Anthropology of art, with particular reference to the contemporary productions of Western Africa, to the social contexts of production, use and reception in Africa and in the international contexts; anthropology of cultural heritage and new forms of production of ‘museums’ in the contemporary world; the intertwining relation of design to anthropology;
Applied anthropology and application of ethnographic method to complex organizations; research applied to industrial production and work organizations; situated learning and research action in business contexts;
Anthropology of education, of and in learning contexts, formal and informal alike; counselling and anthropology of education; learning process in contexts of social interaction.
For each of these thematic axes I have carried out activities both in academic (publications, organization of scholarly events, seminars and workshops), and didactic contexts (courses, seminars), and in extra-academic projects (national and international projects in collaboration with public and private institutions, exhibitions).
