Summary

Michel Leris: Phantom Africa

In 1930, while he was a dissident of Surrealism and working for the magazine Documents, Michel Leris received an invitation from his colleague, the ethnographer Marcel Griol, to join the team that Griol formed for a trip to Africa - the "Dakar - Djibouti" mission. - almost two years. Michel Leris, a writer, was invited not only to familiarize himself with the ethnographic research but also to become the historiographer of the mission, and his role in this was to carefully keep a diary of the journey instead of subordinating everything picturesque to the classical. putopis. According to the great sociologist Marcel Moss, this is exactly the kind of record that researchers should keep as part of fieldwork. However, the personal stamp that Leris gave to this practice meant that the travel diary soon turned into an "intimate diary", since it was understood that if it were limited to external events only, it would appear to the observer to be deceiving by not excluding key parts of specific events. In addition, didn't he, for whom this trip initially represented a departure from the literary life to which he was poorly adapted, have an experience of essential importance: he encountered a science completely unknown to him until then, but also the African world, which he knew insufficiently and only through legend?
