Contents
The teaching is aimed to reflect about cultural heritage and about notions of tangible and intangible, by discussing methodological postures and interpretative models, starting from the history of the studies.
The concept of heritage will be approached from a socio-anthropological perspective, paying particular attention to the practices, poetics, rhetorics and policies of construction, of manipulation and re-semantization of time and space, local and global, public and private, history and imaginaries of history. Using the blended teaching methodology, recorded lessons concerning readings and textual insights will alternate. These will open up spaces for in-depth study and debates during the face-to-face lessons. The training path, which will also include seminars and meetings with important researchers, will close with the workshop “Tangible and intangible. Object-person relationship”

Learning verification modality
The exam consists of a final oral test that develops as a discussion-interview on the topics covered during the lessons and deepened on the recommended texts. The examination serves to ascertain the levels of knowledge, the ability to understand, as well as to synthesize and critical analyse the data. The interview will also allow to verify the ability to communicate what has been acquired, with method, language properties and clarity in exposing.
The exam focuses on the following aspects:
· Knowledge and understanding - Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: Summary
· Knowledge and understanding - Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: Detail
· Autonomy of judgment, understood as the ability to produce autonomous judgments, arriving at coherent reflections on social, scientific or ethical issues;
· Communication skills, conceived as the ability to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to other interlocutors;
· Learning ability, understood as the necessary skill to advance in studies with a high degree of autonomy
