This project has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no 612789
This research area aims to study the changes taking place in the management and transmission of CH, largely a consequence of the advent of the digital, in five different areas:
CH held by cultural institutions
CH represented in living media
Performance-based CH
CH linked with physical place
CH as knowledge and skills
Its main tasks are:
Task 1: context of change in which CH is held, preserved, curated and accessed: this task will research how digital practices are transforming the traditional CH practices of cultural institutions;
Task 2: mediated and unmediated heritage: this task will gain further understanding of the relationship between “living” or contemporary media and what is formally considered CH;
Task 3: context of change in which performance-based CH is made: this task will focus on Dance and Performance and the transformation of movement and body-based performance practices;
Task 4: transformation of physical spaces, places and territories: this task will explore how the transformations of physical places are impacting on the relationship among administrators, citizens, civil society and the economic sector and more specifically how digital communications are supporting dialogue and exchanges;
Task 5: transferring traditional knowledge to new productive contexts: this task investigates the new contexts in which traditional hand-making skills and knowledge can be successfully transferred into advanced manufacturing sectors, in the key industries of fashion and product design, through the use of digital technologies.
