The world of everyday life: Ninety five ( 95 ) silver crafts of Ioannina town narrate

The aim of the research is to record the lived experience and memory of the silver workers of Epirus and to contribute to the study of the history and memory of the silver working world of the city of Ioannina and the small mountainous region of Kalarrita, from the 18th century until today. Throughout the recording, about 95 silverworkers talk about their work, their craftsmanship and its value in modern economics, their workshop, and their relationships with other craftsmen, traders, customers , for the cultural evaluation of the objects they manufacture.They thus emerge as active social entities that, through social and cultural practices, form their identities, relationships, conflicts, domains of power, and form distinct perceptions, strategies for adapting and integrating into the modern world of a market economy. It is pointed out that the concept of labor is not conceived as an economic, merely a concept, inextricably linked to the process of production, but also as a social and cultural concept, linked to the process of social reproduction, of culture in general.Several studies, moreover, have already shown that the economic sphere does not appear independent and autonomous from other social activities and relationships (on the contrary, incorporates relationships, meanings, values, culture in the broader sense) nor is it the sole regulator of social relations and changes. The digitization of the material has been completed and its integration into a relevant database is imminent. The intent of the holder of the collection is to incorporate the above material into the Folklore Museum of the University of Ioannina (), where it will co-exist with the material objects present there (An entire workshop of silverware and other objects).

本研究旨在记录伊庇鲁斯（Epirus）银匠的亲身经历与集体记忆，为探讨18世纪至今约阿尼纳市（Ioannina）及卡拉里塔（Kalarrita）山地小区域的银饰工艺行业历史与集体记忆贡献研究支撑。本次记录共访谈约95名银匠，他们围绕自身从业历程、手工技艺及其在现代经济中的价值、个人工坊，与其他工匠、商户、客户的交往关系，以及所制作器物的文化价值评判展开分享。这些银匠由此成为活跃的社会主体，通过社会与文化实践塑造自身身份、人际联结、利益冲突与权力场域，并形成独特的认知体系，以及适应并融入市场经济现代社会的策略。研究强调，劳动的概念并非仅作为与生产过程密不可分的经济概念存在，同时也是一种社会与文化概念，与社会再生产及整体文化进程息息相关。此外，多项既往研究已表明，经济领域并非独立于其他社会活动与社会关系而存在（恰恰相反，它涵盖了广义上的社会关系、意义体系与文化价值），亦并非社会关系与社会变迁的唯一调节因素。目前，该研究相关素材的数字化工作已完成，其整合至专业数据库的工作即将启动。本数据集的持有者计划将上述素材纳入约阿尼纳大学民俗博物馆（Folklore Museum of the University of Ioannina），与馆内现存的实物藏品（一整套银器工坊及相关器物）共同陈列。
