Abstract:

Acts of violence against civilians during conflict is a topic that has been examined increasingly in the literature on civil war. However, a systematic study on the destruction of cultural and religious sites as a strategic means to achieve territorial control has not yet been explored. I examine this aspect of civilian targeting in this project, and I argue that in many cases, combatants use cultural property as a tool to gain territory, coerce civilians, public perception, and degrade the social fabric of a given religion or population. In preliminary research, I have observed that destruction of a population‘s cultural property indicates and precurses a willingness to destroy human lives. Through a cross-national empirical analysis of civil wars in Iraq and Syria after 1990, I anticipate that the destruction of culturally significant objects and sites is not collateral damage during civil war, but rather intentional actions through which combatants achieve and exert power.

Abstract:

This project will be an empirical study into repatriation as a political practice. This theoretically-oriented project investigates how institutions and cultural values mediate changes in the governance of repatriation policy, specifically its formalization and rescaling in the United States. I propose a critical approach to understanding repatriation; specifically, I will draw together issues surrounding museums, repatriation claims, and indigenous communities throughout the development of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) in 1990 and current repatriation policy. The interdisciplinary academic narrative I build will explore practices of repatriation and how it relates to the subject of indigenous cultural rights. Using the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia, PA and the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, IL as models for the repatriation process, I will show the historic political tensions and later attempts to repatriate culturally significant objects and human remains in the United States. By examining entrenched discourses prior to NAGPRA and what changed to allow a new dominant discourse in the debates over repatriation claims, I will show that culturally-structured views on repatriation and narratives surrounding indigenous cultural property were transformed. By examining ownership paradigms and analyzing discourses and institutional power structures, it is possible to understand the ramifications of formalizing repatriation. The current binary of cultural property nationalism/cultural property internationalism in relation to cultural property ownership claims does not represent the full scope of the conflict for indigenous people. Inclusion of a cultural property indigenism component into the established ownership paradigm will more fully represent indigenous concerns for cultural property. Looking at the rules, norms and strategies of national and international laws and museum institutions, I will also argue that there are consequences to repatriation claims that go beyond possession of property and a formalized process (or a semi- formalized international approach) can aid in addressing indigenous rights. I will also ask the question, does this change in discourse develop in other countries with similar settler colonial pasts and indigenous communities, i.e. in Canada, New Zealand, Australia? My work will demonstrate that it does. Essentially, the repatriation conversation does not immediately change in one country and then domino to others. Instead, it is a change that is happening concurrently, comparative to other civil rights movements and national dialogues. The cultural and institutional shifts demanding change appear to have some universal momentum. The literatures to which this research will contribute include: museum studies, institutional practices, material cultural and public humanities, and indigenous right.

Abstract:

This thesis clarifies the nature, scope, and sources of rules governing the affirmative protection of cultural property during armed conflict. These rules include obligations to identify qualifying cultural property, 10 provide material protection to cultural property that is endangered or damaged by military operations, and to safeguard cultural property against destruction and misappropriation. These rules have emerged to supplement the well-entrenched rules of restraint that bar the unnecessary destruction and misappropriation of cultural property during armed conflict. This study traces the development of these rules in the law of armed conflict from the 1899 & 1907 Hague Conventions governing land warfare through the early 21st century. The historical analysis documents the emergence and progression of both conventional and customary rules. It additionally examines the continued validity of critical distinctions on which rules protecting cultural property rested a century ago: between actors from the State where the cultural property is located and actors on another's territory; between hostilities and occupation; and between international and non-international conflicts. Woven within this inquiry, the thesis explores transformative events and policy shifts that have motivated the evolution of rules la protect tangible representations of cultural identity. It considers the impact of developments in the means and modes of warfare, compares the development of protection of cultural property with the development of civilian protection, and examines the influence of the increasing emphasis on the 'cultural value' of protected property over the last century. The thesis concludes by identifying the principal factors that have shaped or com,1rained the development of rules of affirmative protection. It also provides a specific analysis of each of the duties of identification, material protection, and safeguarding. The conclusion details the rules of affirmative protection that exist in the contemporary law of armed conflict and identifies the trajectory of their likely future development.

