Abstract

What happens when UNESCO heritage conventions are ratified by a state? How do UNESCO’s global efforts interact with preexisting local, regional and state efforts to conserve or promote culture? What new institutions emerge to address the mandate? The contributors to this volume focus on the work of translation and interpretation that ensues once heritage conventions are ratified and implemented. With seventeen case studies from Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and China, the volume provides comparative evidence for the divergent heritage regimes generated in states that differ in history and political organization. The cases illustrate how UNESCO’s aspiration to honor and celebrate cultural diversity diversifies itself. The very effort to adopt a global heritage regime forces myriad adaptations to particular state and interstate modalities of building and managing heritage.

Abstract

The clash of June 1967, called by Israelis the Six-Day War and by Palestinians the Naksa (setback), is a critical milestone within the longstanding Israeli- Palestinian conflict. Despite all the scholarly attention ever since, there remain unheard voices and untold stories. It is the personal stories of people in the region that are at the center of this book. How do they remember 1967? How were their lives affected, even changed dramatically as a result of that short war? Listening to their stories as told some 50 years later, an incomplete tapestry of memories and understandings emerge. This book is the product of a re-search collaboration among Palestinian, Israeli and European folklorists, cultural anthropologists and sociologists. The personal stories were collected in the framework of interviews with men and women from all walks of life, on the days before, during and after this dramatic confrontation. The book is comprised of eleven chapters based on a corpus of several hundred conversations, as well as eight representative interviews. Together they afford insight into differential memories and sensations, visions of euphoria and despair, newly revived hopes, pain and disappointment, disillusionment and repentance.

Abstract

Can ownership of culture make sense? The interest in bringing cultural property to the market or preventing it and thereby creating collective or individual, ideological or economic profit is shaped by the strongly divergent conditions that actors find in a postcolonial, late modern world. The interdisciplinary DFG research group on the constitution of cultural property has been shedding light on this question, which has been dealt with in the public eye for a number of years. The research group asks about the constitution of cultural property in the area of ​​tension between cultural, economic, legal and hereby also socio-political discourses. This also necessitates the new collaboration in this focused form of specialists from the cultural and social sciences as well as law and economics. The diversity of disciplinary access to a research area is shown just as clearly in the first results from ongoing research conveyed in this volume, as is the need to bring disciplinary points of view together in a joint effort in order to understand the process of constituting cultural property.
