520 $a In October 2003, UNESCO adopted the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. This study investigates the making of that convention and its pivotal concept in the context of the political altercations and diplomatic negotiations that generated them.
520 $a In the 1990s, a reorientation occurred in UNESCO's approach to folklore, away from a European-inspired archival paradigm to an East-Asian paradigm associated with Japanese and Korean programs for "living national treasures." This reorientation reflected widespread disappointment with the 1989 Recommendation for the Safeguarding of Traditional Culture and Folklore and growing dissatisfaction with the World Heritage Convention from 1972. Along with its predecessors, such as UNESCO's Living Human Treasures program and the Proclamation of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, the 2003 convention is a response to their shortcomings, introducing novel concepts and categories and disposing of others, such as authenticity. By realigning the parameters of heritage discourse and refashioning universal categories, Japan and its allies within UNESCO challenge and assert hegemony in the cultural sphere and redraw the balance of power in international heritage forums.
520 $a The study also argues that the intangible cultural heritage is a tool of intervention; it is a normative rather than descriptive concept, which posits value, threat, and moral obligation, transforming people's relationship to their own practices. In particular, the hazard of globalization is inextricable from the intangible heritage and justifies governmental intervention in an effort to safeguard threatened traditions. Such interventions, however, cannot help but restructure the practices designated and integrate vernacular culture into official administrative structures.
520 $a Drawing on governmentality theory, the dissertation also argues that intangible heritage permits a re-location of culture in communities and of communities in a multicultural matrix of organized diversity. As part of the more general communalization of government, intangible heritage is a tool for safeguarding community, a social and moral good perceived to be under threat. By empowering practicing communities to define and designate their intangible heritage and take part in protecting it, the concept and convention offer techniques for subnational and transnational communities to organize themselves as spaces of identification and allegiance. By the same token, however, intangible heritage interventions attempt to fix particular sets of relations as stable units that speak with one voice, and they cement the administrative bonds of the state with its constituent communities, organizing these as instances of unity-in-diversity.
520 $a With reference to the legal concept of the "common heritage of humanity," the dissertation also explores how intangible cultural heritage helps to bring into being the collective subject of humanity. One salient characteristic of the new convention is its particular triangulation between the local, national, and international communities, apparent in they way it distributes authority and in how it interpellates individuals as good neighbors, citizens, and cosmopolitans. The convention organizes multiple identities and loyalties so as to replace discord with concord, ultimately contributing to UNESCO's main mission: to build peace in the minds of men.
