Description
Summary:This article draws on a fieldwork conducted in a region of southern Italy where, in the 1970s and 1980s, the Trisaia-Itrec Nuclear Research Centre carried out processing and reclassification operations of used nuclear fuel elements. The fate of this nuclear research plant changed definitively after the 1987 moratorium, when Italy renounced the nuclear policy. This has led local people to redefine their relationship with the territory in which they live. This article focuses on the historical, collective and institutionalized revision of the period of nuclear research activity and on the resemantization of the Trisaia-Itrec Centre as a “site of memory”. In addition to analysing the ways of evoking the past, the aim of this work is to highlight the cognitive frames used by people to make sense of their discourses.
