摘要

文章的重点是 signares 的物质文化，即十八和十九世纪一个特殊的欧非女性群体的物品和代表作，该群体由来自圣路易-杜塞内加尔和戈雷岛的混血女性组成。通过与欧洲商人的婚姻联盟，signares 形成了商业和政治精英。这篇文章指出了她们所追求的跨文化的自我塑造技巧，从而使她们被认定为有权势的女性。文章将她们的做法作为讨论当代欧洲装饰理论的一种方式，将凯蒂-卢埃（Caty Louet）和安娜-科拉斯（Anna Colas）在织物、头饰和建筑领域的发明与戈特弗里德-森佩尔（Gottfried Semper）和查尔斯-布朗（Charles Blanc）的装饰语法并列。通过对保罗-吉尔罗伊（Paul Gilroy）的 "黑色大西洋"（Black Atlantic）概念的更新和拓宽，这篇文章直面了这一广阔地理空间中的艺术理论，因为这些理论既蕴含在文本中，也蕴含在实践中。

The Self-Fashioning of the Signares: A Case for Decentring Artistic Modernity

The essay focuses on the material culture of the signares, that is, the objects and representations of an exceptional Eurafrican female community in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, composed of mixed-race women from Saint-Louis du Sénégal and the island of Gorée. Through their matrimonial alliances with European merchants, signares formed a commercial and political elite. The essay identifies the transcultural technique of self-fashioning which they pursued so that they would be identified as powerful women. It addresses their practices as a way of discussing contemporary European theories of ornament, juxtaposing Caty Louet's and Anna Colas's invention in the domains of fabrics, headdresses and architecture with Gottfried Semper's and Charles Blanc's grammars of adornment. In a renewed and broadened conception of Paul Gilroy's Black Atlantic, the essay confronts theories of art in this vast geographical space as they were embedded – and can be unveiled – in texts as much as in practices.
