Research project at the EUI: For an archaeology of the contemporary world: Ruins in today's Europe.
the research seeks to study when and how the cultural and material shift from rubble to ruins turns to the realization of a conservative space that interprets the past and becomes a collective "site of conscience" . It also analyzes how a traumatic past, mainly as the result of wars and exterminations, has expressed a political discourse during the twentieth century.