Abstract:

A government-to-government consultation between the Department of Energy, Nevada Operations Office (DOE/NV) and the Consolidated Group of Tribes and Organizations (CGTO) focused on the interpretation and determination of eligibility for nomination to the National Register of Water Bottle Canyon. The consultation entailed a systematic ethnographic study of the cultural resources found in the Water Bottle Canyon area. The main goal of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of this unique area for contemporary Indian people and its role in Numic cultural landscapes. During the field visits Native American consultants were interviewed with standardized survey instruments and they provided ethnographers with observations, comments, and recommendations regarding the various features found at Water Bottle Canyon. The project involved 10 tribes and one organization. They represent the Indian people who have aboriginal and historic ties to the lands currently under use by the Nevada Test Site (NTS). The study was originally funded as rapid cultural assessment for an environmental assessment for the proposed construction of a rocket launch facility by the Kistler Aerospace Corporation. This present report builds upon first study and the studies that have followed. The four studies expanded upon previous work conducted on the NTS and will contribute to the DOE/NV’s further understanding of and continued efforts to manage and protect American Indian cultural resources.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is about the cultural bargain; the balancing relationship between author monopoly and user affect desires, as applying to the ambiguity of characters. Character culture is a hybrid of the characters that are created and sold by authors with artistic and legal concerns, and the character-affect-relationship of the audience users of those characters. This study examines the law and industry practices in the United States and Canada as it relates to character and the limited scope of the law in defining just what exactly a character is. Also, I examine the major issues in the cultural bargain between the ownership of characters of authors, and the appropriation of characters by audiences, through the dominate arguments for both authors and audiences and the issue of privileged accessibility to characters. By "appropriate", I am referring to any act of an audience member, utilizing a character they do not own, in new ways, that the original author of the character did not give permission for, or approve. Finally, I present my analysis of how the cultural bargain may experience a balance between both authors and audience, by defining characters using the audience affect interpretation as criteria.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the symbiotic relationship between intellectual property (“IP”) law and cultural heritage law, with an emphasis on intangible cultural heritage (“ICH”). These two fields of law have historically operated in relative isolation from each other, but the overlap of subject matter and practical effect of implementation is evident; the actual creative and traditional practices by individuals and communities are the subject matter of both fields. The central thrust of the research is to locate the effects of these two legal fields and to inform policy, research, and legislation when this previously under-considered effect and influence exists. This is accomplished through case studies of ICH and statutory intervention in three countries with diverse ICH: tartan in Scotland; cultural tourism and branding in Ireland, and the Welsh language and eisteddfodau in Wales. These countries were selected as they 1) are geographically proximate, 2) have shared cultural history, 3) are or were recently in a union legal structure with partially devolved governance powers, and 4) are ‘knowledge-based’ economies with strong IP laws. This selection facilitates the dissertation’s original contributions to research, which include highlighting the influence of ICH on IP law and how IP shapes ICH. This interaction challenges the domestic and international differential legal treatment between developed, Global North countries as IP- and knowledge-producing and developing and Global South countries as ICH- and culture-producing. Theoretical patterns emerged from the case studies: namely, first- and second-wave adoption, which is complementary to Hobsbawm and Ranger’s invented traditions; and ‘tangification’, which identifies the process through which ICH becomes IP in a modern legal framework and highlights the risks to ICH integrity as well as the over-extension of IP law. Each of these contributions support the assertion that properly managing risk to and safeguarding ICH, which provides social and economic benefits, can also help to ensure that IP law is functioning in a manner reflecting its jurisprudential underpinnings, facilitating longevity and enforceability of the law.

