PRIN 2022 PNRR - DEFART.IT

This project looks at processes related to the destruction and reconstruction of cultural heritage (CH) at risk, being premised on the assumption that the international protection of CH and its legal and political mechanisms represent relevant entry points to understand broader dynamics of world politics, such as: the changing forms of conflicts and political violence; the changing nature of international interventions and missions, as well as of multilateral instruments; the political use and misuse of transnational identities and collective memories; the relations between the military and the civilians as well as conservation professionals and humanitarian actors.

DEFART.IT looks at processes related to the destruction and reconstruction of cultural heritage (CH), and Italy's involvement in the multidimensional field of cultural heritage protection (CHP).
The project is premised on the assumption that the international protection of CH and its legal and political mechanisms represent relevant entry points to understand broader dynamics of world politics, such as: the changing forms of conflicts and political violence; the changing nature of international interventions and missions, as well as of multilateral instruments; the political use and misuse of transnational identities and collective memories; the relations between the military and the civilians as well as conservation professionals and humanitarian actors.

In other words, the project moves from the idea that the management of CH at risk, foreign policy-making, security concepts and practices are interconnected, at different latitudes, and for Italy in particular considering its endeavour to play a leading role at the international level. All in all, DEFART.IT looks at why and how CH is increasingly being considered by the international community a catalyst of societal resilience and intergovernmental cooperation, problematising this deep-seated narrative.
