The French “takes” of intangible cultural heritage : tracking the actualizations of a complex and ambiguous political device

2022

Intangible cultural heritage (hereafter ICH), introduced by UNESCO with the 2003 convention, is a complex and ambiguous entity that takes different forms depending on whether it is in the hands of state heritage institutions, territorial communities, associations, militant movements or researchers in the humanities and social sciences. It can be considered as a means of affirming a “national community” in the name of a “cultural exception”, as an instrument of governmentality, as a resource and a decisive lever for territorial development, as a means of recognition, as a critical weapon or as a space for questioning the sharing of knowledge and expertise.This research aims to explore these …

The relationship between international investment law and cultural heritage has commanded little attention and only recently. Certainly, international investment law has become one of the most prominent branches of international law. Its development has been strictly connected to the soaring growth of bilateral treaties on the promotion and protection of foreign investment and free trade agreements with foreign investment chapters. n turn, the status and place of cultural heritage under international law has grown, significantly progressing from some provisions included in international humanitarian conventions on the protection of heritage during armed conflicts. In light of the few studie…

Opra i pupi siciliana: Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity

2014

In the first decades of the nineteenth century a form of puppet theater was established in Sicily, specialized in the staging of epic-chivalrous events: the opra î pupi (work of the puppets), which has since enjoyed enormous success among the working classes Sicilians. The work of the pupi has the merit of imploding an articulated complex of traditionally formalized competences (from the material to the expressive level) and at the same time reflecting the socio-symbolic values ​​on which until recently the Sicilian popular culture was founded. For this reason, in 2001, the title of "Masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity" was recognized by UNESCO. The central role attr…

Kontrowersje wokół folkloru, folkloryzmu jako niematerialnego dziedzictwa kulturowego

2015

The authoress has taken interest in new aspects of folklore and folklorism in the contemporary culture as well as in the current discussion on folk culture, tradition and cultural heritage in Poland. She based her reflections on the 2003 UNESCO Convention (ratified by Poland only in 2011): terms ‘folklore’ and ‘folklorism’ are replaced with a new term ‘intangible cultural heritage’ which also includes material culture. However, there is a dichotomy between the cultural policy at the state level (including common knowledge of organisers of cultural activities and culture creators) and academic theory.

The author has already referred to the complex set of phenomena that accompany the change in terminology, pointing e.g. at the growing discrepancy between the academic theory and the cultural policy of the state.
