Summary :
The National Geographic is a magazine but also an institution. What representation of the world does it give us through the analysis of a series of articles on primates in Africa? This analysis is presented to us by a dazzling Donna Haraway, directed and filmed by a collective of her students, including Nathalie Magnan, as part of Paper Tiger Television. Wild graphics and kitsch sets contribute to an amusing and clear explanation of a very complex essay by the philosopher, sociologist, science historian and biologist, professor emeritus at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
