Une anthropologie de la politique des Capitales européennes de la Culture vue des « marges ». Ethnographie comparée des cas de GeNova04, Marseille-Provence 2013 et Matera-Basilicata 2019.

A comparative ethnographic analysis of the European Capital of Culture program reveals how local institutions and civic participation are reshaped by both European policy directives and regional pressures. The study, focusing on Genoa (2004), Marseille-Provence (2013), and Matera-Basilicata (2019), demonstrates that these programs act as catalysts for power dynamics, blending external incentives with territorial demands to redefine cultural governance. By examining critical phases of local political recomposition, the research highlights the program's dual role as both a driver and a reflection of societal change in Mediterranean cities.
