Chiara Pussetti
I completed my PhD in 2003. Over the last 16 years, I have researched, published and taught extensively on the subjects of migration, public health, gender, body and emotions, social inequality, suffering and well-being. I have been equally committed to science communication and public engagement activities, collaborating with medical practitioners, cultural institutions, NGOs, policy-makers and media outlets in Europe, Africa and Latin America.
After being awarded two FCT postdoc grants (2003–2008), I became a Senior Research Associate (2008–2013) at the Centre for Research in Anthropology (ISCTE-IUL), contracted under the ‘Commitment to Science 2007’ program. Since then, I have established myself as a leading researcher in the fields of medical anthropology, urban anthropology and ethnography-based art. I have sought to develop international networks and partnerships, coordinating 2 international projects (Leonardo da Vinci LLP; FCT-CAPES) and 3 national projects [FCT (2); High Commissioner for Immigration].
I am currently post-doc researcher at ICS (2013-2019) and in the last 5 years, I have coordinated as PI 4 ethnography-based art projects, funded by local governments and private foundations; the €10M Horizon 2020 project ROCK www.rockproject.eu; the FCT Project EXCEL www.excelproject.eu (starting in October 2018). Overall, in the last 10 years I have directly managed over 1.000.000€ of research funds.
I have been strongly committed to teaching since the beginning of my postdoctoral career. In 2001 I was granted “Cultore della materia ” in Social and Cultural Anthropology and from there I have chaired 2 PostGraduate Diplomas, 1 Vocational Training Diploma and served as full-time lecturer in 18 semester-long courses at leading universities in Italy, Portugal and Brazil. In 2013 I was granted the Italian National Scientific Habilitation for Associate Professor in Anthropology and, in 2014, I spent one year as Visiting Associate Professor at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. I have supervised 3 postdoctoral fellows, 14 PhD and 5 MA dissertations and the activities of 16 visiting students (CAPES; Leonardo da Vinci). I have also served as external examiner for 5 MA and 4 PhD dissertations in Portugal and Brazil.
I have organized several international conferences, convened panels at the major anthropological meetings, and I have been invited to speak as a keynote speaker and guest lecturer on 20 different occasions. I have written 2 books, 21 book chapters and 25 articles in peer-reviewed journals, scoring – in the last 5 years – an h-index of 9. I have also edited 5 books 1 is forthcoming), 7 special issues and 1 exhibition catalogue.

técnicos de saúde mental e pacientes imigrantes – a forma como os serviços institucionalizados
de saúde mental em Portugal dão resposta ao sofrimento e às necessidades da
população a que se destinam. Através destas entrevistas e de encontros com os pacientes,
tentou averiguar-se o funcionamento dos serviços de saúde mental “culturalmente competentes”,
bem como a percepção e a interpretação do fenómeno
por parte dos diferentes actores sociais envolvidos.
constant growth, although with significant differences in the individual Member States. The removal
of customs barriers and the admission of new countries in Europe have increased this
mobility. Migrants, asylum seekers and illegal immigrants are at high risk of poverty and social
exclusion and there is evidence that they sometimes do not receive the care that best responds
to their needs. The testing of a transcultural approach responds to the need of adapting health
care models to migrant and ethnic minority members: promoting skills that enable professionals
to meet the cultural and personal background of users in their care activities is essential, in order
to remove forms of exclusion, rejection or misunderstanding that frequently occur in these services,
when the users have a hard time orienting themselves in a system of signs, interpretations
and interventions that are too distant or disrespectful of their condition and culture.The T-Share project has defined several objectives aimed at developing transcultural skills for
health and care with particular attention to women’s health and mental health. In general,
T-SHaRE project aimed to improve models of healthcare that make them more friendly to users
from immigrant communities and ethnic minorities, by improving relations among healthcare
professionals, health cultural mediators immigrant communities and ethnic minorities, and
finally, by valuing different cultural approaches to health and care.
Additionally, T-SHaRE intended to develop methodologies and tools for the continuous learning
and the recognition of competences learned in a non-formal and informal settings both for
practitioners and for cultural mediators, which are part of T-SHaRE Guidelines.
These itineraries become ways of living the city, composing forms of creative appropriation of space, of tension with the new geographies of curing and suffering, of innovating re-creation of old urban maps. The Woundscapes exhibition intends to give the public the opportunity to experience different paths that reveal space-times of exclusion and integration, of distancing and participation, of denouncing and critique, of abandonment and freedom, of isolation and friendships.
The exhibition space is marked out by real or imaginary paths of experience in which there is a coming together and interaction of street urchins, youths from the suburbs, immigrants and institutions, services, therapists and professionals from the social services industry.

Considering emotions as a field, as a research method and as a privileged instrument of transmission of knowledge, this article also presents the research strategies related to the concept of resonance proposed by the Norwegian anthropologist Unni Wikan. Finally, it will put forward ideas and proposals for an anthropology that is able to touch your heart and to bridge beyond the obvious cultural differences.
Key-Words
Anthropology of emotions, death, mourning, research methodology, resonance, ethnography-based art, Guinea-Bissau, Africa.
Este artigo é dedicado à memória de Pedro Banca,
prezado amigo e interlocutor de rara sensibilidade antropológica.
Una concezione dell’emozione come intimamente connessa al mo- do in cui le persone interpretano o valutano ciò che accade secondo codici morali e riferimenti semantici locali, è stata proposta, a partire dalla seconda metà del XX secolo, da diversi autori, in differenti cam- pi del sapere. Ciò nonostante, per quanto in molti resoconti etnogra- fici si trovino riferimenti a stati emozionali, le emozioni sono state un oggetto di studio piuttosto trascurato dalla comunità antropologica.

The video, part of EBANOCollective’s exhibition at Ethnographic Terminalia 2013, alludes to the complexity of mobility and citizenship along all national borders specifically evoking, through an installation of devotional wax heads, the memory of the thousands of people that in the last decades disappeared in the Mediterranean sea attempting to reach the European southern border. | Production: EBANOCollective (ebanocollective.org); Director of Photography: Vitor Barros; Year: 2013; Link: https://vimeo.com/104005212
