Umanesimo Digitale e Bene Comune? Linee guida e riflessioni per una salvezza possibile Digital humanities and Commons: guidelines and recflections for a possible salvation

The pandemic crisis dramatically highlighted the fragility of culture and, in particular, of our tangible and intangible, artistic and historical heritage. A fragility determined substantially by the absence of relations, of which the heritage lives on in the historical succession of the societies that preserve and share it. In the days of Covid, when all museums, archaeological sites and places of culture were closed, there was an urgent need to reflect on how to keep these relationships alive, through digital technologies. The article outlines theoretical and methodological reflections for a manifesto of good operative and scientific practices, starting from several experiences conducted in the field of Digital Humanities. The four closely connected steps on which to leverage for a conscious and sustainable digital supply chain are explained: scientific digitization, new forms of virtual interaction, measurement of public acceptance, training of new skills.
