Terms such as sustainability, social justice, collaborative knowledge construction, and a new vision of cultural heritage are now required reference points for those with a role in education and participation surrounding cultural and landscape heritage. This applies to both formal and informal contexts. This paper examines the initial outcomes of the doctoral program in Intangible Heritage in Sociocultural Innovation, offered by the University of Milan-Bicocca. Since its inception, a key feature of this PhD programme – which was initially developed in collaboration with the Universities of Perugia and Basilicata on the strength of the investment programme provided for under the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) – has been active and meaningful engagement with local organizations, especially museums, local authorities, and cultural heritage sites. This has fostered ideas for new research endeavours based on inclusion, sustainability, an emphasis on heritage promotion, active participation, and the right to interpretation. The doctoral program has also been characterized by a strong emphasis on artistic languages, in terms of a wide range of interdisciplinary resources. This has been accompanied by inquiry into the practical workings of these languages and how they may be applied to document and conduct research. To date, artistic languages have played an invaluable part in mapping requirements and in implementing field research and cultural heritage actions. In this regard, the guidelines formulated by UNESCO concerning intangible heritage bear considerable importance. Notably, the inevitable comparison with tangible heritage has become significantly more nuanced and enriched by multiple new perspectives. According to the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, "‘intangible cultural heritage’ means the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills – as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated therewith – that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage (UNESCO Convention, Art.2). The research that is ongoing under the PhD programme is focused on individual, collective, and public memories of heritage, as well as on existing and developing artistic and crafts practices. It also explores community engagement and methods of sharing research outcomes. This paper highlights preliminary findings from the ongoing doctoral research projects, particularly from the vantage point of artistic languages.
Parole come sostenibilità, giustizia sociale, costruzione condivisa delle conoscenze, nuova visione del patrimonio culturale sono alcuni tra i riferimenti ormai ritenuti fondamentali per chi si occupa di educazione e partecipazione legate ai beni culturali e paesaggistici, in ambiti più prettamente formali o informali. Il presente contributo riflette sui primi risultati legati all’istituzione del corso di dottorato in Patrimonio immateriale nell’innovazione socioculturale, istituito presso l’Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca. In questo dottorato fin dalla sua progettazione, inizialmente in convenzione con le Università di Perugia e della Basilicata, in forza degli investimenti previsti dal Pnrr, si è aperto un dialogo stringente con gli enti del territorio, intendendo con questi: musei, istituzioni, presidi culturali. Questo ha portato alla formulazione di ipotesi di nuove ricerche in cui l’inclusione, la sostenibilità, l’attenzione alla valorizzazione, alla partecipazione, al diritto all’interpretazione sono risultati passaggi fondamentali. In questo dottorato uno spazio necessario è stato quello dedicato ai linguaggi artistici, intendendo con questi un’ampia panoramica di possibilità interdisciplinari, oltre alla riflessione relativa alle loro modalità operative e al loro uso per documentare e realizzare le ricerche stesse. Questi linguaggi sono risultati imprescindibili sia nella mappatura delle esigenze, sia nella ricerca sul campo, sia nelle azioni compiute. Da questo punto di vista è diventato estremamente significativo il riferimento alle indicazioni che Unesco ha stilato nei confronti del patrimonio immateriale. In questa declinazione anche il confronto con patrimoni materiali, inevitabilmente presenti, è diventato molto più articolato e ricco di nuove prospettive. Come è scritto nella Convenzione Unesco “per “patrimonio culturale immateriale” s’intendono le prassi, le rappresentazioni, le espressioni, le conoscenze, il know-how – come pure gli strumenti, gli oggetti, i manufatti e gli spazi culturali associati agli stessi – che le comunità, i gruppi e in alcuni casi gli individui riconoscono in quanto parte del loro patrimonio culturale.” (Convenzione Unesco, p.2) Il lavoro di ricerca sulle memorie individuali, collettive e pubbliche, sulle pratiche artigianali e artistiche realizzate e in via di progettazione, sul coinvolgimento delle collettività, sulle modalità stesse di condivisione dei risultati sono diventati alcuni dei punti di attenzione di questo percorso ancora in divenire. Nella presentazione si mostreranno i primi esiti delle riflessioni compiute nel dottorato, tenendo come punto di osservazione privilegiato quello legato ai linguaggi artistici.

Abstract
Terms such as sustainability, social justice, collaborative knowledge construction, and a new vision of cultural heritage are now required reference points for those with a role in education and participation surrounding cultural and landscape heritage. This applies to both formal and informal contexts. This paper examines the initial outcomes of the doctoral program in Intangible Heritage in Sociocultural Innovation, offered by the University of Milan-Bicocca. Since its inception, a key feature of this PhD programme – which was initially developed in collaboration with the Universities of Perugia and Basilicata on the strength of the investment programme provided for under the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) – has been active and meaningful engagement with local organizations, especially museums, local authorities, and cultural heritage sites. This has fostered ideas for new research endeavours based on inclusion, sustainability, an emphasis on heritage promotion, active participation, and the right to interpretation. The doctoral program has also been characterized by a strong emphasis on artistic languages, in terms of a wide range of interdisciplinary resources. This has been accompanied by inquiry into the practical workings of these languages and how they may be applied to document and conduct research. To date, artistic languages have played an invaluable part in mapping requirements and in implementing field research and cultural heritage actions. In this regard, the guidelines formulated by UNESCO concerning intangible heritage bear considerable importance. Notably, the inevitable comparison with tangible heritage has become significantly more nuanced and enriched by multiple new perspectives. According to the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, "‘intangible cultural heritage’ means the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills – as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated therewith – that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage (UNESCO Convention, Art.2). The research that is ongoing under the PhD programme is focused on individual, collective, and public memories of heritage, as well as on existing and developing artistic and crafts practices. It also explores community engagement and methods of sharing research outcomes. This paper highlights preliminary findings from the ongoing doctoral research projects, particularly from the vantage point of artistic languages.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