Abstract:

The research investigates on the fate of the Jewish-owned Cultural Heritage during WWII in Italy and In the particular in Florence and its Province. Starting from the Report of the Anselmi Commission published in 2001 and of the publication of L’Opera da Ritrovare in which is listed the heritage still missing from WWII, the research addresses the issues left pending regarding the management, the transfer, the appropriation, the protection and the looting of the artworks and artistic objects owned by the Italian and foreign Jews during the war. The anti-Jewish legislation. Especially under the Social Italian Republic, had a drastic effects on the property rights and assets. When the Nation provisions were applied from the beginning of 1944, the confiscation orders listed everything: not only silverware, real estate, land, carpets, household objects and personal effects, but also artworks & valuable objects. But in many cases the provisions have acted quite outside the law, engaging pillages and forced appropriation of artworks, for the most part, subsequently proved untraceable. The decisions made the institutions and local public bodies, as the Florentine Head of Province and Prefecture, not only flew in the dace of individual rights but also revealed the clear temptation to become an accomplices of the illegality, or even to act for their own personal advantage. To understand the complexity of this political and cultural climate, the research plan was to predicate upon a precise choice: to consult as many sources as possible in order to throw light on events that involved both individuals and institutions. Crossing the data of the documentation conserved in the Central Archive of the State and in the Florentine public archives with that of the Jewish community and of the heirs of the persecuted, the study re-frame the fate of art and book collections collected in Florence and its Province. Every single collection that the research investigated had a really personal story of taste, value and fate during and after the war. What they have in common is the fact that the all the collections were transferred from the right owners to others possessors – Fascists, Nazis, or common people, inside and outside the city. The result of the investigation through various archival funds shows clearly the right responsibilities amongst individuals and the institutions. In the frame is fundamental the role of the Superintendence of the Galleries of Florence, that while through inefficient regulatory instruments, tried to limit the misappropriation of the many important collections conserved in the Jewish and ‘enemy subjects’ house. The looting that took place in Florence are not limited in the cases that I’m presenting in this research. The information do not reflect the full scale of the seizures that occurred with regard to the cultural Jewish property; many objects of lesser artistic value, quite untraceable yesterday like today, were transfer in/out the city for all the duration of the war and post. The caution becomes necessary when listing the property that has definitely been lost or recovered. The investigation, especially in the criminal trials’ funds, demonstrates that it is determinant do supplementary analysis of acts of despoilment where the ultimate fate of the material seized is still unknown. The research on the Florentine case, due to its complexity, pretend to became a model to be apply in the rest of the country where the attention is not yet focused on this issue. Based on a massive archival investigation through different funds of many archives and on the consolidated international guidelines, the research provides a new prospective of the Italian Shoah studies and in the Nazi Era Looted Art field.

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to improve ways of reducing the damage caused by salts to cultural property. A specific focus of attention is the use of environmental control as a passive measure. Environmental control attempts to specify optimum ranges of relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T), to control salt phase transitions. To undertake environmental control a range of suitable climatic conditions are selected on the basis of thermodynamic calculations. These calculations are used to determine a range of RH and T in which salt phase transitions are minimised, and require very accurate analytical data of the salt content of the object. Unfortunately, in practice it is rarely possible to maintain this close range of RH and T. It therefore becomes necessary to know the speed of salt deterioration at levels of RH and T outside the optimum range, and establish the time it takes for damage to occur. Consequently, for environmental stabilisation measures to be successful, there are two critical areas where further research is mandatory. Environmental control is dependent on reliable information of the object's salt content, and better methods for determining this are needed. Moreover, an understanding of the rate of salt phase transitions is essential, so that the degree of control achieved is sufficient to limit the damage. These two issues are addressed by the present research. The work comprised both ex situ and in situ investigations. A key feature throughout was the use of statistical methods for the design of each component of the project. This approach provided a means of unravelling complex multi factor interactions, and gave clear unequivocal results. Laboratory experiments were undertaken to assess the rate of water vapour sorption by salt-contaminated stone and limeplaster. Experimental design and analysis of variance techniques were used to determine the relative significance of the following kinetic factors: RH, T, airspeed, salt mixture composition, salt concentration, and support type. In situ investigations were carried out at Cleeve Abbey, Somerset, to study the Cl3th wall paintings in the Sacristy over one year. The work included documentation, sampling and analysis of the paintings, and environmental monitoring. The results were subjected to statistical analysis to assess changes in the salt distribution, spatially and over time, in relation to the environmental conditions. The outcome of the ex situ and in situ investigations collectively provide important new information about the kinetics and mechanisms of salt damage, and reveal better practical methods for assessing and ameliorating these problems

