&#160;&#160;&#160;The aim of the Italian Association of Public History is to develop Public History in Italy by creating opportunities to meet, share and  compare  knowledge among all those who practice it, promoting the teaching, research and valorization of the best experiences in this field.The 2nd National Conference in Pisa, during which the Plenary Assembly of the Association will also be held, continues the work we began in Ravenna in June 2017 to discuss and share experiences and practices, as well as to address the many challenges of Public History: filling the gap between historical research and historical common sense; attracting new audiences through participation projects; ensuring that history is perceived as an essential resource for understanding the present and planning the future; contributing to a greater awareness of the value of historical knowledge as a requirement for a full citizenship; designing the most appropriate education to meet these challenges; comparing the original practices of the discipline in Europe and other continents.To highlight the variety of experiences currently in place in Italy, the Association choose to indicate a set of topics for submitting proposals. The invitation to apply is addressed to historians and archaeologists, including curators of exhibitions and museums, archivists and librarians, geographers and architects, and more generally to those who work in the content industry and in the creative field such as writers, journalists, artists, directors, dramatis, movie and documentary makers, musicians, but also collectors and local or non-local history connoisseurs.The Italian Association of Public History aims to create opportunities for confrontation and reflection among those who work with and on the past, on how history is present in society, from university to squares, in high and popular culture, in everyday life.&#160;THEMES AND FIELDS1.MEMORY Anniversaries and celebrations History and memory Monuments and places of memory Commemorations Living History Public Use of History2.METHODS Digital Media, Internet and Collaborative Writing in History Digital Public History Audio and Video Crowdsourcing Photography and Public History Open Access and Communication in History Mobile App dedicated to History3.NARRATIVES Historical Films TV Series Documentaries Literature Comics Video Game Theater4.JOBS Who are the Public Historians in Italy Professional Ethics and Public History Teaching Public History Schools, Teachers and Public History History in Museums &#38; Exhibitions Historical Magazines and their Audience Public and Private Patrons in History What is the Market for History?
