Revue en ligne. Titre du numéro: "Identité fictive et fictionnalisation de l’identité (II)"
Abstract
Depuis les années 1970 et en particulier dès les années 1980, les artistes, et notamment les photographes, ont utilisé un alter ego et employé la fiction pour se raconter et traiter de questions relatives aux trois principaux signes identitaires : le genre, l’ethnie et l’orientation sexuelle. Le présent article propose d’analyser deux autoportraits d’artistes noirs, l’Afro-Américaine Renee Cox et l’Africain Samuel Fosso, se représentant dans la peau de saint Sébastien. Chacun d’eux, à sa manière, interroge l’identité noire au travers d’un double.
