'Cultural mapping' has become a central keyword in the UNESCO
strategy to protect natural and world cultural heritage, including
music traditions. As a tool to increase the awareness of cultural
diversity it transforms the concept of intangible cultural heritage
to visible items by establishing multi-dimensional profiles of
cultures and communities. Cultural mapping has been used as a
resource for a variety of purposes as broad as the analysis of
conflict points and peace building, adaptation to climate change,
sustainability management, as well as heritage debates and
management. Music has been playing a significant role in each of
these aspects. As this theme has rarely been explored within
ethnomusicology, this collection approaches the topic of cultural
mapping from four different thematic perspectives: The book starts
out with historical and methodological reflections on cultural
mapping in ethnomusicology, followed by an exploration on possible
relation between nature/ landscape (and definition of such) and
music/ sound. How exactly is landscape interrelated with music -
and identified (and vice versa)? The second half focuses more
specifically on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The
articles not only address the broader political framework, but also
thematic and geographic case studies of Intangible Cultural
Heritage and music, as well as the pro of UNESCO's endeavours.
