'History is a common good' [1]
The Italian Association of Public History (AIPH) announces the 4th National
Public History Conference at the Museum M9 for the history of Italy in the
20th century in Mestre, from the 29th of May 2020 to the 2nd June 2020. The
conference will be inaugurated at the Department of Humanities, Caâ Foscari
University of Venice, on Friday 29th of May 2020.
The 4th AIPH conference - during which the Plenary Assembly of the
Association will also be held on Monday 1st of June 2020 - will continue
the work begun in Ravenna in June 2017, in Pisa in June 2018 and in Santa
Maria Capua Vetere in June 2019, in order to discuss Italian and
international experiences and practices and the many challenges of Public
History.
In line with the Italian Public History Manifesto
(https://aiph.hypotheses.org/8512), approved after our association's meeting
in Pisa in June 2018, AIPH intends to contribute to the affirmation of a
greater awareness of the value of historical knowledge, an essential
resource for understanding the present, planning of the future and
exercising full citizenship.
The 4th AIPH National Conference of Venice-Mestre will create new
opportunities for discussion and reflection between those who work with the
past. The conference will examine ways in which history is present in
society today, from universities to public places, in schools and learning
institutions, in high and in popular culture and, finally, in the daily
life of our communities. The invitation to participate aims at those who
work in the public history sphere and with various professions aiming at
the production of historical and educational content.
Proposals are invited for many fields:
- Exhibitions and museums of history and, more precisely,
-- Memorials in exhibition environments and memorial museums,
-- Public memories and national identity practices in museum exhibits,
-- Design of exhibitions with a historical theme
-- Museum storytelling
-- Use of photography in history museums
- Public history for the enhancement of the material and immaterial
historical heritage
- Oral history in public history projects
- Gender History and Public History
- Public History in schools and universities
- Digital Humanities, Digital History, Digital public history
- Games and Video Games of History
- Civil rituals, celebrations, commemorations, sites of memory
- Italy and the mafias: history, memories and communities in the context of
organized crime
- June 2: History and Memories of the Republic
HOW TO APPLY
Two types of original proposals (not already accepted for previous AIPH
meetings) can be submitted:
- Individual papers, which will be integrated into panels by the Scientific
Committee for AIPH2020. Each proposal must contain a summary in Italian and
English (ca. 2000 characters each) and a short C.V. with address and email
of the proponent.
- Panels with 3 or 4 participants with a coordinator among them (or in
addition). Each proposal must contain an abstract (ca. 1500-2000
characters) in Italian and English, which describes the general theme of
the panel and an abstract for each single paper in the panel in both
languages (about 1500-2000 characters). A short C.V. of each panel
participant and the address and email of the coordinator and of all
panellists, must also be included. Same institution's panels are not
recommended. Comparison of experiences and diversified geographical and
professional origins will constitute positive elements for the evaluation.
Proposals must be received by the 20th of December 2019 at the address
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiph2020
For further information you should write to the secretariat of the
Association: segreteria@aiph.it
The expected duration for each panel is 90 minutes. At least 20 minutes are
dedicated to discussion with the public.
The first draft of the programme will be public by March 2, 2020.
On 10 January 2020, the following will also be published:
- a call for Poster in which students, cultural and social associations,
companies, individual professionals and other public and private entities
and bodies working in the different areas of Public History, can make their
initiatives and products known and promoted.
- a call for Awards, which aims to select the best Public History projects
carried out in the period from January 2019 to March 2020.
- a call for Pitch of projects still to be carried out with an exposure of
a maximum duration of 8 minutes (with any type of media)
Instructions for how to present these types of conference contributions
