Recovering Past Stories for the Future: A Synergistic Approach to Textual and Oral Heritage of Small Communities

Description du projet

Révéler les récits cachés pour faire revivre les racines culturelles

Le projet RESTORY, financé par l’UE, vise à faire revivre les traditions oubliées et à rétablir le lien entre les communautés et leur passé, en se penchant sur les histoires inédites des petites communautés. S’écartant de l’approche conventionnelle du patrimoine monumental, le projet met en synergie les récits textuels et oraux pour mettre en lumière les trésors culturels oubliés d’antan. En explorant l’action collective par le biais de textes et d’entretiens, le projet met en lumière les pratiques durables en matière d’éducation, de recyclage et de communication basée sur l’affectivité. Ciblant spécifiquement le patrimoine saxon de Transylvanie, RESTORY combine des études de cas hybrides sur le plan méthodologique et des collaborations internationales. Au-delà du monde universitaire, le projet invite les professionnels de la culture à des sessions de formation, favorisant ainsi le rapprochement entre la sagesse historique et les besoins contemporains en matière de développement durable.

Objectif

The project builds synergistically upon textual and oral stories to explore the past of small communities, with the goal of restoring the public’s emotional connection to discontinued traditions. In doing so, it pays greater attention to segments of cultural heritage that have long been overshadowed by monuments or sites of larger significance. Texts and interviews encapsulate expressions of collective agency, allowing current-day SSH academics to investigate those natural processes that gave prominence to the effective management of limited supplies of human and material resources. With a focus on schooling, recycling practices, and affective-based communication of group agents, RESTORY intends to investigate the formation of sustainable attitudes and strategies, learn from the lessons of the past, and integrate them into the future configuration of commitments. Ultimately, emulating the resource maximization frameworks intuitively designed by small-scale communities over a long period of time will allow the transfer of know-how from academia to local memory institutions, stakeholders, and citizens, contributing to the sustainable development of the continuously transformative heritage contexts. The research aspects of the project will consist of methodologically-hybrid case studies, targeting the textual and oral heritage of the communities inhabited in the past by Transylvanian Saxons, a group of German-speaking colonists settled about 800 years ago in nowadays Romania, in conjunction with 10 international case studies, all offering a wider range of expertise and accumulation of knowledge within the research target. RESTORY also presents the opportunity to attract cultural professionals from archives, museums, and libraries to training sessions designed to enhance the correct and comprehensive management, conservation, and capitalization of cultural heritage, all in relation to the needs of the wider public and administrative decision-makers at a local level.
