L’articolo ripercorre alcune scelte professionali che hanno orientato la direzione delle biblioteche negli ultimi cinquant’anni, soffermandosi sull’interpretazione del loro ruolo culturale, anche in ...rapporto con la progressiva penetrazione della cultura digitale. Le biblioteche, indipendentemente dalla loro tipologia funzionale, sono parte costitutiva dell’eredità culturale italiana: è perciò essenziale trovare una sintesi tra la natura di ‘patrimonio culturale’, la funzione informativa e quella sociale. Oggi le biblioteche sono nella posizione più favorevole per tessere relazioni fra persone, istituzioni, contenuti e mezzi e la professione del bibliotecario può individuare proprio nel contesto attuale una ragione forte di rimotivazione, ponendosi al servizio di un rilancio civile e culturale dell’intero Paese. Si tratta di dare alle biblioteche come luoghi d’incontro e di inclusività un maggiore contenuto di conoscenza e di orientamento, un’impronta più culturale intesa non come alternativa ma come parte integrante di un già riconosciuto ruolo sociale. Allargando il loro raggio d’azione le biblioteche restano hub di comunità ma hub culturali e informativi capaci di svolgere una rinnovata funzione connettiva e partecipativa.
This collection provides an in-depth and up-to-date examination of the concept of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the issues surrounding its value to society. Critically engaging with the UNESCO ...2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage , the book also discusses local-level conceptualizations of living cultural traditions, practices and expressions, and reflects on the efforts that seek to safeguard them. Exploring a global range of case studies, the book considers the diverse perspectives currently involved with intangible cultural heritage and presents a rich picture of the geographic, socioeconomic and political contexts impacting research in this area. With contributions from established and emerging scholars, public servants, professionals, students and community members, this volume is also deeply enhanced by an interdisciplinary approach which draws on the theories and practices of heritage and museum studies, anthropology, folklore studies, ethnomusicology, and the study of cultural policy and related law. The Routledge Companion to Intangible Cultural Heritage undoubtedly broadens the international heritage discourse and is an invaluable learning tool for instructors, students and practitioners in the field.

"It is a most welcome addition to literature, and a must-have for all who want to deepen their understanding of the scholarly research into and safeguarding practice of Intangible Cultural Heritage. (...) With the publication of this Routledge Companion, Intangible Cultural Heritage has certainly reached a new level of scholarly recognition. And that is a very good thing."
- Steven Engelsman, Director, Weltmuseum Wien, Austria "The Routledge Companion to Intangible Cultural Heritgae provides asnapshop- or rather, a whole picture album- of the evolution of a profoundly important cultural policiy and paradigm... The editors have assembled here a massive and varied set of essays- 38 individual chapters written by 54 authors, including anthropologists, folklorists, legals scholars, museum professionals, ethomusicologists, and community members." - Michael Dylan Foster, University of California, USA

