Régine THIRIEZ, Barbarian lens : western photographers of the qianlong emperor's european palaces, New York, Gordon and Breach, 1998, 191 p. Compte-rendu de Gérard Lévy "Dans le domaine encore peu étudié des premières décennies de la photographie en Chine, ce travail ouvre une voie nouvelle aux chercheurs: celle de l'étude systématique au cours du temps des diverses représentations d'un sujet unique et de leur contexte. 2Il s'agit ici de monuments aussi célèbres qu'ils sont peu connus, les palais de style européen construits près de Beijing pour le grand empereur Qianlong par des missionnaires jésuites au milieu du XVIIIe siècle, qui furent incendiés lors du sac du Palais d'Été, en 1860. La recherche porte, d'une part, sur le sujet photographié et ses représentations, d'autre part, sur les quelques hommes qui entre 1860 et 1925 photographièrent ces ruines, depuis pratiquement anéanties.
