Projet de recherche

This research project focuses on migratory collective imaginations in the Mediterranean Area for the last twenty years (from 2000 to 2020). “Migratory collective imaginations” designates representations of migrations artists produced in the Mediterranean Area during this period. The perspective is historical, i.e. it studies how contemporary artists sollicitate or not previous representational models of wandering, of the boat, the wall, and the border. It aims to be a critical survey in the way it offers an evaluation of the novelty or, on the contrary, of the stereotypes that the artists are mobilizing, and the different publics they are addressing their artworks: the artistic and academic spheres, migrants themselves, the political domain, etc. The investigation’s development aims to be interdisciplinary since it studies both the production and reception of the considered artworks, and the sociocultural context it determines.