Abstract:

The pursuit of cultural heritage conservation is particularly problematic in China as the country has been undergoing substantial changes in its governance processes in the post-reform era. As the regime becomes less authoritarian and more pluralized, a multitude of stakeholders (both state and non-state), are now involved in promoting, constructing, challenging and safeguarding a variety of meanings and values in heritage. This thesis incorporates an urban governance lens to examine the policy and practical problems in conserving urban built heritage in contemporary China. This approach offers a new perspective in understanding the distribution of authority and power between the state and society as well as its effect on the management of public affairs. The reconfigurations of the role of the state, market and civil society have ushered in a new phase of urban politics that have enormous implications for built heritage conservation practices. As a result of reforms, conventional stakeholders have assumed new roles in politics; meanwhile, an increasing variety and number of new stakeholders connected to the non-state sector have also emerged; and their relationships and interactions with the state have become increasingly complex. An urban governance perspective draws attention to the new arrangements embedded in these relationships, which have profoundly impacted the decision-making processes in conservation, re-shaped the interpretation of heritage values, re-defined the scope of heritage and re-thought the use of heritage in Guangzhou. By employing a case-study approach, this thesis provides a detailed analysis of the conservation efforts undertaken by various stakeholder groups in Guangzhou in the post-reform era. Guangzhou is one of the country’s designated historic cities; it is also the provincial capital of Guangdong and has experienced rapid marketization over the past three decades. Three district-specific cases are selected to provide an in-depth analysis on the changing relationships among concerned stakeholders. The case of Shamian Island demonstrates the rigidity and constraints of central-local relation; while the case of Xinhepu discloses the evolving state-market relation. Finally, the case of Enning Road examines the rise of non-state stakeholders and their power struggle against the state. These cases were selected because each of them covers a particular heritage aspect that is directly related to the three-pronged national conservation hierarchical framework. The findings in the three cases respectively reveal the intricacies of conservation politics: the bureaucratic politics in the management and conservation of designated heritage; the struggle between state and society over what legitimate type of history is considered as “national” history and the maintenance of its local significance; and the operation-cum-conservation of heritage assets by market forces in China’s transitional economy. The findings of this thesis contribute to a broadened understanding of the changing roles and functions of the state, market and civil society in China’s transitional period; thus revealing the major deficiencies in the existing institutional and managerial frameworks for built heritage conservation in Guangzhou. This thesis also documents the impacts and outcomes of the actions of various state and non-state stakeholders on the prospect of built heritage conservation at an urban scale in China.

Full text

Abstract:

Cultural mapping is a technique in the field of conservation that is currently gaining popularity. Cultural maps provide a means to better understand an area and produce easily understood documentation of an area’s tangible and intangible cultural assets. These serve as an inventory for the local knowledge and resources of an area. As cities continue to grow and develop, it becomes ever more important to document local traditions and historical sites before they disappear and are forgotten. Cultural mapping provides the means to do this. As the field of cultural heritage conservation has emerged and evolved in Hong Kong, numerous aspects of this city’s heritage and culture have been examined. These have included analyses of Hong Kong’s market culture, temples, food culture, architectural styles and local traditions. One aspect, however, that has been somewhat ignored is Hong Kong’s drinking culture. This is an unfortunate oversight since through the analysis of an area’s drinking culture, a greater understanding of an area as a whole can be achieved. Lockhart Road has a history spanning eighty years and throughout this history it has had a reputation as an entertainment centre. A key feature of this entertainment has involved the consumption of alcohol. In a city such as Hong Kong that has witnessed much change over the last century, it is intriguing to find an area with such continuity in its tradition. It is on account of this that Lockhart Road is an appropriate study area in order to better understand Hong Kong’s drinking culture. This dissertation will focus on 20-86 Lockhart Road as its case study. The purpose is to analyse the area in order to understand its history and evolution, establish its tangible and intangible features, highlight the role and impact of drinking culture and thoroughly document the area to help in making decisions about its future and serve as a model for other similar studies.

