Maggiori informazioni sul libro
With the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, a new understanding of world heritage emerged, distinct from the traditional focus on physical objects and historical documents. Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) is not solely a relic of the past nor confined to experts; communities and cultural bearers play a crucial role in defining and maintaining their heritage. Music constitutes nearly 60 percent of the world’s intangible cultural heritage, and the book delves into the complex relationship between music and cultural heritage. Through various examples of musical life in different historical and contemporary contexts, the text examines key issues surrounding the production, diffusion, and preservation of musical heritage. It serves as a valuable resource for culture workers and those interested in the intangible aspects of culture. The exploration highlights that ICH is primarily defined by its practitioners and is not limited to academic discourse. By addressing the multifaceted connections between music and cultural identity, the book provides insights into the practices and transmission of music, emphasizing its significance in the broader context of cultural heritage.
