Yet while Gauguin went native, taking teenage mistresses, wearing local costumes and building his own wooden hut, his ultimate purpose was to impress the art world back home.
Probably he would maintain that at least some of the regards intended for artworks are common to all the artworlds there are and that it is this feature that unifies these artworlds as of a single type.
Rather than being in conflict, it is more accurate to suggest that these institutions lack a clear understanding of how they relate to each other under the emergence of an academy artworld.

pos: adj
examples: The division of Scholz himself, in the work last named, is into the Alexandrine and Constantinopolitan recension. […] But in amalgamating the Alexandrine and Western Mss. together, he has done not a little violence to both. Moreover, taking the fact as true, which Eusebius has related in respect to his making out fifty copies of the New Testament for the churches at Constantinople, in the time of Constantine; and the fact also that Eusebius is known, by the quotations in his works, to have given a preference to the Alexandrine copies; how can the superiority or even the discrepancy of the Constantinopolitan class of Mss. in respect to the Alexandrine, be so definitely made out?
Dioscorus sent a man there called Eutyches, a monk—monks had been too useful to Alexandrine politics to be abandoned.
In Peking he teamed up with a junior partner in the wool concern, a melancholy multi-lingual Alexandrine Greek who joined him from a trip to India on other business for the firm, for a fortnight’s concentrated talks with various corporation chiefs.
gloss: A native or inhabitant of Alexandria.
pos: noun
examples: The Alexandrines considered themselves Greeks and Macedonians. And, as a matter of fact, it does not seem likely that there was any considerable infusion of native Egyptian blood in the Alexandrines.
The Alexandrines, proud of their sophistication, claimed that the Cairenes were provincial, the Cairo girls somewhat dowdy; their petticoats showed below their dresses, and they boasted that the really beautiful Cairo girls all married in Alexandria. To prove their point, Alexandrines invariably mentioned the celebrated Quatour Fleuri, four beautiful young brides, all Cairo born, who had all married Alexandrian men—and were supposed to have acquired that extra chic in Alexandria.
Nestorius retired to his monastery; from there he was banished first to Petra in modern Jordan, and then to the deserts of Upper Egypt where he was persecuted by Egyptian monks and taken prisoner by hostile nomads. The affair was as much political as theological—the Romans and Alexandrines were jealous of his influence as patriarch of Constantinople—but it led to permanent schisms.
Before that point perhaps only a third of the empire’s inhabitants were Roman citizens.⁴ The remainder were either foreigners (peregrini) or had one or other of a range of statuses that can be thought of as part citizenships, among them Latins, Junian Latins, Alexandrines and the former slaves of Roman citizens.
