Publication

Transforming, Not Saving. Intangible Cultural Heritage, Museums and/or the World

Journal Contribution - Journal Article

This article considers the content of this special issue of Volkskunde (n° 3, 2020) in wider frames of reference. The publication is partly a follow up
on a previous special issue (n° 3, 2014) of this journal that focused on cultural brokerage and safeguarding intangible heritage. The theme and
the articles of the current special issue are situated and discussed in a broader context of other scholarly literature, international debates, initiatives and project results (in particular the Intangible Cultural Heritage and Museums Project) on museums and safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, as well as in the subsequent phases,
and even epistemic generations, of the paradigm of the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
