| Sumario: | This article examines how Amerindians participate agentially in a circuit of contagious experience as portrait subjects of settler artists and photographers like Benjamin West, George Catlin, E. S. Curtis, and others. Embodiment in a portrait is a dialogical and iterative bridge that enables the subject to contextualize an address to the home community through religion, kinship, or culture. Cet article s'intéresse à la participation agentielle des Amérindiens à un circuit d'expériences contagieuses, en tant que sujets de portraits réalisés par des colons artistes et photographes comme Benjamin West, George Catlin et E. S. Curtis, entre autres. La personnification dans un portrait sert de pont dialogique et itératif, en permettant au sujet de contextualiser un discours à sa communauté d'origine par l'intermédiaire de la religion, de la parenté ou de la culture. |
