A philological approach for the 3d reconstruction of the Messapian walls of Manduria in an augmented reality project


Abstract


This article concerns some theoretical discussions about storytelling and persuasive narration as a premise for the philological reconstructive study of an archaeological area. The forms of communication discussed here create emotions by interacting with human feelings, sharing stories that convey knowledge in a simple yet effective manner. The use of passive media and interactive technologies with minimal usability requirements encourages broad user engagement, pro-moting cross-disciplinary paths and unexpected connections. For this reason, this mode of cultural transmission represents the most effective way to engage a broader audience. In the second part of this discussion, some results from a recent project at the archaeological site of Manduria (TA) are presented, where, alongside the use of new digital languages to support storytelling, the methods of philological reconstruction and emotional storytelling are highlighted.
