Power and Limits of Representation. On the Work of Louis Marin.
Based upon the work of Louis Marin, this article analyses the definitions and usages of the notion of representation when it is understood to be both basic category of the conceptual tools of XVIIth century man and pertinent historiographic instrument to describe modes of thought or the mechanisms of domination at work in the society of the Ancien Regime. The intellectual stakes were triple to pick out the historical dimensions and functionings of representation to identify the relations between modes of make-believe and forms of belief in their variations and their different fields to note the irreductibility of the different styles of representation (for example between the text and the image).
