Session outline

In this session we will look at issues arising around the preservation and management of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) and traditional cultural expressions (TCE). We will think about how intellectual property rights systems can create tension or conflict when applied to traditional cultural expressions and their digital reproductions. We will also consider the epistemologies and value systems that inform the preservation, treatment and reuse of ICH and TCE in material and digital environments. We will discuss some specific initiatives, including Nomad and Palestine Open Maps. After a discussion between the participants, we will then suggest a practical exercise researching and mapping the changing names and historical identities of a modern day location.
