Jean-Louis Tornatore is professor at the University of Burgundy, where he currently teach heritage studies, museology and anthropology, and researcher at the Centre Georges Chevrier – Savoirs: normes et sensibilités (CNRS-uB - Dijon). His research extends in two very closely connected directions: a political socio-anthropology of the "relationship to the past" (heritage, memory, culture) and of ways of being "in time," from a pragmatic perspective; and an anthropology of the expertise and commitment of researchers, from a "nonauthoritarian" perspective. He conducted a large-scale survey of the memory and heritage work carried out by regular people in an industrial area in crisis—the iron-rich Lorraine region—and the artistic and cultural recuperation of machines and industrial sites (connecting art, memory, and heritage). He coordinated and participated recently in two research projects, one on the affordances of monuments and their publics, the other on popular dynamics around the concept of "intangible cultural heritage." He is now interested in emerging forms of "civic heritage-izations" and experiences of anti-capitalism.
