Title: En Primera Persona. Memòria oral, patrimoni immaterial i Internet (2009)

The book arises out of an interest in analysing the relationship that is established between three apparently diverse spheres of knowledge: autobiographical oral memory, non-material heritage and the Internet. It starts out from a prior study on the use of the Internet for salvaging the historical memory of the Spanish Civil War, lying within the research areas of the Museia group (www.museia.cat) for the study of Arts and Humanities of the Open University of Catalonia. Following on from that, if we look at the matter in greater depth and deal with the subject of the potential the information and communication technologies offer us in that relationship, the panorama becomes clearer still, given that the Anglo-Saxon world is the only one that has, for a few years now, been specifically examining that link.

És un estudi que, més enllà del text, proposa la contemplació d'unes xilografies gravades per uns artistes anònims camerunesos que eren emprades per un joc d'atzar i que han entrat a formar part del patrimoni cultural d'aquest poble. El lector descobrirà alguns aspectes de l'estil d'aquestes petites obres d'art, que el cubisme va fer seus, però que aquests artistes ja havien aplicat. Lluís Mallart ens proposa unes peces per copsar-ne l'explicació, admirar-ne la bellesa i el valor patrimonial i fer-nos veure com, unint la imatge i la paraula, aquests pobles de l'Àfrica Central havien creat una mena d'enciclopèdia audio-visual sobre les coses d'aquest món.

At the dawn of the century, museums of society seem to be reborn, with projects that are generating a new museum scene. The new vision, inspired by the Canadian model, is an interdisciplinary perspective on societies in which the same concepts "society" or "civilization" print a new discourse that aims to reflect the museum on the major challenges facing society today, such as multiculturalism, identities or the complexity of today's world. This book reveals some of society's most prestigious museums in the world and analyze the major issues they face.

To be or not to be of the sea, that's the question. Often it has been said that the Catalans were living back to the sea, although the sea framed their history and their horizon. This is the paradox from which the research collected in this book begin, and where a maritime Catalan identity is studied, taking Arenys de Mar as a case study. The book study the relationship of people of Arenys with the sea, analyzing how the sea port of refuge, built in 1911 following a dramatic sea storm, impacted on their imagination and transformed the local life and society.

The new paradigm suggests that museums are no long necessarily perceived as part of the plot, albeit an unconscious one. They can apparently be part of the solution, can be on our side, if by ‘our side’ we mean thoughtful individuals or groups with open minds, uninfluenced by manipulated private interests and conversant with the context.

The obsessions of the past, in short, are not limited to traumatic events and their often symptomatic and pathological effects. As critics of the culture industry might say, any past can be used, turned into merchandise, distorted, commercialised, remodelled, shifted, accused, made to stand trial, judged, and then neglected. But as sociology and psychology have shown, even the discourse of forgetting still contains remnants and residues from the past.

This conference wants to present the administrative dimension of Machu Picchu and its continuity and change over recent decades. We want to untangle the complicated situation that is managing a site that is highly visible, highly profitable from the economic point of view, highly debated at the crossroads of multiple and often conflicting interests converged.

The Machu Picchu is a particularly instructive case in the whole debate about the relationship between the historical and heritage museums and their commercial exploitation, often required by the application of criteria silimilars administrative entities.
