Project related research
Prolongating the anthropological and political analysis of my PhD research (dedicated to the question of matchmaking in Today’s China, and to the historical importance of the question of love in Chinese politics and everyday life), the new research study I carry here concerns the fast development of animal welfare claims in Today’s China. Through the study of this fiercely debated issue, I question the political importance of emotion as well as the modalities of its social construction.
Other research interests
Anthropology of emotions, love, sexuality, gender, and morality.
