Descrizione

The essay focuses on local knowledge as an antidote to the crisis of social cohesion in areas which are experiencing a strong demographic decline. After critically reviewing the concept of local knowledge, the paper analyses the role of individual and collective social actors – including the role of political institutions – in promoting and supporting forms of development and social solidarity starting with the various skills related to local embedded knowledge. In this perspective, some results of a recent empirical research are presented in problematic terms. The study was carried out in an area in the north of Sardinia which is affected by a considerable depopulation process and it was mainly realized by using non-standard techniques. The research highlights a substancial presence of tangible and intangible resources as well as of experience-based knowledge. Whenever a strategic role has been assigned to these elements, virtuous development processes plus interesting and originals practices of social cohesion can be detected.
