Obiettivi formativi
The course will investigate politics that lead to the selection of what is considered as valuable to be preserved from the past – both tangible and intangible – and thus to understand processes that in recent times brought to the construction of an idea of ‘universal world heritage’. Classes will also focus on the role of institutional actors, either international (like Unesco), or national, or local that influence the selection and standardisation of heritage items, as well as the socio-economic and cultural implications that come along with heritage politics.

Risultati dell'apprendimento attesi
Students will acquire methodological and analytical tools to critically investigate processes that underlie the production of heritage. A comprehensive approach is necessary for understanding heritage not only through the lens of conservation issues, but also as something that conveys collective representations of the past. Students will learn how to read through the lines of public discourses about heritage, authenticity, universality and look at their implications in terms of memory/forgetting, identity and nationalism, re-production as well as commodification of history.

Modalità di insegnamento
The course will combine class lectures and seminars where students will read and discuss selected articles.
Each one of the six weeks will be dedicated to a specific sub-theme: the first two days of the week (Monday and Tuesday) will be dedicated to classroom lectures, while in the third day (Wednesday) the floor is left to the students for discussion on a specific paper. A reading list of six papers will be provided to the students during the first week of the course.
