- Title
Des images contre des fourrures: Les débuts de la lanterne magique chez les Autochtones en Nouvelle-France (1683-1763).

- Abstract
Colonial representations of Indigenous Peoples in cinema have been studied and criticized for a long time. This discriminatory relationship with projected images was however initiated two centuries before the cinema, at the turn of the 18th century. The magic lantern, invented in 1659, quickly reached North America where it was used to impress the people of the First Nations in order to stimulate their interest in the «fur trade» and their cooperation with Europeans, French and English. Ongoing research into the history of the magic lantern has documented the initial encounters between the First Nations and this device, which early on served to alter their identity and that of the land on which they lived.
