Beskrivelse
Summary:In the current debate about cultural heritage, there are three main recognized directions through which public policy guides the criteria of valorization: the primacy of aesthetics and the multiplication of categories of goods; the identity meaning and the recovery of a unitary conception of cultural heritage; and finally, the commercial value of cultural heritage. This article presents a reflection, derived from a multiannual research process, arguing the importance of a fourth direction of cultural heritage that public policy should undertake and harmonize with the other three, that of the “heritageable”, that differs from rationally and numerically calculated quantities based on tourist flows or normative standardization. The “heritageable”, explored by collaborative artistic practices, acquires meaning mainly in-situ through participatory and co-elaborative processes. The research guided towards the construction of a complex axiological system, based on qualitative indicators and empirical data emerging through artistic practices, produce information essentially as statements of social and political subjectivities.
