Les jardins zoologiques ou l'exotique à portée de main

Abstract

Abstract : This paper shows how the exotic is a key concept to analyse zoos. Wherever their location in the world, zoos always show the same core collection. Looking at what continents and animals zoos present, we can analyse them as a form of microcosm of the world, mainly constructed through the lenses of colonisation. Zoos try to build a place that is away in space and time, at a supposed golden age when few technology was between Nature and Mankind.
