Biographie
Octave Debary is an anthropologist, professor at the University of Paris (Paris Descartes, France), member of the CANTHEL laboratory (University of Paris Descartes). He is also associated professor at the University of Neuchâtel in Switzerland (anthropology of museum and art). His research and publications concern the following fields: the anthropology of objects and museography as well as the anthropology of heritage and memory. His main field of research is a project of comparative anthropology focusing on memory. It consists in the analysis of the operations surrounding the circulation of objects in cultural spaces (museums, memorials), trading spaces (second-hand shops, yard sales) and public spaces (malls, parks). He has published several books on these subjects: Vide-greniers with Howard S. Becker (Créaphis, 2011). Montrer les violences extrêmes. Expositions, musées, with Annette Becker (eds), (Créaphis, 2012). Voyage au Musée du quai Branly, with Mélanie Roustan, prefaced by James Clifford (La Documentation française, 2012). Que faire des restes? Le réemploi dans les sociétés d’accumulation(collectif), Presses Universitaires de Sciences Politiques (2017) and Resemblance in the Work of Jochen Gerz, (2017).
