UNESCO and INFOethics: Seeking for global values in the Information Society Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the late 1990s, UNESCO organised a conference series on the ethical and legal dimensions of the Information Society, called INFOethics, which provided a forum for debates about the value of information and the moral questions arising from its increasing commercialization. Taking a critical stance on neo-liberal policy positions that dominated international debates at that time, most speakers at the conferences challenged the market-dominated ...

Competing perspectives? WTO and UNESCO on cultural diversity in global trade Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The critical celebration of ten years of UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (hereafter 'the Convention') coincides with the twenty years anniversary of that other global policy institution dealing with trade and culture, the World Trade Organization (WTO). Possibly both celebrations will be rather tempered. On the one hand, the fairly rapid negotiation of the Convention has been followed by ...
The implementation of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions in EU external relations Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This chapter investigates how the EU has implemented the UNESCO Convention in its external relations related to trade. It aims to gain insight in that process, identify the stakeholders involved, and analyse whether implementation of the Convention responds to the high hopes of finding a balance between cultural and economic concerns. The analysis of Protocols on Cultural Cooperation in particular provides details in this regard. On the one ...

Collaboration on Singing during Collaboration. Vi, Giặm and the UNESCO safeguarding paradigm Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The refashioning of so-called "folksongs" as post-2003 "intangible cultural heritage" is not only a question of updating concepts. The semantic reset operation is part of a new safeguarding paradigm for which the 2003 UNESCO convention and its operational directives function as an icebreaker. The challenge is to also develop the notion of "safeguarding" as a participatory or even collaborative practice; not only to move beyond notions like ...
Words Matter… The Arsenal and the Repertoire: UNESCO, ICOM, and European Frameworks Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This article presents concepts like “the Archive” and “the Repertoire” (D. Taylor), obligatory passage points (M. Callon), “boundary objects” (S. Star)
and the metaphor of the “Blue Arsenal” as useful tools to explore the impact of the Basic Texts of the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of
the Intangible Cultural Heritage. It zooms in on the connection between Operational Directives 108 and 109. Furthermore, new European ...

Bruegel and Burke were here! Examining the criteria implicit in the UNESCO paradigm of safeguarding ICH: the first decade Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Several masterpieces by the 16th century painter, Pieter
Bruegel from the Low Countries, can function as eyeopeners
to understand how 'popular culture' is mediated or
how successful multi-media inventories can be for cultural
repertoires. These paintings were also used in Peter Burke's
Popular Culture in Early Modern Europe. In order to fully
understand the recent developments before and since the
