Biography
Grégory Delaplace is working in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Paris Ouest and a member of LESC since 2011. His research on the Mongolian world has led him to focus on subjects as diverse as relations with the dead , ghost detector horses, shamanism in Ulaanbaatar, forgetting techniques, the social uses of photography, Chinese ghosts, and the speech of the hiphop. He will also continue several projects in the coming years, which will enable him to conduct research on abandoned cities in Mongolia, insurance companies in Ulaanbaatar, and forgetting techniques.
