Dracula, le monstre et les savants : entre Darwin et Bunyan by René Gallet

“…Mina mentions the names of Nordau and Lombroso quite late in the book (chapter XXV); however, the latter had begun to leave his mark on the narrative almost from the very start: much of Dracula’s “physiognomy” is borrowed from Lombroso’s description of the “born criminal”, the anthropological type defined in L’uomo Deliquente. The same is true with Renfield’s “temperament”. …”

Manifestation du 17 octobre 1961 à Paris, L’oubli pour mémoire collective d’une violente répression policière by Julien Buzenet

“…By addressing contextually the different elements involved in this lack of history, it exposes the censorship, amnesty, amnesia, silence and official or media discourses as limits to the social frameworks of the collective memory of this event and the violence it generated. Offering an anthropological analysis of the plurality of factors of this oversight, the author exhumes a hidden form of collective cooperation without which no scotoma could have been maintained permanently, and releases a field of unification between memory and history. …”

Representación del indígena en el cine venezolano: Contrastando estereotipos: entre ficciones y realidades by Emperatriz  Arreaza  Camero

“…The objective of this paper is to know the image of the indigenous communities in the Venezuelan cinema (1998-2008), and the representation of these ethnics groups, through the definition of “national identity” in contemporary Venezuela, especially since the struggles of the indigenous people for their cultural and ethnic survival, their defense of their land, and their political and economic self-determination.It is important to remember that in 1968, during the first government of Rafael Caldera (1969-1974), the country began a “new indigenous policy”, in the midst of the economic desarrollista model implanted for this government, called the conquest of the South [la Conquista del Sur], which also allowed a new ethnographic and socio-anthropological approach to the indigenous communities, from different filmmakers formed in Venezuela and abroad. …”
