“Subordinate” Heritage, Mappings, and Ethnographic Insights in Jovençan, Aosta Valley
Authors: Daniela Salvucci e Tobias Boos
Abstract: The article explores the research residency carried out in Jovençan, Valle d'Aosta. The authors link this experience to Alberto Mario Cirese's theory of “subaltern cultures,” reflecting on how local communities claim and value their cultural experiences. The text also discusses methodologies such as “deep mapping” and “thin ethnography,” highlighting the collaboration between researchers and residents to create a participatory community heritage, with a focus on peripheral areas and the rediscovery of the memory of marginalization.
