Sharing Cultures 2013
Third International Conference on Intangible Heritage
Aveiro, Portugal
July 24-26, 2013
Sharing Cultures 2013 – Third International Conference on Intangible Heritage follows the path established by the previous Conference on Intangible Heritage (Sharing Cultures 2009 and 2011) and aims at pushing further the discussion on Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), under the main topics proposed by the UNESCO Convention adding some new field of discussion, namely on what concerns management and promotion of ICH, educational matters and musealization (please refer to the list of Topics).
The concept of ICH gained its rightful place among the scientific community during the last decade and a significant amount of work has been done by a large number of researchers, academics and practitioners, leading to the recognition of ICH as fundamental piece for the comprehension of human societies, organisations and ways of living. Accordingly, scientific events that gather scholars, researchers and academics with on-going work on ICH are privileged moments to share experiences, problems, questions and conclusions. Sharing Cultures 2013 aims at being one of those events.
As in its previous edition, Sharing Cultures 2013 will include a number of workshops promoting some hands-on experience to all Delegates who will have the opportunity to learn traditional know-how from its owners and practitioners.
Authors intending to submit papers to Sharing Cultures 2013 are encouraged to address one of the following topics of the Conference by providing evidence of ongoing research work.
- Oral traditions and expressions
- Performing arts
- Social practices
- Traditional craftsmanship
- Management and promotion of Intangible Cultural Heritage
- Intangible Cultural Heritage and education
- Musealization of Intangible Cultural Heritage
- Special Chapter: Maritime Intangible Cultural Heritage
The Conference will welcome papers and presentations on field work, case studies and theoretical approaches to ICH.
Sharing Cultures 2013 is a peer reviewed conference.
