The sectors that interest me more specifically are:
I'm a lecturer at the Universities of Paris I and Paris VIII, teaching Æsthetics, Sciences of Art, Cultural Mediation and Cultural Studies since 2005, with passion and ambition.
I'm as well an Italian to French and French to Italian translator, a collective works' director, a proofreader and a layout artist for publishers in Paris and Krakow (PL).
Doctoral student under the joint supervision programme between universities of Paris I and Venice, I'm notably working on Æsthetics, Cultural Studies, Museology, Sciences of Art, with a special focus on cultures, modern and contemporary art, world literatures and cultural 'minorities', as well as the question of Sight and Identity.
I'm passionate about teaching, culture, language and languages, writing.
Mission: • Lecturer: 'How to exhibit culture ?' (second semester), for students preparing a MASTER'S DEGREE 1 and 2 in Plastic Arts and Arts (since 2008-2009, then opened to students in Mediation : Art and Publics since 2009-2010)
• Joint director for several students' Tutored Projects, preparing a Junior DEGREE (Licence 3) in Plastic Arts and Arts (since 2007-2008)
• Lecturer: 'Our Others' museum : Quai Branly museum' (second semester), for students preparing a Junior DEGREE (Licence 2 and 3) or a MASTER'S DEGREE 1 in Plastic Arts and Arts (intensive courses in 2006-2007, regular courses since 2007-2008)
• Lecturer: 'How to approach culture ?' (first semester), for students preparing a Junior DEGREE (Licence 2 and 3) or a MASTER'S DEGREE 1 in Plastic Arts and Arts (since 2006-2007)
Appraisal: Truly successful experiences; the initial small group of students grew up and reached a lecture's public size, with a focus on personal work of each student however, and corpus of experiences aimed to put into practice studied concepts.
Directing students' Tutored Projects allows more general approach for subjects and methods put into practice and at the same time a more individualized and progressive relationship on the educational point of vew.
This position, at first created for a replacement, became regular due to its success, allowed me to contribute in introducing Cultural Studies, connected to Æsthetics, in the university of Paris VIII and was confirmed thanks to students' very positive responses.
The amount of students grew from 12 to 71 per semester and group in two years.
Mission: • Lecturer: 'Æsthetics: Modernity' (second semester), for students preparing a Junior DEGREE (Licence 2) in Æsthetics and Sciences of Art (since 2008-2009)
• Lecturer: 'Introduction to Cultural Studies' (second semester), for students preparing a MASTER'S DEGREE 1 and 2 in Æsthetics, Art's and Culture's Trades and Cultural Studies, in collaboration with professor Pascal Le Brun-Cordier (since 2005-2006)
Means: In Æsthetics courses my purpose is to study some essential texts and to infer some philosophical skills, in order to analyse, afterwards, artworks from classic or contemporary history of art. The point is to put theory into practice and to stay aware of its vitality.
Cultural Studies courses are in fact seminar-debates with several wellknown guests (as Alexia Fabre, Jan Baetens, Ruwen Ogien, Patrick Baudry, Benoît De L’Estoile, Pascal Blanchard, Catherine Arc, Louis-Georges Tin, Laurent Martin, Eric Maigret) discussing subjects like post-colonialism and cultural domination, unconscious images of 'others', suburban culture, and so on. These lessons should be soon published (on paper and CD-Rom) in collaboration with Pascal Le Brun-Cordier and Bernard Darras.
Appraisal: Two really improving and fruitful experiences, in which a quite crowded and heterogeneous group was individually tutored; students have appreciated this introduction to such rich and complex subjects.
These two courses and their respective academic rigour made me also able to rise above disciplinary polemics, because they can marry Cultural Studies' active observation with Æsthetics' fundamental reflection - which are two essential philosophical skills since Antiquity.
