Presentation:
The symposium aims to consider the history’s repressed and its consequences in an historical, anthropological and esthetic perspective. Several areas of research are privileged: the role of images and archives for the understanding of the past; the memory of places and territories; the emergent artistic scene, in particular ways of reappropriation of the past that keeps coming back.

Free admission. All are welcome.
