- Tantárgy tartalma
- The course analyses the emergence of the intangible heritage concept, on one hand, in a historical sense. With methodological insights from cultural anthropology, new cultural history and Kulturgeschichte, it explains the long-term cultural and social processes leading to the making of the UNESCO Convention of 2003; it identifies phenomena (postcolonialism, multiculturalism and globalisation) that have spotlighted the importance of documenting, researching, safeguarding, protecting, supporting, and disseminating activities defined as intangible cultural heritage in the contemporary world. On the other hand, the course explores the institutional setting responsible for safeguarding intangible heritage after the enactment of the Convention on the international scene and in Hungary; it scrutinizes the political and academic efforts shaping the Representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity, the List of intangible cultural heritage in need of urgent safeguarding as well as the Register of good safeguarding practices. Case studies chosen from international and Hungarian academic literature will help students analyse the strategies of various communities in their efforts to nominate their heritage to some of these lists; their readings will also feature the contradictions and conflicts that may derive from the production of intangible heritage in the context of global culture.
