Art and globalisation : the place of intangible heritage in a globalized environmentGrand, Nesbeth 22 November 2013 (has links)
The thesis has investigated the place of Zimbabwean indigenous intangible heritage in a globalising environment. It used the Shona language and intangible heritage situation as a case study. It argued that Zimbabwean intangible heritage is continually being eroded by the agents of globalisation and that the only way of safeguarding it from extinction is through the preservation of Zimbabwean indigenous languages. The thesis has come to this conclusion after having established that there is an intimate and inseparable bond between language and its intangible values so much that it is not possible to talk of one devoid of the other. The relationship has been seen to be symbiotic. The Shona language has been established to embody, express and to be a carrier of all the intangible heritage of its speakers into the future by re-living them in the people’s daily life while these intangible values have been seen to conserve the language through their continued practice by the people. The research has also established that Zimbabwean intangible heritage marginalisation has roots in colonialism, dating as far back as the early Christian missionary days. The Shona intangible heritage has also been seen to be still of value despite the global threats as evidenced by the people’s continued re-living of it through language. The thesis has also noted that the Zimbabwean Ministry of Education, Sport and Culture is still using out-dated colonial language policies that still further the ascendancy of English and the intangible values it stands for while indigenous languages and values are marginalised in the education system, in government and in industry thereby worsening their predicament in the global environment. The current socio-economic and political developments in the country and some Shona novelists in Shona and in English are also culprits in this whole process as they continue to demonise and infantilise Zimbabwean intangible heritage. The thesis has therefore asserted that Zimbabwean intangible heritage is most likely to be eroded from the face of the earth if no measures are taken to safeguard it from extinction. It has therefore wound up by arguing that the survival of Zimbabwean intangible heritage lies in the survival of Zimbabwean indigenous languages through which it continues to be practised and felt by its people. The thesis has therefore recommended that the Zimbabwean government adopt sound language policies that safeguard the survival of Zimbabwean indigenous languages to enable the indigenous intangible heritage of the people to survive as well as the two are intricately related. / African Languages / (D.Litt.et.Phil.(African Languages))

Adressing the impact of structural fragmentation on aspects of the management and conservation of cultural heritageSibayi, Dumisani 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPA (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
The birth of democracy in South Africa launched a paradigm shift in the public
sector aligning it with the new political ideology. To meet this objective, state
organs had to be radically transformed to embrace this new political ideology
so as to extend and enhance service delivery to all South Africans. The
democratisation of state organs led to the transformation of public institutions
both statutory and non-statutory.
The urgency to transform strategic state institutions whose mandate was to
provide basic and primary needs like health, housing and social services, led
to the neglect of other like sport, culture, and the natural environment. The
transformation of some of the latter institutions was attended to only after a
couple of years after the democratisation. This led to flaws in these legislative
development processes which resulted in the creation of different institutions
by various laws. This was the root cause of fragmentation.
The provisions of these Acts are in some areas ambiguous and contradictory.
The consequences are duplications and overlaps in the implementation
processes. Heritage institutions have different regulatory frameworks and
management systems – regulations, policies, guidelines and procedures.
Furthermore, complex internal management systems expedite fragmentation
of this sector. This institutional fragmentation has enormous impact on
heritage conservation and management. There is limited cooperation and
collaboration between heritage institutions.
This study will outline how theories, strategies and instruments from the new
public management approach, can be utilised to address these challenges. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING:
Met die totstandkoming van ‘n demokratiese Suid-Afrika het in paradigma
verskuiwing in die openbare sektor gevolg wat dit in lyn gebring het met die
nuwe politieke ideologie. Om hierdie doelwit te bereik staats instelling moes
radikaal getransformeer word om hierdie nuwe politieke ideologie te
ondersteun en diens lewering na alle Suid-Afrikaners uit te brei. Die
demokratisering van staatsinstellings het tot die transformasie van beide
statutere en -nie statutere instellings gelei.
Die noodsaak om strategiese staatsinstellings wie se mandaat dit was om
basiese en primere dienste soos gesondheid, behuising en maatskaplike
dienste te verskaf en transformeer, het tot die verwaarlosing van sport,
kultuur en omgewingsake gelei. Dit het ‘n paar jaar geduur na
demokratisering voordat die transformasie van hierdie instellings aandag
gekry het. Die gevolg was ‘n gebrekkige wetgewende ontwikkelingsproses
wat tot die totstandkoming van verskillende instellings in terme van verskeie
wette gelei het. Hierdie is die bron van fragmentasie. Die voorskrifte van
hierdie wetgewing is in sekere areas dubbelsinnig en teenstrydig. Die gevolg
is duplikasie en oorvleuling in die implementeringsprosesse. Erfenis
oorvleueling instellings het verskillende regulatoriese raamwerke en
bestuurstelsels- regulasies, beleide, riglyne en prosedures. Verder vererger
die komplekse interne bestuurstelsels fragmentasie in die sektor. Die
institusionele fragmentasie het groot impak op erfenisbewaring en-bestuur.
Daar is beperkte samewerking tussen erfenis instellings.
Hierdie studies sal aandui hoe teoriee, strategie en instrumente van die nuwe
benadering tot openbare bestuur aangewend kan word om hierdie uitdagings
die hoof te bied.

