general understanding of issues related to artistic migration in the French capital. This project offers insight into the formation of national imaginaries, the place occupied by foreigners in the artistic tradition of a territory, and the relationship among nationalism, internationalism, xenophobia and aesthetic judgment. Cultural historians, immigration historians and musicologists, as well as historians of art and literature, are the targeted readers.

Cet ouvrage explore de façon interdisciplinaire (musique, littérature et arts visuels) la réalité de la migration artistique à Paris sous la Troisième République, donnant ainsi la possibilité à des chercheur(e)s issu(e)s de différents domaines de comparer leurs études de cas, et de formuler des réflexions qui dépassent leur champ de spécialisation en vue d’une compréhension plus générale des enjeux liés à l’immigration artistique à Paris. Ce thème offre une profondeur diachronique – donnée par l’histoire de la culture – aux réflexions actuelles sur la formation interculturelle des imaginaires nationaux, la place occupée par les étrangers dans la tradition artistique d’un territoire, ou encore les rapports entre nationalisme, internationalisme, xénophobie et jugement esthétique. Les historiens culturels, les historiens de l’immigration, les musicologues, les historiens de l’art et de la littérature constituent le large bassin de lecteurs ciblés.

Artistic Migration and Identity in Paris, 1870–1940 brings together the disciplines of music, art, literature, history, theatre, photography and architecture to explore Paris’s attraction for artists from across the globe during the Third Republic. It shows the extent to which migrant artists shared spaces in Paris, forming their own national, stylistic, aesthetic communities, and occupying and shaping venues to create cosmopolitan communities. It teases out important tensions between the promotion of Paris as a cosmopolitan city and the fears surrounding stylistic internationalization. Looking beyond the confines of one particular discipline, the volume makes a new and vital contribution to uncovering the impact of individual migrating artists on collaborations, artistic identities and communities within the city considered by Pascal Ory to be the ‘cultural capital of the world’.”—Barbara Kelly, Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM)
