Faire entrer les « récits de soi » au musée. La collection ethnographique de la Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration
Abstrak
Collecting “individual stories” to establish the “shared history” of immigration in France is one of the fundamental principles of the Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration (National Centre of Immigration History, CNHI), in Paris. It is a museum that opened in 2007 in order to create a “Centre of history and living memory”. According to this vision, a three-pronged collection was constituted according to history, ethnography, and contemporary art. The ethnographic collections are composed of individual life stories, accompanied by the donation of objects. In this way, the CNHI becomes the depositary of “self-narratives” of migrants whether French or not, and of their children or grandchildren. This article explains how the collections were created and reflects on the universal dimension of the migratory phenomenon.
