The future of the phenomenon 'Tradition' and the future of Museology as a scientific discipline

Abstract

In the proposal here presented, the first version of which was published in the “Materials for a discussion”, I have organized the theme into three parts: the first discusses the concept of Tradition and contemporary authors that reflect about it; the second discusses some reflections about science, considering it as a tradition and using Bourdieu as reference, and discussing also some ideas about museum and Museology; and finally, the future of these both, considering the time that we are living and a problem that, I stress, needs to be faced: the post-truth phenomenon.
