CIRPAT is a project initiated by Cécile Doustaly (UMR Héritages) and involving some of her doctoral students, in order to cross-reference their complementary work and expertise with that of other researchers on heritage circulations in the world, in particular between Europe and Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean.
The research notes a reconfiguration of heritage circulations and cooperations, particularly in the context of increased debates on decolonization and restitutions by cultural sites and institutions. CIRPAT is interested in the effects of these developments on the training and practices of professionals on both sides.
