Cette thèse s’attache à mettre à jour les mécanismes de représentation et de réappropriation de l’intérieur domestiqueau sein des installations depuis les années 1950.Il s’agit de s’interroger quant aux raisons et significations de la présence de motifs hérités du XIXe siècle (nivellement social, distinction entre espace domestique et public, mise-en-scène de soi, accumulation de biens, valorisation de l’ornementation... ), au sein de pratiques contemporaines. Plus loin, on cherche à établir une typologie de personae archétypales au sein des oeuvres contemporaines. Témoin de l’émergence de l’intérieur autant que de la normalisation des conventions sociales, le XIXe siècle est également le creuset des avants-gardes artistiques autant que des révolutions – politiques, industrielles, sociales. Pourtant, c’est vers la figure conservatrice du bourgeois et d’un espace très réglementé que se tournent les artistes lorsqu’ils choisissent de se réapproprier l’intérieur domestique. Dès lors, existe-t-il des changements structurels ou des modulations dans la représentation des intérieurs depuis le XIXe siècle ? Le cas échéant, les formes adoptées par ces oeuvres sont elles issues des mêmes sources que lors de la naissance du genre ?À travers un ensemble d’exemples empruntés au champ de la création contemporaine, mais également à ceux des pratiques curatoriales et muséographiques, de la sociologie, de la littérature ou de la micro-histoire, il s’agit de dresser des pistes de réflexion quant aux enjeux soulignés par ces réalisations, afin d’en présenter les variations et ce qu’elles induisent, hors d’un compte rendu exhaustif. La pratique plastique est partie liée du sujet de recherche, l’anecdote y est érigée en guide en ce qu’elle offre une liberté d’accès sans précédent aux faits historiques, transformations sociales, mécanismes de domination ou productions culturelles. C’est à son émergence au sein de l’intérieur par le décoratif que cet objet est afférent au sujet de recherche. / This dissertation intends to unveil the mecanisms of representation and influence on the domestic interior in installations from the 1950s onwards.It is about questioning reasons and meanings of the presence of 19th century patterns ( social levelling, distinction between domestic and public space, hoarding, promotion of the ornementation...) in contemporary practices. Furtheron, the dissertation tries to establish a typology of archetypal personae in contemporary works.19th century is not only the testimony of the rise of the interior and the standardization of social conventions but also aspring of artistic avant-gardes as well as political, industrial and social revolutions. However, when artists deal withdomestic interior they would rather refer to the conservative figure of the bourgeois and a regulated space. Consequently,has there been structural changes or modulations in the representation of interiors since the 19th century ? If so, do the forms used by these works have the same foundation as when the genre was created ?Through examples drawn from contemporary creation but also from curatorial and museographic practices, sociology, litterature or microhistory, we intend to find approaches in link with the issues raised by these works in order to present their variations and what they imply. A complete report is not intended in this dissertation.The visual art practice is directly related to the research topic. Anecdote is used as a lead because it offers an unprecedented access to historical facts, social changes, mechanisms of domination or cultural productions. It is thanks to its appearence in the interior through the decorative that this object is linked to the research topic.

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo abordar historicamente a construção física e simbólica da Casa do Bandeirante, um museu evocativo da época das bandeiras. Ela foi inaugurada em 1955, no encerramento das comemorações do IV Centenário da Cidade de São Paulo, tendo sido sua restauração realizada sob responsabilidade da comissão organizadora desses festejos. Primeira das \"casas históricas\" pertencente à Prefeitura Municipal, compõe o atual acervo arquitetônico do Museu da Cidade. Este projeto analisa o período que se estende de 1954 a 1964, durante a primeira fase do museu, sob a direção de Paulo Camilher Florençano, quando o espaço fora projetado para ser um cenário do modo de vida paulista durante o período colonial. Naquele momento a Casa do Bandeirante tratava heroicamente o \"ciclo das bandeiras\", mitificando-o, a partir de uma exposição por meio do period room, eixos conceituais da exposição que lá esteve até 1978. São objetivos desta dissertação compreender e analisar o processo conceitual e institucional de criação da Casa do Bandeirante pela Prefeitura de São Paulo, através da Comissão do IV Centenário da Cidade de São Paulo, problematizar a primeira montagem curatorial, com a formulação de uma identidade paulista calcada no mito sertanista e seus referenciais museológicos, a formação e o perfil de seu acervo de peças históricas. / This dissertation aims to approach, historically, the physical and symbolic construction of The Bandeirante House, an evocative museum of the time of \"bandeiras\" (former Brazilian settlers). It was inaugurated in 1955, at the end of the celebrations of the IV Centenary of the City of São Paulo, with its restoration being carried out under the responsibility of the organizing committee of those festivities. The first of the \"historical homes\" belonging to the city hall, it is part of the current architectural collection of São Paulo\'s city museums. The time covered in this project extends from 1955 to 1964, during the first period of the Museum, under the direction of Paul Camilher Florençano, when this cultural space was designed to present a scenario of the way of living in São Paulo during the colonizer period. At that moment, The Bandeirante House conceived heroically the \"Bandeirante Cycle\", dealing with as a myth by the presentation of an exhibition by period room, conceptual guidelines of the exhibition held until 1978. The goals of this dissertation are to analyze the conceptual and institutional creating process of the Bandeirante House, to understand and document its acquisition policy and to discuss the first long term exhibition of the institution, based the \"sertanista myth\" and its museum references.

