Sammendrag

During the 19th century, new practices emerge in the western represen- tation of cultural otherness. One of these – whose importance is often disregarded by Academia, was the practice of exhibition of living “natives” in zoological gardens, amusement parks and circuses. By seeing these exhibitions as ‘immutable mobiles’, I am trying to demonstrate how these became instrumental for the “success” of racial discourse, by contributing to moving facts around to make them take on an apparent universality.
