Research
The work carried out within CIREC deal with the “social present time” and the major current issues in fields as varied as that of health, housing, environment and even education.
Research-creations which study social worlds, focuses on individual singularity, the sensitive and political discourse of individuals, the traces of stories and history left on landscapes, bodies or buildings, daily life, between individual paths and social movements, negotiation, resignation, revolt and inventiveness.
At the same time, CIREC actively participates in the development of international analyzes on the epistemological and methodological issues that research-creation conveys.
