From a cultural-political perspective, the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage is a global winner. It is one of the most successful international agreements in the field of culture. Nonetheless, the authors believe that this convention—at least in Switzerland—is often undervalued in the cultural policy arena and, in particular, is still not applied adequately. As a result, the strengths and dynamics coming from the convention’s fundamentally bottom-up approach remain largely untapped. In their analysis, the authors will refer to various key decisions made in the past regarding implementation of the convention in Switzerland. There will be particular emphasis on the formation of the inventory and UNESCO applications, the inclusion of tradition bearers as well as measures taken to safeguard intangible cultural heritage.

摘要

From a cultural-political perspective, the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage is a global winner. It is one of the most successful international agreements in the field of culture. Nonetheless, the authors believe that this convention—at least in Switzerland—is often undervalued in the cultural policy arena and, in particular, is still not applied adequately. As a result, the strengths and dynamics coming from the convention’s fundamentally bottom-up approach remain largely untapped. In their analysis, the authors will refer to various key decisions made in the past regarding implementation of the convention in Switzerland. There will be particular emphasis on the formation of the inventory and UNESCO applications, the inclusion of tradition bearers as well as measures taken to safeguard intangible cultural heritage.
