Learning objectives
The approval of the UNESCO Convention on intangible cultural heritage (2003) has led to a broadening of the understanding of cultural heritage. The primary objective of the course is to bring an anthropological perspective to aspects of the material and intangible heritage of communities and their contexts. Through various teaching methods (lectures, discussions, meetings with experts), that favor the seminar-type approach, the course aims to bring students to a critical understanding of some of the themes and concepts of the discipline so as to approach with a relativistic gaze the different practices and productions of human societies and reflect on how historically the ‘others’ were built and narrated (first part) and how these representations have influenced – and continue to do so – the perception of their material and intangible heritage inside and outside museums (monographic part). Students are expected to actively participate in class discussions and to engage in a personal research project. At the end of the course the student is expected to: 1. have acquired knowledge of the categories and language used in anthropology to investigate patrimonial processes related to tangible and intangible assets; 2. be capable of making use of the acquired tools to critically approach such processes.
Prerequisites and basic notions
some knowledge of key concepts of cultural Anthropology
Program
The course is divided into two parts. Initially, some theoretical and methodological themes of the discipline will be addressed and then the status of ethnographic objects, outside and inside the museum institution, will be addressed. First part: belongings, borders, gaze, relativism and universalism, indigenous ontologies, fieldwork and its ethical implications. Second part: the social and cultural biography of objects. People-things relationships. The circularity of objects, the creation of social bonds. How ethnographic collections were formed in European museums. The change of gaze and posture. The decolonial practices underway in some European museum institutions. Whose memories and stories are on display in contemporary museums? What is the point of view through which they are told? How can the museum move in a cross-cultural perspective? The requests for restitution made by groups demanding the return home of objects stolen from their ancestors.

The oral exam - through some questions on the scheduled texts and on the thematic aspects covered in them - aims to verify:
- depth and breadth of the knowledge acquired;
-language skills;
-critical and argumentative ability
Erasmus and international students may take the final oral exam in English or French. If interested, they need to discuss the choice of (eventually) new reading materials with me during Office hours.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.
