Unfortunately the Research Mission of Professor Maria Leticia Mazzucchi Ferreira to the city of Nice in France was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Research Mission aimed to conduct a series of interviews with visual record with the anthropologist Joël Candau, one of the most important references in the world on the theme of memory. Within the framework of the project that addresses memory and ageing, this series of interviews would seek to recover the theoretical assumptions in which Joël Candau formulated the concept of metamemory and the connections he has been making with neurosciences. The fieldwork would be carried out at the University of Nice but also in the documentary archive of the CNRS in Paris, between the 24th and 26th of March 2019. The product that would derive from this mission would be a bilingual bibliographic book in which the intellectual biography would be enriched with texts by other professionals in the interdisciplinary field, who discuss the ideas formulated by Joël Candau.
If the pandemic ends, this Mission may happen in 2022.
