Historical Recreation as Public History: reflections on its inclusion in the academic debate
Abstract
Historical re-enactment has become in recent years a fundamental reference in history with enormous popular success by generating in broad social groups the illusion of actively participating, with the five senses, in the historical future. This success contrasts with the failure of the University to connect with the Society. But this success of Historical Recreation presents numerous risks if communication and collaboration channels are not established between recreation groups, the university and public institutions. This article analyses and reflects on the origin, potentials and risks of historical Recreation.
