Christoph Antons - Intellectual Property, Cultural Property and Intangible Cultural Heritage

Intellectual Property, Cultural Property and Intangible Cultural Heritage examines various notions of property, in particular cultural property and intellectual property, their relationship to intangible cultural heritage and how these notions of property are employed in rights discourses by governments and indigenous and local communities around the world.

There is a strong historical dimension to the books exploration of the interconnection between intellectual and cultural property, intangible cultural heritage and indigenous rights discourses. UNESCO conventions, discussions in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the Convention on Biological Diversity and the recent emphasis on intangible cultural heritage have provided various discourses and models. The volume explores these developments, as well as recent cases of conflicts and cross-border disputes about heritage. Case studies from Asia, as well as from Europe and Australia, examine the key issues surrounding the complex relationship between intellectual and cultural property and intangible cultural heritage.

Intellectual Property, Cultural Property and Intangible Cultural Heritage will be essential reading for scholars and students engaged in the study of heritage, history, law, anthropology and cultural studies.
