Insights on Public Humanities
Abstract
This volume, which collects the proceedings of the international study day Intersec-
tions. New Perspectives for Public Humanities, aims at shedding light on the often
complicated and chaotic ‘texture’ of public humanities in order to foster a less mar-
ginal place for this field of study. The choice to focus the analysis on a selection of
case studies that includes history, cultural heritage, archaeology, and literature
leads to redesigning a profile whose main feature is to create bridges between spe-
cialised knowledge domains and large audiences and identifying methods and
models that can make humanistic knowledge ‘actionable’ in our society.
