Tramontana – 2nd International Forum: Cultural Heritage from European Mountains
Research, Management and Diffusion for Rural Territories Development
Campania | Abruzzo (Italy)
24 – 30 September, 2012
Binaural/Nodar began on 1 May 2012 the participation in the European project Tramontana, a network of sound and video archives of mountain areas of Romance language. The project is funded by the EU Culture Programme 2007-2013 and has the participation of organizations from Portugal, France and Italy, specialists in various fields, ethnomusicology, soundscapes, visual anthropology, ethno-linguistic and ethno-choreology.
Within the context of the project Tramontana, Binaural/Nodar is currently developing the Memory Archive of the Valleys of Paiva and Vouga, presently on a field work phase of a variety of aspects from the local culture, which will be added to documentation collected by the organization since 2006. It is expected that in April 2013 this archive will be presented to the public which will feature more than 500 cataloged and transcribed entries.
In this second Tramontana forum, Luís Costa, President of Binaural/Nodar will present two papers and an original sound piece:
“The economy of Intangible Cultural Heritage: A system (almost always) far from being fair to the documented communities. Somo ideas for the restitution of benefits”
“Cultural documentation in the valleys of Paiva and Vouga: Thinking, recreating and disseminating by adapting speech and media to different types of audiences”
