“Public Trust in Expert Knowledge: Narrative, Ethics, and Engagement” examines the social, cultural, and ethical ramifications of changing public trust in the expert biomedical knowledge systems of emergent and complex global societies. This symposium was conceived as an interdisciplinary project, drawing on bioethics, the social sciences, and the medical humanities. We settled on public trust as a topic for our work together because its problematization cuts across our fields and substantive research interests. For us, trust is simultaneously a matter of ethics, social relations, and the cultural organization of meaning. We share a commitment to narrative inquiry across our fields of expertise in the bioethics of transformative health technologies, public communications on health threats, and narrative medicine. The contributions to this symposium have applied, in different ways and with different effects, this interdisciplinary mode of inquiry, supplying new reflections on public trust, expertise, and biomedical knowledge.

La presente ricerca rivisita l’antico istituto dei beni civici nella prospettiva della valorizzazione delle collettività locali, dello sviluppo sostenibile e dell’integrazione delle competenze nel governo del territorio e nella tutela dell’ambiente e del paesaggio e propone una loro nuova funzione, rispettosa dell’originaria, in un contesto di tendenziale prevalenza della destinazione e utilizzazione dei beni pubblici sulla mera titolarità
