Public History as Catalyst for Participation and Social Revitalisation: The Case of Vallette Estate in Turin
This paper describes the Public History activities carried out by the Historical Documentation Centre of Turins’s 5th Borough (CDS) in Vallette, a stigmatised council estate in Turin. The Centre, which is a Council organisation made of voluntary researchers mostly resident in the area, has been working in the estate since 2008. Their activities, which aim to “rediscover” Vallette’s history, are based on Public History, intended as platform for historical democratisation. The key idea is the “sharing authority” which allows the local community, not just professional historians, to produce its own historical knowledge. As we will show, Public History could be used not only as powerful tool to tackle negative narratives endured by the estate, but also as a catalyst to promote stronger resident participation and activism in a wider project of urban regeneration and social revitalisation.