The conservation risks associated with climate change to which heritage is subjected represent one of the most significant issues arising from the adoption of the 1972 World Heritage Convention. The ...Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of World Heritage Listed sites and the conditions of integrity and authenticity, which were essential requirements at the time of their nomination and inscription, may be compromised or no longer be met over time as a result of the effects of climate action on heritage assets. While the value of sustainability has assumed a predominant role in the multiple social, cultural, economic and environmental contexts and is in affinity with many of the theoretical premises within the discipline of restoration, this study aims to reflect on some of the systemic principles and parameters through which a restoration product can be defined as sustainable, considering the material authenticity and uniqueness of World Heritage architectural artefacts, and the spatial-temporal implications related to the conservation of cultural heritage.
LIPU is a non-profit association founded in the 1960s committed to the conservation of nature, the protection of biodiversity and the promotion of ecological culture in Italy. This paper traces the ...events that marked its history, investigating the aims, initiatives and results achieved. A specific case study is then addressed, that of the Centro Habitat Mediterraneo in Ostia, which is a virtuous example of the recovery and enhancement of a previously abandoned area, now transformed into a place where environment and culture interact in a particularly dynamic reality with marked connotations of social inclusiveness.
Il tema dello spopolamento delle aree interne e delle strategie per il loro rilancio è da qualche tempo tornato alla ribalta a seguito della pandemia e del conseguente periodo di quarantena che, tra ...le altre cose, ha messo a nudo le numerose fragilità dei grandi centri urbani. Dopo decenni di appelli inascoltati, all’improvviso sembra si sia scoperto quanto piacevole e sostenibile possa essere vivere nei piccoli centri delle aree interne e si ripropone, forse con più forza, una questione che era già al centro di alcune strategie e azioni sia a scala nazionale che europea. Ripercorrendo temi e problemi emersi nel corso del convegno internazionale “Un paese ci vuole”. Studi e prospettive per i centri abbandonati e in via di spopolamento, tenutosi a Reggio Calabria nel novembre del 2018, il saggio propone una riflessione sulle reali prospettive di ripopolamento di piccoli centri in aree marginali partendo da alcune parole chiave che dovrebbero auspicabilmente guidare i programmi di rinascita. Al centro della riflessione si pone il ruolo che il patrimonio culturale può avere in questi processi, nella prospettiva però di un significativo cambio di paradigma che inserisce la conservazione e valorizzazione di tali beni in un processo circolare che parte dal territorio (inteso come un sistema complesso dove processi storici, culturali ed economici si intrecciano con le pratiche sociali) e al territorio ritorna. Strategies and Policies for Relaunching Depopulated Small Towns in Inner Areas. A Human Scale Perspective The topic of abandonment has become more topical than ever in the last few months due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Since March 2020, newspapers and blogs have been dedicating at least one article or editorial per day to the incredible rediscovery of how sustainable and liveable lockdown has been in hamlets and small towns in inner areas rather than in big cities. Thus, it seems that after years of unheard appeals from small local communities at risk of disappearing, rather than being a problem, small towns are now becoming important resources. Starting from the topics and issues proposed during the International Conference One needs a town. Studies and perspectives for abandoned or depopulated small towns, held in Reggio Calabria in 2018, the essay focuses on the concrete perspectives for the repopulation of small towns in inner areas. The perspective, which recalls the approach of the Conference, implies a more dynamic idea of repopulation, which involves the economic and social regeneration of these territories. Moreover, the purpose is also to verify if and how the enhancement of cultural heritage might play a significant role in hindering depopulation. In other words, the aim is to reflects on how culture may play a part within the broader economic and social strategies for the repopulation of marginal areas, including cultural heritage, which is the focus of the essay.
L’articolo affronta il tema del semantic web e della pubblicazione delle informazioni relative al patrimonio culturale in modalità linked open data. In particolare, oggetto dell’analisi sono i ...registri di ontologie, vale a dire quegli strumenti che descrivono formalmente i modelli ontologici disponibili sul web e ne agevolano il reperimento e la valutazione, incentivandone il riuso e facilitando i processi di allineamento semantico e di interoperabilità. I registri di ontologie rispondono in modo efficace all’assenza di strumenti di riferimento e di orientamento nei processi di modellazione concettuale delle risorse informative e sono stati sperimentati con successo in diversi domini, ma sono ancora inediti in ambito culturale. L’esame delle iniziative condotte nell’ultimo decennio nell’ambito dei beni culturali ha evidenziato con chiarezza la mancanza di un assetto epistemologico consolidato nella modellazione concettuale delle risorse informative, a fronte delle numerose ontologie realizzate in funzione dei molteplici progetti di pubblicazione di linked open data. Di conseguenza, risulta tutt’altro che agevole conoscere esaustivamente tutte le ontologie disponibili in relazione al proprio ambito di interesse ed ottenere in maniera agevole e sistematica una valutazione attendibile circa la loro capacità rappresentativa e il loro grado di interoperabilità semantica. L’analisi dei principali registri di ontologie finora realizzati al di fuori del dominio dei beni culturali ha consentito di individuare e definire i requisiti di un registro di ontologie per i beni culturali, e di elaborarne la relativa ontologia. L’esplicitazione dei requisiti ha tenuto conto anche di una peculiare funzione che i registri potrebbero svolgere nel dominio culturale, come strumenti a supporto di alcune funzionalità di una digital library del patrimonio culturale.
The research deepens the role of new technologies in the construction of geographical imaginaries investigating the dimension of the offer related to the cultural heritage of the city of Palermo. The ...study was conducted using qualitative methods and provided for the application of two research techniques: participant observation and semi-structured interviews. By interpreting the results produced, the contribution aims to highlight the predominance of an urban image, linked to the UNESCO inclusion of the site in the World Heritage List, which is conveyed through new technologies. Developing a reflection on the alternative capacity of new media to dislocate and challenge shared images, the study will also examine the role of technologies in the production of imaginative counter-geographies.

Nel quadro dei ...processi economici di scala globale legati al turismo culturale, si esaminano le relazioni tra le forme di immaginazione storiografica veicolate da questi prodotti, le retoriche identitarie del campo politico-intellettuale e le politiche del patrimonio promosse dagli enti locali.
Il progetto Ar.A.R. è la sperimentazione di un processo partecipativo di valorizzazione del sito preistorico di Su Coddu che ha messo al centro un percorso educativo strutturato sull’acquisizione di ...nuove competenze da parte dei partecipanti della scuola secondaria di primo grado di Su Planu, Selargius. Gli studenti hanno interpretato il patrimonio culturale oggetto di studio proponendo una ricostruzione 3D dell’abitato capannicolo preistorico. Il loro lavoro è stato condiviso con la cittadinanza durante la manifestazione di valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale denominata “Monumenti Aperti Selargius 2019”.
