| Abstract | |
This work follows the production and the transatlantic circulation of one of the many images of Haiti: the popular Haiti, an aesthetic-anthropological landscape widely proliferated in the middle of the XX century. Through a series of documentary sources and having the Franco-Swiss anthropologist Alfred Métraux (1902-1963) as main guide, the research explores the creation of three institutional experiences in the country in the 1940s: the Bureau d\'Ethnologie (1941), the Unesco museum / library in Marbial (1948) and the Centre d\'Art (1944). Despite its different natures, these experiments, which combine the fields of museology, education and scientific production, share not only a similar purpose - to provide Haiti a culture translateable into objects and images -, but also the same network of people in charge of its production: haitian and foreign intellectuals, artists, politicians and bureaucrats. The research is therefore an exercise of ethnographic imagination with the documents that follows the flow of people, things and ideas present in the emergence of these institutions, unraveling the meanings of the popular Haiti that was in this period displayed on walls, shelves and exhibitions.
