The UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible
Cultural Heritage came into force in 2006, framing the
international and national practices and policies associated with
intangible cultural heritage. This volume critically and
reflexively examines these practices and policies, providing an
accessible account of the different ways in which intangible
cultural heritage has been defined and managed in both national and
international contexts. As Safeguarding Intangible Heritage
reveals, the concept and practices of safeguarding are complicated
and often contested, and there is a need for international debate
about the meaning, nature and value of heritage and what it means
to 'safeguard' it. Safeguarding Intangible Heritage presents a
significant cross section of ideas and practices from some of the
key academics and practitioners working in the area, whose areas of
expertise span anthropology, law, heritage studies, linguistics,
archaeology, museum studies, folklore, architecture, Indigenous
studies and history. The chapters in this volume give an
overarching analysis of international policy and practice and
critically frame case studies that analyze practices from a range
of countries, including Australia, Canada, China, Indonesia, Japan,
Korea, Kyrgyzstan, New Zealand, Taiwan, the UK and Zimbabwe. With a
focus on conceptual and theoretical issues, this follow-up to
Intangible Heritage, by the same editors, will be of great interest
to students, scholars and professionals working in the fields of
heritage and museum studies, heritage conservation, heritage
tourism, global history, international relations, art and
architectural history, and linguists.
