On that occasion, Photography of China's founder Marine Cabos-Brullé has been invited to talk about the Mission Paul Pelliot as the INHA currently holds several archival materials and photographs from this expedition to China. She will present the paper "La vie des images : de l’usage et des trajectoires du fonds photographique de la Mission Paul Pelliot (1906-08)". By exploring the vast photographic corpus created during the Paul Pelliot Mission – notably those representing the oasis of Dunhuang – this communication will highlight the emergence of heritage and archaeological concerns in China, and the growing place of photography in scientific disciplines such as archaeology, while highlighting the interaction of these images with local and international cultures. The goal is to delimit the visual grammar of the photographs and gauging their effect in the (re)construction of the Chinese national heritage.
