Area 3. Tectonics of Time

Research in this area considers the relationship to time and temporality, both linear and circular; mythical as well as materialized, forgotten or reinvented.

It questions the construction of time in all its social dimensions, the processes and modalities of actualizing the past, its socio-political uses, and its local arrangements. Spaces of mediation of the past will be considered here not only as places of reconfiguration of the past, but also as places that allow us to imagine the future and sketch out possibilities.

These reflections are based on ethnographic observations of ritual, artistic, and museographic practices, as well as archives (private, family, and museum). They are also based on experimental research methods and the testing of new forms of writing and knowledge sharing.