Perceiving and participating in cultural heritage : an ethnography about the process of preservation of Ouro Preto, BrazilDe Souza Santos, Andreza Aruska January 2016 (has links)
This thesis discusses the promises and pitfalls of city preservation in Ouro Preto, a Brazilian city preserved nationally and hailed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Using interviews, archival material, ethnographic observations, and the analysis of public meetings on city preservation in Ouro Preto in 2013, I study how the city's legacy as a national treasure of monumental architecture has endured until now, despite different coexisting standards of living, perceptions and uses of the city, and views of the past. In Ouro Preto, while fluctuating populations of tourists and students live mainly in the historic city centre, permanent residents often build their homes in underprivileged and marginalised areas and benefit little from their cultural heritage. Spatial exclusion and preservation policies, allegedly favouring outsiders, boost the divide between residents and newcomers, echoing the colonial past of the city. Disputes around the preservation of the cityscape invited widespread participation. One expectation of increased grassroots participation in cultural heritage sites is that it could expose varied and fluid perspectives of the city, and consequently allow for corresponding, more inclusive uses. However, when looking at local participatory practices in heritage policies, I consider the challenge for grassroots meetings to include different citizens and viewpoints, when the ability to disagree in public debates and participation are restricted by socio-economic conditions. The ethnographic character of this research offers a platform to investigate anthropological questions regarding the role, limits and expectations around cultural heritage and participatory practices in a context of varied socio-economic levels and fluid perceptions of aesthetics, history, and everyday uses of public spaces in a fragmented city.

Public private partnership (PPP) in heritage conservation: the case study of Casa de Cha Long Wa, MacaoChen, Zhaoyu, Vicky., 陈昭宇. January 2013 (has links)
Public private partnership (PPP) is a favorable cooperation mode in delivery of public infrastructure and service projects. This concept is warmly discussed in economic perspective on providing a wide range of general public services. The private sector which involved in the public services work, it helps release public sector’s finance pressure on funds and reduce the risks on conducting the works.
When this PPP concept applied into conservation works, government and private sector utilize resource they have and cooperate with each other to realize ultimate work. In general, PPP is applied in the conservation on government owned property and work for public interest. The scale of the project is typically large and last for a long time. The private sectors which join in the work are organizations at most. It is rarely to see government-individual cooperation in PPP mode. Such cooperation is encouraged, since a successful conservation work is not judged by project scale and length of work, even money spending, but the social continuum to the public. Therefore, the key issue addressed by this dissertation is to documentary the conservation work undertaken in a teahouse in Macao, especially focusing on the PPP work in process. The purpose is to reveal a successful conservation practice applied PPP in a small scale, private owned property, an individual as private sector participated in conservation work.
The dissertation examines historical, cultural and social backgrounds of the teahouse building and approaches primary source by interviewing with stakeholders on their comments and opinions. After collecting information and analyzing results, a framework on judging the success of PPP work is generated at the end which makes this research valuable and unique. The research work could be used as a reference for future study on PPP work with project characteristics like the case discussed in this dissertation. / published_or_final_version / Conservation / Master / Master of Science in Conservation

