The Seminar on Community Practices and Public History, promoted by Lab2PT, held in January 2022 and aimed at researchers and undergraduate and graduate students, brought together 22 actors with work trajectories marked by multidisciplinary intersection in the fields of humanities, social sciences, education sciences, arts, and architecture. The meeting stemmed from three central questions: i) what are the limits of interdisciplinary work in the social sciences?; ii) what challenges and potentialities exist in multidisciplinary practices?; iii) what paths and potentialities are offered to community practices and public history? The structuring axis of the seminar was embodied in a question: is it possible to overcome the barriers between categories defined by concepts such as knowledge, science, experience, meaning (sensory, bodily, aesthetic)? How to work with identities, memories, and pasts that are sometimes dialogical and sometimes conflicting in the context of the cultural wars that mark the present time and permeate the media and scientific space?

Given the depth and relevance of the interventions and debates developed in the seminar, in order to give a more lasting expression and allow for the valorization of the themes, analyses, and reflections presented at the meeting, it was decided to publish this ebook with the texts of some of the presentations given here. This ebook brings together ten research papers affiliated with the humanities, arts, and social sciences which, while not exhausting the universe of interventions presented at the seminar, offer an excellent sample of what was debated there.
