Colonial Heritage, Power, and Contestation
Recent debates about the return of colonially looted heritage have furthered the discussions on decolonisation around the world, and have reignited questions surrounding “what is, and who owns, cultural heritage”. These discourses in the meaning, production and management of heritage – with a growing presence of themes that address “Latinities” – have gained greater visibility in Latin America and the Caribbean, as challenges surrounding cultural heritage arise more prominently worldwide. The attention on this region aims to contextualise the various theoretical, empirical, and critical perspectives in relation to the negotiation of decolonisation. Hence, this book focuses on the...
A Research Agenda for Comparative Law
This prescient Research Agenda explores how comparative law has developed significantly in this century, offering insights into different perspectives on its scope, methods and outlook. It addresses the similarities and differences between legal systems and traditions, expressing why pluralistic methodology strengthens comparative law as a discipline.
A Research Agenda for Cultural Heritage Law
This Research Agenda recasts cultural heritage law, emphasising the importance of developing rigorous and socially engaged scholarly research in the field. It analyses tensions and methodologies, using the return of colonial cultural objects as a key case study.
Routledge Handbook of Private Law and Sustainability
The Routledge Handbook of Private Law and Sustainability reflects on how the law can help tackle the current environmental challenges and make our societies more resilient to future crises. Sustainability has been high on the political agenda since the approval of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 and the EU Green Deal in 2019. The Green Agenda aims at making Europe the first climate‐neutral continent by 2050, but humanity persists in an ecological overshoot that puts at risk the survival of species, including that of our own. Drawing together a selection of leading thinkers in the field, this Handbook provides a curated overview of the most recent and relevant discussions for priv...
Research Handbook on Intellectual Property and Cultural Heritage
This important Research Handbook offers a comprehensive analysis of the intersections between intellectual property (IP) and cultural heritage law. It explores and compares how both have evolved and sometimes converged over time, how they increased tremendously in significance, as well as in economic value, despite the fact that the former mainly pertains to the private sphere, whilst the latter is considered a ‘common good’.
Der Schutz materieller Kulturgüter in Lateinamerika
The main reason why Latin America is a cultural diverse region is because of the indigenous peoples who inhabit it. That is why indigenous peoples' interests on their cultural property have to be taken into account when this matter is to be legally regulated in Latin American countries. In order to ascertain whether that has occurred, the book explores relevant legal instruments at the international and regional levels and compares national norms in some Latin American countries, particularly those concerning ownership. It concludes that recognition of indigenous interests in Latin American law on cultural property is still a pending task. Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage: Wie ist ...
El ámbito de lo colectivo
Vivimos en sociedades donde el individuo constituye el centro de la mayoría de nuestras reflexiones y acciones, ya sean políticas, morales o de otro tipo. Esto es así, por lo menos, en las sociedades occidentales, aunque vemos cómo otras culturas, en las que lo colectivo tradicionalmente ha tenido un papel relevante, van experimentando cambios que tienden a orientarlas hacia ese paradigma individual. Decir que esto último sea positivo o negativo no es fácil, y tal vez es imposible. Lo que sí podemos asegurar, sin miedo a equivocarnos, es que el derecho no escapa de esa realidad —ya impuesta o que va imponiéndose— del paradigma individualista. En este sentido, advertimos que los s...
Between Imagined Communities and Communities of Practice
Community and participation have become central concepts in the nomination processes surrounding heritage, intersecting time and again with questions of territory. In this volume, anthropologists and legal scholars from France, Germany, Italy and the USA take up questions arising from these intertwined concerns from diverse perspectives: How and by whom were these concepts interpreted and re-interpreted, and what effects did they bring forth in their implementation? What impact was wielded by these terms, and what kinds of discursive formations did they bring forth? How do actors from local to national levels interpret these new components of the heritage regime, and how do actors within heritage-granting national and international bodies work it into their cultural and political agency? What is the role of experts and expertise, and when is scholarly knowledge expertise and when is it partisan? How do bureaucratic institutions translate the imperative of participation into concrete practices? Case studies from within and without the UNESCO matrix combine with essays probing larger concerns generated by the valuation and valorization of culture.
Kultur als Eigentum: Instrumente, Querschnitte und Fallstudien
Im Zeitalter verknappender Ressourcen ist Kultur - beispielsweise in Form von traditionellem Wissen oder Kulturerbe - in den Brennpunkt wirtschaftlicher, politischer wie ideeller Interessen gerückt. Die Rechte an Eigentum oder Nutzung solcher Kulturgüter werden von internationalen Bühnen bis zu lokalen Schauplätzen verhandelt und implementiert. Nach sechs Jahren intensiver, interdisziplinärer Zusammenarbeit legt die DFG-Forschergruppe 772 ("Die Konstituierung von Cultural Property: Akteure, Diskurse, Kontexte, Regeln") einen mehrgliedrigen Ergebnisband zu diesem wichtigen, spätmodernen Phänomen der Konstituierung kulturellen Eigentums vor. Ein erster Teil bietet griffige Vorstellungen verschiedener internationaler Instrumente und Arenen, in denen Handhabung von Schutz und Inwertsetzung von Kultur im Mittelpunkt stehen. Der zweite Teil versammelt Beiträge, die zentrale Handlungsmotive und Legitimationsweisen der Inwertsetzung von Kultur erörtern und Konzepte, die dabei von besonderer Relevanz sind, durchleuchten. Im dritten Teil werden Ergebnisse aus den verschiedenen Teilprojekten der Forschergruppe vorgestellt.
Experiencias de salvaguardia del patrimonio cultural inmaterial
Este es un libro en el que confluyen múltiples miradas, voces y plumas para abordar un tema en común: el patrimonio cultural inmaterial y su salvaguardia. En 2013 se llevó a cabo el "II Congreso Internacional sobre Experiencias en la Salvaguardia del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial" en la ciudad de Zacatecas. Algunas de las 134 ponencias allí presentadas dieron origen a los capítulos de este libro. De esta manera, se consolida la práctica de coordinar esfuerzos para la difusión de algunas de las múltiples experiencias que se realizan tanto desde el ámbito académico como desde diversas instituciones públicas, en materia de salvaguardia del PCI. Una de las características principale...
