Mahdi Amel (1936-87) was a prominent Arab Marxist thinker and Lebanese Communist Party member. This first-time English translation of his selected writings sheds light on his notable contributions to ...the study of capitalism in a colonial context.
This collection provides an in-depth and up-to-date examination of the concept of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the issues surrounding its value to society. Critically engaging with the UNESCO ...2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage , the book also discusses local-level conceptualizations of living cultural traditions, practices and expressions, and reflects on the efforts that seek to safeguard them. Exploring a global range of case studies, the book considers the diverse perspectives currently involved with intangible cultural heritage and presents a rich picture of the geographic, socioeconomic and political contexts impacting research in this area. With contributions from established and emerging scholars, public servants, professionals, students and community members, this volume is also deeply enhanced by an interdisciplinary approach which draws on the theories and practices of heritage and museum studies, anthropology, folklore studies, ethnomusicology, and the study of cultural policy and related law. The Routledge Companion to Intangible Cultural Heritage undoubtedly broadens the international heritage discourse and is an invaluable learning tool for instructors, students and practitioners in the field.

La Convention pour la sauvegarde du patrimoine culturel Immatériel de 2003 et la Convention sur la protection et la promotion de la diversité des expressions culturelles de 2005 sont les deux plus ...récents traités culturels internationaux conclus sous l’égide de l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO). Puisant leur source dans la Déclaration universelle sur la diversité culturelle adoptée à l’unanimité des membres de l’UNESCO en 2001, les Conventions de 2003 et de 2005 constituent toutes deux une réponse de la communauté internationale aux phénomènes de mondialisation des économies et d’homogénéisation des cultures, notamment générés par l’intégration des marchés. Ces instruments demeurent néanmoins distincts et poursuivent des objectifs qui leurs sont propres, bien que des interactions entre les deux conventions puissent être identifiées. Cet ouvrage a pour vocation de mettre les deux textes en parallèles, de manière à clarifier leur champ d’application respectif, tout en valorisant leur complémentarité et leur contribution au développement durable des sociétés.
Divided as it is, philology is constantly improving through the emergence of new interdisciplinary sciences. One among them is ethnolinguistics. It has taken particularly firm roots in Slavic ...studies, especially with the Russian and Polish schools. While the diachronous researches of Nikita I. Tolstoy in Svetlana Tolstaya reach as far back as Slavic mythology, the Polish school, headed by Jerzy Bartmińsky, flirts with cognitive linguistics and is more interested, through its synchronous approach, in contemporary themes. The present monograph aims to evaluate the work carried out in this field to date and to raise awareness of the new interdisciplinary direction, which may link up the ethnologies and linguistics of different directions.
Terraced landscapes with agricultural terraces are cultural landscapes with a special value. This volume presents them in pictures and words in all their diversity and attractiveness. After ...discussing the global and European dimensions of terraced landscapes and their agricultural terraces, the volume focuses on Slovenian terraced landscapes~they are discussed separately by landscape types, individual regions, and sample cases in the territory of selected settlements (pilot areas). The conclusion also draws attention to the exceptional value and appeal of non-agricultural terraced landscapes that have been shaped by nature and man.
Raziskava se je osredotočila na povezavo med neformalnim izobraževanjem in ohranjanjem kulturne dediščine v lokalnem okolju, za katerega so značilne večkulturnost in migracije. V okviru študije ...primera so bile uporabljene kvalitativne metode raziskovalnega dela, s katerimi je bilo analizirano izobraževanje v 28 študijskih krožkih v društvu Anbot za obdobje 2003–2011.Ugotovitve kažejo, da je izobraževanje učinkovito pri ohranjanju kulturne dediščine, ker je nastala tesna povezanost med prostovoljnim delom in strokovnim znanjem. Učinkovito je tudi pri konstruiranju lokalne identitete, saj sta se z delovanjem društva razvila pomensko okolje in skupnost, s katero se ljudje identificirajo.
