«Essai sur l'exotisme» is the philosophical essay by Victor Segalen, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (157 pages, in French).
Segalen rethinks exoticism as an aesthetic of diversity: a perception of cultural difference that neither absorbs nor reduces the foreign. The volume gathers Segalen's fragments on this concept and is completed with «Textes sur Gauguin et l'Océanie» and the study «Segalen et l'exotisme» by Gilles Manceron.
The volume is number 4 in the «Biblio essais» collection and carries the subtitle «Une esthétique du divers».
For readers interested in philosophy, cultural theory and sociology, as well as travel literature and the debate on alterity.
Victor Segalen was a French naval doctor, ethnographer, archeologist, writer, poet, explorer, art-theorist, linguist and literary critic.
