The project

Title: Géo-Récits: An Opportunity to Study the Seen and Unseen Sides of Scientific Exiles from Argentina in an Intergenerational and Contemporary Perspective

This academic stay aims to develop a research-creation project exploring the connections between the deterioration of research conditions in Argentina, the restrictive turn in migration policies under Javier Milei's government, and the intergenerational transmission of scientific exile within my family. In dialogue with Pascale Laborier's Géo-Récits framework, the project will produce a transgenerational biographical corpus, narrative maps, and an indexed archive of traces.

Hosting institution: Institut des sciences sociales du politique (ISP)
