Il laboratorio dal vivo. Partecipazione intensiva ed estensiva in BAT - Bottega Amletica Testoriana

Can We Still Understand Society? Understanding, Prediction, Critique

The contribution, entitled “The Live Laboratory. Intensive and Extensive Participation in BAT | Bottega Amletica Testoriana”, presents selected findings from the research project Cultural Welfare Ecosystems for Wellbeing: Mapping Semantics and Practices, Co-designing Tools, and Raising Awareness, funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and by NextGenerationEU, and coordinated by the University of Bologna (Principal Investigator: Roberta Paltrinieri). Within this framework, the local research unit of the University of Urbino Carlo Bo, under the scientific coordination of Laura Gemini, has developed an experimental line of inquiry focused on the relationship between digital technologies and participatory artistic practices. More specifically, the project investigates the role of instant messaging platforms—such as WhatsApp—as tools for qualitative research and as spaces for observation, reflection, and co-design within cultural welfare ecosystems, with particular attention to the pilot case of BAT | Bottega Amletica Testoriana.
