“…Not surprisingly, social media management -as a subsidiary type of activities -has not recorded variations among the two periods considered in the analysis (from 64.7% to 61.8%), as it represents a communication channel through which UMs disseminate digital contents on the collections (Giannini & Bowen, 2019). This result is corroborated by the evidence on promotional activities occurring through traditional communication media (e.g., local and national newspapers, broadcasting), which indeed decrease by 38.2% during the lockdown.…”

“…Results additionally show that digital technologies have not been pervasive, insofar as communities' members that were not familiar with them may have met some barriers for accessing the UMs' contents. Similarly, the decrease in edutainment activities reveals that technology has not always supported the relationship with the extant audience (Giannini & Bowen, 2019). The normalcy has also encompassed the social media management, as a subsidiary UMs' activity.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the normal conditions within which Higher Education systems are used to operate. This regards not only teaching and research, but also public engagement activities as a university Third Mission. As for the latter, there is scant literature on University Museums as subjects that transfer cultural knowledge to the community, so providing a relevant public service. Addressing this research gap, this study focuses on the critical Italian context, exploring how University Museums have responded to the COVID-19 lockdown. To this aim, the social science notion of resilience is adopted for interpreting the evidence on their ability to cope with the emergency. Data from legislative and statistical sources are complemented by a questionnaire administered to 34 University Museums. Findings show the ability of Italian University Museums to handle the ongoing emergency by carrying out digital and non-digital activities that prevent it to become worse. A conceptual model that highlights how University Museums contribute to transfer cultural knowledge also at a time of emergency is finally proposed.

“…The Symposium series initially started in association with the Pratt Institute London Summer School, with an emphasis on digital culture and "digitalism" or "digitality" (Bowen & Giannini 2014;Giannini & Bowen 2019b;2019c). A collaboration with the Royal College of Art developed, providing an artistic and philosophical angle to the Symposium (Polmeer 2016;2019).…”

This Symposium Panel explores themes of arts and identity with respect to the boundaries of reality and virtuality, especially with respect to changes in attitudes accelerated due to the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic. Each panellist provides a position statement from their point of view. The viewpoints cover artistic, curatorial, and academic issues. The effects are rapidly changing the digital culture in which we increasingly live.
