Since the Intangible Heritage Convention was adopted by UNESCO in
2003, intangible cultural heritage has increasingly been an
important subject of debate in international forums. As more
countries implement the Intangible Heritage Convention, national
policymakers and communities of practice have been exploring the
use of intellectual property protection to achieve intangible
cultural heritage safeguarding outcomes. This book examines diverse
cultural heritage case studies from Indigenous communities and
local communities in developing and industrialised countries to
offer an interdisciplinary examination of topics at the
intersection between heritage and property which present
cross-border challenges. Analysing a range of case studies which
provide examples of traditional knowledge, traditional cultural
expressions, and genetic resources by a mixture of practitioners
and scholars from different fields, the book addresses guidelines
and legislation as well as recent developments about shared
heritage to identify a progressive trend that improves the
understanding of intangible cultural heritage. Considering all
forms of intellectual property, including patents, copyright,
design rights, trade marks, geographical indications, and sui
generis rights, the book explores problems and challenges for
intangible cultural heritage in crossborder situations, as well as
highlighting positive relationships and collaborations among
communities across geographical boundaries. Transboundary Heritage
and Intellectual Property Law: Safeguarding Intangible Cultural
Heritage will be an important resource for practitioners, scholars,
and students engaged in studying intangible cultural heritage,
intellectual property law, heritage studies, and anthropology.
Culture, Communication, and Cooperation treats a broad topic
communication and effectiveness in organizations in a very concrete
way. Patricia Covarrubias presents an engaging and original
ethnographic study of approximately 550 workers in a Mexican
industrial organization in Veracruz. She studies the complex
interpersonal networks formed and destroyed by language subtleties,
specifically terms of personal address (tu and usted), and draws
larger conclusions about language, culture, and social interaction
in businesses and organizations and also about beliefs and values
that are central to Mexican culture. While the book specifically
targets students and scholars of organizational communication,
those with an interest in Mexican language and culture will also
want to read Culture, Communication, and Cooperation now available
in paperback."
