Description
Summary:During the 1930’s, researchers André Leroi-Gourhan from France and Shibusawa Keizō from Japan began to study Japanese material culture in a scientific perspective. This paper seeks to compare the work of these two figures in order to illustrate the synchronicity of both countries’ epistemological interrogations. It further aims to assess the influence of their thought following the profound changes affecting museums in France and Japan since the beginning of the twenty-first century.
