This volume examines the implications and consequences of the
idea of intangible heritage to current international academic and
policy debates about the meaning and nature of cultural heritage
and the management processes developed to protect it. It provides
an accessible account of the different ways in which intangible
cultural heritage has been defined and managed in both national and
international contexts, and aims to facilitate international debate
about the meaning, nature and value of not only intangible cultural
heritage, but heritage more generally.
Intangible Heritage fills a significant gap in the heritage
literature available and represents a significant cross section of
ideas and practices associated with intangible cultural heritage.
The authors brought together for this volume represent some of the
key academics and practitioners working in the area, and discuss
research and practices from a range of countries, including:
Zimbabwe, Morocco, South Africa, Japan, Australia, United Kingdom,
the Netherlands, USA, Brazil and Indonesia, and bring together a
range of areas of expertise which include anthropology, law,
heritage studies, archaeology, museum studies, folklore,
architecture, Indigenous studies and history.
