The contribution of arts for development has recently received a great deal of attention from international donors ad organizations. The anthropology of art, however, has participated in a limited way in these debates. Borrowing theoretical tools from the socio-anthropology of development, this paper questions the politics of knowledge involved in the implementation of art projects in postcolonial context. Drawing on ethnographical research in Botswana on an art project opened by a NGO for the San people, it describes the ways areas of knowledge and non-knowledge have been attributed. It shows that the conceptions of knowledge at stake in the making of contemporary San art indirectly reproduce a Great Divide between modernity and tradition, which has direct impacts on the ways the practice is appropriated by local actors.

成为传统:当代圣艺术与(非)知识的产生
艺术对发展的贡献最近已受到国际捐助者广告组织的极大关注。然而,艺术人类学以有限的方式参与了这些辩论。本文从发展的社会人类学中借用了理论工具,对在后殖民时代背景下实施艺术项目所涉及的知识政治提出了质疑。一个非政府组织为圣人开设的艺术项目借鉴了博茨瓦纳的人种学研究,它描述了知识和知识领域的方式。不知道已归因于。它表明,当代圣艺术创作中所涉及的知识概念间接地再现了现代性与传统之间的巨大鸿沟,这直接影响了当地行为者采用这种做法的方式。