Examination of the systems of authority of three Canadian museums and the challenges of aboriginal peoplesMattson, Linda Karen 11 1900 (has links)
In order to illustrate why museums are frequently sites of conflict and
mediation, this dissertation examines the complex conditions under which
knowledge is produced and disseminated at three Canadian museums.
Approaching museums as social arenas or contact zones, the dissertation exposes
power struggles in museums and dislodges a whole set of assumptions about what
museums are and how they function.
For the study I selected the following museums with anthropological
mandates: MacBride Museum (Whitehorse), Prince of Wales Northern Heritage
Centre (Yellowknife), and Vancouver Museum (Vancouver). The three museums
were chosen because their geographical proximity to large communities of
Aboriginal Peoples enabled an exploration of the changing relationships between
them. Historically, museums have held the power to classify and define Aboriginal
Peoples. Relatively recently, however Aboriginal Peoples have in various ways
(by imposing constraints on how they and their cultures are exhibited, and through
land claims and repatriation requests) been challenging their historic relationships
with museums.
In chapter one I discuss my objectives, methodology, and the work of those
scholars who shaped this dissertation. Chapter two explores the invention of
museums in the western world and begins linking the three Canadian museums
with knowledge and power. In chapters three, four, and five I portray the mobility
and productivity of three museums (MacBride Museum, PWNHC, and Vancouver
Museum) in three distinct regions of Canada. I illustrate their ability to articulate
identity, power, and tradition as well as the role they perform in the social
organization of power relations. Each chapter begins with a description of the
historical roots of power relations at each institution. This leads into a discussion
of each museum's present system of authority: the state, governing bodies, professional staff and, increasingly, Aboriginal representatives. In the process I
reveal some of the political pressures, institutional hierarchies, and personal
conflicts that shape knowledge within these institutions.
Chapter six is a review and critical analysis of systems of authority of the
three museums and the challenges presented by Aboriginal Peoples. I conclude
with the issues raised at the outset, which continue to confront the Canadian
museum community, issues of inclusion and the limitations of cross-cultural
translation, repatriation, and representation.

Public interpretation of historic archaeology at historic sites in eastern United StatesBailey, Charlene Anne Beaty January 1991 (has links)
Fourteen historic sites in the Eastern United States were evaluated for ways archaeological evidence was used in the development of living history, public education, and other interpretive programs. A wide range of sites, such as outdoor living history museum villages, active urban public archaeology programs, sites associated with well-known archaeologists, and sites where the author had personal experience, were studied.Techniques used to interpret archaeological resources to the public were identified to ascertain which were found to be the most effective in spreading the word about preservation and conservation. Technological advances have expanded interpretive possibilities and allowed innovations not thought possible ten years ago. These advances will continue, and archaeologists will need to stay abreast of innovative techniques in public interpretation in spite of excitement or trepidation. This study may serve as guidelines for museums wishing to establish innovative, but low-budget, interpretive programs. / Department of Anthropology

Heritage politics in Adelaide during the Bannon decade.Mosler, Sharon Ann January 2007 (has links)
Title page, table of contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University of Adelaide Library. / "This thesis argues that during the decade 1983-93 South Australia’s heritage legislation was not effective in protecting Adelaide’s traditional built character. The Bannon government was committed to growth through major developments during an economic recession, and many of those developments entailed at least the partial demolition of heritage-listed buildings." --p. iv. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1277500 / Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of History and Politics, 2007
