Je suis doctorante en histoire de l'art à Paris, à l'École Normale Supérieure dans le cadre du programme SACRe- PSL (Science Arts Création Recherche). Sous la direction de M. Dominique Poulot et Mme Nadeije Laneyrie Dagen je mène une thèse qui porte sur un "curieux" XIXème siècle: en un mot j'intérroge l'héritage des cabinets de curiosités au cours de ce siècle.
Après une licence en histoire de l'art  à l'Université de Pise (Italie) j'ai integré l'École Normale Supérieure de Paris, où j'ai poursuivi mon Master 1 et 2 en histoire de l'art, ainsi qu'auprès de l'Univerité de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
Depuis le master, je m'intéresse à l'histoire des cabinets de curiosités à la Renaissance ainsi qu'aux pratiques contemporaines qui s'inspirenet à ce sujet - agencements de musées et expositions, oeuvre d'artistes contemporaints, etc. Dans ce cadre, mes recherches portent sur l'histoire des collections, des musées - musées scientifiques et d'histoire naturelle en particulier - et du patrimoine.

What if we changed our views on heritage? And if heritage has already changed? While, on the global scene, states maintain their leading role in the mobilization of social and territorial histories, on the local scale, regions, neighbourhoods and parishes have changed. Citizens and communities too: they latch on to heritage to express an unprecedented range of belongings that no law seems to be able to take measures to contain, often to the discontent of...
