The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria
is pleased to offer Intangible Heritage, a 6-day immersion course for
professionals in museums, heritage associations, and related
organizations.
INTANGIBLE HERITAGE
While museums and other heritage agencies are skilled at preserving the
tangible evidence of our past and present, they are less adept at also
preserving the traditional practices, art forms, crafts, religious and
social customs, languages, oral histories and stories, and cultural
values and perspectives that reflect and perpetuate peoples' cultural
heritage. This new course explores the nature and value of intangible
cultural heritage, along with the significant challenges associated with
documenting, preserving, and interpreting, these resources in meaningful
ways. You develop your understanding of:
* the role of intangible heritage in cultural identity
* factors that motivate the growing international interest in the
preservation of intangible heritage
* culturally diverse perceptions of the nature, value, and management of
intangible heritage resources
* the preservation and documentation challenges associated with a range
of intangible heritage resources
* integrated approaches to the management and interpretation of tangible
and intangible heritage
* considerations relating to sensitive, sacred, and ethical matters
