Globalising intangible cultural heritage? Between international arenas and local appropriations
2010
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
shares the widespread contemporary popular and academic concern about globalisation and responds by making the protection of ‘cultural diversity’ the pivot of
its overall cultural policy. In particular, the ‘threat of globalisation’ is assumed to
be especially dangerous for the most recent UNESCO heritage domain,
Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). The Convention for the Safeguarding of the
Intangible Cultural Heritage refers to the issue of globalisation in the preamble,
recognising that:the processes of globalisation and social transformation, alongside the conditions
they create for renewed dialogue among communities, also give rise, as does the
phenomenon of intolerance, to grave threats of deterioration, disappearance and
destruction of the intangible cultural heritage, in particular owing to a lack of
resources for safeguarding such heritage.
