معرفی
Daniel Foliard is a Researcher at the Université de Paris within the Department of Arts and Visual Culture - History and Civilization. His work focuses on the history of photography, British colonial history (19th-20th centuries), and the intersection of colonialism with knowledge production and visual culture.
Research interests include the politics of colonial archives, the role of photography in imperial projects, and the ethical dimensions of representing historical trauma. He has contributed to debates on digital humanities methods for analyzing colonial visual materials, particularly through computational approaches to image databases like the EyCon Dataset.
Recent publications emphasize contested colonial narratives, the materiality of photographic archives, and the interplay between violence and visual representation. Key themes include the violence of colonial photography, the memory of conflict, and the reconstruction of silenced histories.
Foliard collaborates with institutions like the LARCA (Laboratoire d'Analyse et de Récits des Cultures et des Arts) and maintains an active presence in academic publishing, including special issue curation and critical reviews of historical scholarship on imperialism and visual culture.
