About us
The Heriscope is the intersection of the Heritage on the Margins multidisciplinary research group, which offers a view of heritage beyond the obvious, around corners and over obstacles. It brings reflections and materials about heritage and heritage-making, that is to say, the processes and practices of selecting and evaluating the past to calibrate the present and future. The focus of observation is on heritage formation and the performative influence of heritage on the margins – in minority, remote, linguistic, migrant, occupational and otherwise marginalized settings, and we are interested in the circumstances and conditions that encourage and enable something to be recognized as heritage. In addition to observing such heritage as is recognised by authorized heritage institutions, we also aim to enquire into heritage diglossia and the possibilities of undisciplined heritage. In doing so, the view is not directed at the question of what heritage is, but rather, at what heritage does. This kind of dissemination of heritage processes has no objective, only direction – the drawing of maps and highlighting the extent of labyrinthine heritage.

Trans-making – Art / culture / economy to democratize society. Research in placemaking for alternative narratives (2017–2020)
Collaborators: Martina Bofulin
The project trans-making aims to establish a multilateral network of research and innovation staff active in the fields of placemaking/place-based art activities as a space to create alternative narratives for social, economic and democratic renewal. It will investigate and experiment with placemaking to contribute actively to the democratization/well-being of society, educating and empowering individuals and disadvantaged minorities through research and production along the connection between art and new technologies.
The objective is to strengthen research capacities through exchange of knowledge and expertise between academic and non-academic partners from Europe and Third Countries in a shared research program focused on: collecting, documenting / exploring, experimenting / performing / designing. Through this research and innovation work programme, the consortium, academic and non-academics partners, aims to enhance links between art and culture, economy, democracy and innovation at EU level and beyond and foster entrepreneurial skills, risk-taking adaptability, innovation capacity (economic, social and democratic). It will actively contribute to education and empowerment of individuals and disadvantaged minorities through research and production, art and new technologies.
Utilising existing networks of the involved partners, the project will foster a better understanding and knowledge sharing between scientific community, stakeholders and policy-makers.
The project was financed by the European Commission (H2020-MSCA-RISE-2016).
