Abstract

Daniel Shapiro
1 - 5
The author discusses the nature and importance of cultural property, and the role of the International Cultural Property Society.
(Re)Introducing the International Journal of Cultural Property
Alexander A Bauer
6 - 10
Describes how the journal will expand its scope to encompass what is seen as the inherent tension between the terms `culture' and `heritage'. It is thought that on the one hand, culture suggests something dynamic: representing diverse values and practices of different social groups, which continually evolve as they interact with others and their membership changes whilst on the other hand, heritage (and likewise property) implies something more clearly defined and static: it refers to a specific object or tradition passed on from generation to generation with little to no significant change. Further, the difficulty in resolving these opposing forces -- change versus stability -- underlies why protecting, controlling, and possessing cultural heritage is so difficult to regulate in law, policy, and practice.
Cultural property internationalism
John H Merryman
11 - 39
The article describes the historical development of cultural property internationalism (defined as the proposition that everyone has an interest in the preservation and enjoyment of cultural property, wherever it is situated, from whatever cultural or geographic source it derives), and its expression in the international law of war, in the work of UNESCO, and in the international trade in cultural objects and assesses the ways in which cultural-property world actors support or resist the implications of cultural property internationalism.
Heritage trouble: recent work on the protection of intangible cultur...
Michael F Brown
40 - 61
A paper outlining concerns about the fate of intangible cultural property in the context of the rise of the Information Society, which is seen as adept at stripping information from the cultural contexts that give it meaning. Efforts to preserve intangible heritage have tended to follow Information Society models by proposing that heritage be inventoried, then removed from the public domain and returned to the exclusive control of its putative creators. This essay reviews recent scholarly work and policy initiatives related to intangible cultural property, with an eye toward identifying their merits and flaws. It argues for a more ecological perspective, one that takes account of the unpredictable quality of information flows as well as the costs of attempting to manage them. Also explored are some of the difficult, unanswered questions about whether all intangible cultural heritage is equally worthy of protection.
The ``caring and sharing'' alternative: recent progress in the International Law Associati...
Robert K Paterson
62 - 77
The article starts by describing the International Law Association and discussing its role, along with that of other non-governmental organizations, in connection with the development of cultural heritage principles and instruments. It then outlines the intent behind the Draft Principles for Cooperation in the Mutual Protection and Transfer of Cultural Material being developed by the Committee on Cultural Heritage Law of the International Law Association. The Committee favours a non-adversarial and collaborative approach to issues surrounding the return of cultural material to its place or people of origin. The article describes and discusses the draft principles being developed by the Committee.
Cultural nationalists, internationalists, and ``intra-nationalists'': who's right and whose right?
Joe Watkins
78 - 94
This paper examines some of the complex issues that relate to the management of ``heritage'', primarily as such issues relate to indigenous populations and communities.
