Marta Jecu

My academic formation reflects the interdisciplinary character of my work. I have B.A. degree in Theory of Art, M.A. in Cultural Anthropology, PhD in interdisciplinary artistic studies at Interart College, Freie Universitaet Berlin. My work is combining cultural anthropology, visual studies, heritage studies and considers visual arts as a means for innovative transmission of social and cultural content. My post-doctorate in Lisbon (2011-2017) benefited of a FCT GRANT at the institute CICANT, ULHT. Here I further developed the theoretical work connected to heritage enhancement, monument studies, personal and collective memory and the role of contemporary art for innovation in these disciplines. During this time, I wrote ‘Architecture and the Virtual’, published at University at Chicago Press. In the last 1o years, I have published 4 edited volumes (1 in preparation now) at international editors in Berlin, Paris, Lisbon), 6 research booklets, 12 peer review articles in international journals and books, aprox. 4 articles/year in art magazines and catalogues. I have conceived and organised 11 international conferences and participated at 21 international conferences.
