Partecipazione, mediazione e conoscenza: Àndalas de Cultura quale ecosistema digitale del patrimonio culturale della Sardegna

The contribution examines the Àndalas de Cultura project as a case study to reflect on the role that public digital infrastructures can play in heritage mediation processes and in the shared construction of knowledge. Situated within the broader national and European context of digital policy renewal, the case is interpreted as part of a gradual shift beyond emergency-driven and technocentric approaches. Àndalas is approached as an observational laboratory through which to investigate how practices of aggregation, interoperability and reuse of digital content, together with participatory methodologies — from co-creation to capacity building — concretely shape access to heritage, knowledge production, and the relationships between cultural institutions and communities in a polycentric, insular context. From this perspective, the infrastructure emerges not simply as a system for accessing content, but as a space in which heritage takes shape through practices of use, interpretation and participation.
