Methodologically, the research involves comprehensive analyses of case studies that exemplify various aspects of Dissonant Heritage, examining their historical contexts, social impacts, and changing perceptions. Through this process, the research explores the phenomenon of re-signification, in which communities engage while reinterpreting and communicating the values of Dissonant Heritage beyond the associated stigma.   While mapping situations where conflicts arise due to divergent interpretations, the Co.Co.War theoretical framework allows for a more nuanced understanding of the complexities of dissonance and seeks to identify effective strategies for preserving and communicating this heritage.

This approach paves the way for integrated and inclusive conservation practices and effective communication methodologies. To achieve these objectives, the Co.Co.War Research Program actively engages in cooperation with institutions and organizations at both national and international levels, promoting knowledge exchange and sharing of best practices in the field of Dissonant Heritage.
