Rezumat: Originally, a world fair was conceived as a competition where each participant hoped to obtain a direct profit from the sale of its products. Later, it had become a stage which disseminated various ways of life, ideologies or political constructs, that is, coherent systems of representation, underscored by a globalising principle. A dominant role in the development of the idea of exhibition has been held by the classifying rationale which, on the one hand ordered, according to certain affinities, a heterogeneous amalgamation of products, while on the other made the comparison of the objects exposed possible (reunited in groups or classes), objects which were subjected to the examination of competent juries. Initially, the classification has targeted the economic domain exclusively, the only interesting one for the industrial and liberal societies, as has happened at the international exhibitions of London (1851, 1862) and Paris (1855). From the world fair in Vienna in 1873, when the visitors no longer found in the Rotonde der Industrialpalast compartments with categories of products, but rather true economic, national sections (to a certain extent, things presented themselves in a similar way at the Paris exhibition of 1867), the classification revealed its encyclopaedic, universal ambition, as well as the national component (see the so-called “Rues des Nations” from the world fairs of 1878 and 1900, which brought together, in a specially arranged neighbourhood, the representative edifices of the participating countries). |
