Co-creating scientific knowledge towards the technological memory of the glazed ceramics production

Abstract

This reflection discusses and deepens the methodological paths of construction and innovation of scientific knowledge on the memory of the technological processes of production of glazed ceramics, their materials, ways of doing and know-how dynamics. To this end, it addresses the notion of co-production of scientific knowledge related to the study of these memories. The aim is to discuss the contributions with/using a dialogic perspective between social sciences/anthropology, history/art history, conservation/ restoration, natural and exact sciences, and digital technologies. More specifically, the synergetic dynamics between a historical and anthropological perspective of the construction of knowledge, in which the use of qualitative methodological approaches and devices predominates, and a technical-scientific, experimental and laboratory approach to the production of scientific knowledge, also highlighting the potentialities that digital technologies can have in increasing this purpose. In the development of the work, we use specialized literature and provide examples, where we examine studies based on research projects, observing achievements, challenges, and opportunities of co-creating scientific knowledge.
