Abstract

Tout passage d’un objet culturel d’un contexte dans un autre a pour conséquence une transformation de son sens, une dynamique de resémantisation, qu’on ne peut pleinement reconnaître qu’en tenant compte des vecteurs historiques du passage. On peut donc dire d’emblée que la recherche sur les transferts culturels concerne la plupart des sciences humaines même si elle s’est développée à partir d’un certain nombre de points d’ancrage précis. L’étude des transferts culturels conduit à relativiser l’importance de la comparaison et, par dessus tout, la notion de centre.