Dans cette thèse, nous étudions la period room présentée dans le musée d’art. À travers un examen de sa spécificité matérielle, spatiale et temporelle, nous analysons les mécanismes propres à cette stratégie de mise en exposition et nous identifions ses principales conditions de possibilité. Ce faisant, nous étudions les différents savoirs qui sont sollicités par la period room, leurs interactions ainsi que l’apport réciproque de cette stratégie de mise en exposition à la construction de ces savoirs et ce, de manière à établir les fondements d’une épistémologie de la period room. Nous montrons ainsi quelle est sa contribution particulière à l’élaboration et à la médiation de l’histoire dans l’espace muséal. Grâce à cette étude, nous posons des assises conceptuelles qui permettent de repenser le rôle de la period room pour la discipline de l’histoire de l’art, déjouant par le fait même les apories de l’historicisme et de l’authenticité en vertu desquelles la period room est le plus souvent discréditée. Nous procédons par études de cas à partir d’un corpus principalement composé de period rooms ayant pour référents des intérieurs français de la seconde moitié du 18ième siècle et qui sont présentées dans des musées d’art américains (Frick Collection, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art) et dans un musée canadien d’histoire naturelle et culturelle (Royal Ontario Museum). Dans la première partie de la thèse, nous établissons la typologie muséographique de la period room et nous envisageons les enjeux, notamment idéologiques, associés à la question de son « authenticité » à travers une analyse de son double statut de pastiche et de simulacre. Nous posons en outre l’un des fondements théoriques de notre étude en montrant que, parce qu’elle est formée de l’articulation entre pouvoirs et savoirs, la period room est un dispositif au sens où l’entendent Michel Foucault (1977) et Giorgio Agamben (2007). Dans la seconde partie, nous examinons la spécificité matérielle de la period room en démontrant comment elle est simultanément une réunion d’objets et un « tout », c’est-à-dire un objet muséographique en elle-même. Nous étudions les implications épistémologiques de cette idée pour la représentation de l’histoire proposée au moyen de la period room, tout en portant une attention particulière aux enjeux politiques qui informent cette représentation dans l’espace muséal. Dans la troisième partie, nous nous concentrons sur les particularités spatiales et temporelles de cette stratégie de mise en exposition et nous démontrons que, en dépit de son apparente unité de lieu et de temps, la period room est composée de plusieurs espaces et concentre plusieurs temps. En puisant dans la spécificité même de ce dispositif, nous élaborons des outils théoriques et méthodologiques inédits qui contribuent à repenser la fonction de la period room pour la mise en forme et la transmission de l’histoire. En conclusion, nous présentons une dernière étude de cas qui, examinant l’intervention de Valerie Hegarty dans trois period rooms du Brooklyn Museum (2013), synthétise les principaux enjeux traités dans la thèse et défend la valeur d’actualité de la period room. / This dissertation studies the period room as exhibited in the art museum. Through an examination of its material, spatial, and temporal specificity, I analyze the mechanisms proper to this exhibition strategy and identify its main conditions of possibility. I study the several knowledges at play in this exhibition strategy and their interactions, as well as the period room’s reciprocal contribution to the construction of these knowledges. In so doing, I establish the basis for an epistemology of the period room and argue for the period room’s singular contribution to the elaboration and mediation of history within the museum space. This study allows me to lay down conceptual foundations for rethinking the period room’s role for art historical practice, and thus to overcome the aporias of historicism and authenticity for which the period room is most often discredited. In the first part, I establish the period room’s museographic typology. Through an analysis of its double status as pastiche and simulacrum, I consider the issues, especially ideological, related to the question of the period room’s “authenticity.” In addition, I elaborate one of this dissertation’s theoretical premises by demonstrating that, because it consists of the articulation of powers and knowledges, the period room is an apparatus (dispositif) as understood by Michel Foucault (1977) and Giorgio Agamben (2007). In the second part, I examine the period room’s material specificity by showing that it is simultaneously a gathering of objects and a “whole,” that is to say, a museographic object in itself. I study the epistemological implications of this idea for the representation of history that the period room offers, while paying special attention to the political stakes informing this representation in the museum space. In the third part, I concentrate on the spatial and temporal particularities of this exhibition strategy. I demonstrate that, despite its seeming unity of place and time, the period room is composed of multiple spaces and concentrates various times. By drawing on its specificity, I develop new theoretical and methodological tools that contribute to the renewal of the period room’s function for the shaping and transmitting of history.
