LIVING MEMORY
RESEARCH - THE ROLE OF MEMORY IN COMMUNITIES

 

For the living memory project we've done a research that aims at understanding the role of memory in communities.
The approach is socio-cultural, and our basic assumption is that:
. Community needs memory to exist.
. Connected involves communication and shared information.

The process of this study consists of two main parts:

Part 1 is a series of expert interviews with "Thinkers": experts who form ideas about the sociocultural impact of new technologies on communities/society. These interviews are published and the book exist in Italian, French and Portuguese.

Part 2 using the results of the thinkers' interviews analysis as starting point, we interviewed some "Actors", experts who run or are involved in wired cities, BBS's, networked communities.
These interviews are on line.
