FUNDAMENTALS OF CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE I

The course aims to deal with the issues related to the conservation and protection of the intangible cultural heritage, following the events of the history of the performing arts in the widest possible meaning. The nature of the performing arts requires specific knowledges and skills for the study of materials and archive documents.
The object of analysis is represented by methods, examples, historic contexts and traditions, territories and spaces, perspectives and problems, technical solutions, contingencies and events which linked theatres, archives, libraries, study centers, theatre companies, collectors and artists involved in the realization of a show and afterward in the collection of documents and creation of exhibitions or museums dedicated to the performing arts.

The student will be expected to know the study metodology of the subject in the western culture.
Learning of the subject will lead the student to distinguish the different types of the conservation and protection of the intangible cultural heritage following the events of the history of the performing arts in the widest possible meaning.
Furthermore it is expected by the student the mastery of a specific vocabulary required to describe the modern and contemporary performing arts with the essential iconographic material and afterward in the collection of documents and creation of exhibitions or museums dedicated to the performing arts.

There are no prerequisite requirements

The approach to the methodological study is complex. During the course, after an introduction on the general concepts and terminology, different readings of the objects taken into consideration will be offered giving instruments for analysis and international examples along with critical thoughts.
It is a wide and varied territory to be explored not yet known whose profound suggestion is related to the need to enhance and transmit the knowledge of the performing arts as an essential part of our cultural heritage.
