Ghia de Su Museu de Sa Perda Crobina

Projects

The project for the writing of a Sardinian-language guide to the Obsidian Museum came about with the intention of enhancing the use of Sardinian as a tool for communication and cultural promotion.
This was an experimental project, the first on the Island in relation to a museum, which involved the local population, children and adults, in a research process that required employing Sardinian to describe scientific content normally offered in Italian or other languages.

The course involved numerous meetings with the local population-very young people and older people-in the course of which, through the telling of personal and collective stories, it was possible to discuss the issues of interest from an unprecedented point of view. The leading element of each meeting was the words of the story, which, necessarily, had to be translated into the Sardinian language. Along the way, we witnessed the birth of a community of purpose, committed to finding the expressions best suited to express scientific concepts that are sometimes difficult to translate, with the goal of writing a guide to the Obsidian Museum in the Sardinian language, in its Campidanese-Pauese variant.

The project for the drafting if SA GHIA DE SU MUSEO DE SA PERDA CROBINA was born in 2022 at the proposal of the Menabò Cultural Association, and was carried out with the support of the then director of the Museum Carlo Lugliè and Luca Cadeddu, an expert in Sardinian language. The activities were carried out with the support of the Municipality of Pau, the Historical and Environmental Geominerary Park of Sardinia and the Region of Sardinia.
