Resum

In this article, we critically discuss the relationship between immersive experience and technical/technological progress. To do so, we perform an aesthetic-cultural analysis of the imaginaries of Modernity and the uses of the pre-industrial past in the context of ethnographic archives and folklore museums, traditional handcraft objectology and ornament. Their forms of enunciation and exhibition are based, in a sui generis way, on immersive and overflowing strategies, despite their air of antimodernity. The framework of the present study was the Anglo-Saxon Hispanism at the end of the nineteenth century, and specifically the panoramic exhibition of the stunning – yet unknown in Spanish Academia – ethnographic museum founded by Henry Chapman Mercer at the beginning of the twentieth century in Doylestown (Pennsylvania). In this context, we reflect on the immersive nature of traditional popular cultures and their critical value in the present, which acts as a sort of social compensation in the face of the devaluation of material and social experience