Resumo: A atual Floresta Edmundo Navarro de Andrade ¿ antigo Horto Florestal de Rio Claro ¿ SP, Brasil, é analisada nesta tese como um espaço de contradição, portanto entre a memória e o esquecimento. Acentuadas ao longo do tempo e decorrentes do processo histórico de produção, apropriação e usos do território, as contradições atuais apresentam-se ainda mais agravadas, devidos aos impactos ambientais da expansão urbana na sua área de entorno. Nesse sentido, tendo como fio condutor a história do Horto Florestal, esse trabalho procura ressaltar as relações sociais, econômicas, políticas, culturais e ambientais aí estabelecidas. Objetiva principalmente mostrar que o resgate da memória local ¿ individual e coletiva ¿ se faz necessário e urgente, para contribuir com a preservação do seu patrimônio cultural (bens construídos e a floresta). Este resgate da memória, no entanto deverá se dar na perspectiva de uma gestão integrada do território, compreendido como um conjunto inseparável entre o natural e o artificial. Considerando, portanto que objeto de estudo nesta tese compreende uma floresta urbana foi importante buscar uma integração entre sociedade e natureza por meio do entendimento dos aspectos técnicos e humanísticos. Assim sendo, procurou-se integrar uma análise documental (normas de legislação ambiental que regem a unidade de conservação) com as informações coletadas na pesquisa de campo a fim de detectar os conflitos existentes entre os desejos da população e o poder público local. Dessa forma, a Educação Patrimonial como suporte, poderá ser inserida no rol das ações que visem a combater o esquecimento do Horto Florestal por meio do fortalecimento da identidade cultural da população rio-clarense. Para a confirmação dessa hipótese foi importante dar vozes aos interlocutores, ou seja, os envolvidos na pesquisa, tais como: poder público local, os moradores, os visitantes e ONGs
Abstract: The Current Forest Edmundo Navarro de Andrade - former and antique Horto Florestal of Rio Claro - Brazil, is discussed in this thesis as a space of contradiction between memory and forgetfulness. Wide over time and arising from the production, ownership and territorial usage¿s historic process, current contradictions present themselves further aggravated due to the environmental impacts of the urban sprawl in its surroundings. In that sense, with the leitmotif on the Horto Florestal story, this work emphasizes the established social, economic, political, cultural and environmental relations. It aims mainly showing that local memory redemption - individual and collective - is necessary and urgent to contribute to the preservation of its cultural heritage -"the forest itself and its builted assets."This memory rescue, however should be given the perspective of a territorial integrated management, understood as an inseparable set between natural and artificial. Considering that the study object in this thesis abroads an urban forest, it was important to seek an integration between society and nature through both technical and humanistic aspects understanding. Therefore, it has striven to integrate a documentary analysis (standards of environmental legislation governing the conservation unit) with the information collected in the field to identify the conflicts between population demands and local public power. Thus, patrimonial education as a support may be included in the list of actions aimed at combating Horto Florestal forgetfulness, through ¿Rio-clarense¿ population cultural identity strengthening. For this hypothesis confirmation it was important to give an active voice to the interlocutors, namely those involved in research, such as: local public power, residents, visitors and NGOs

Abstract:

Despite the extensive research over the past twenty years on Holocaust related restitution, little is known about the disposal process of ‘heirless’ Jewish cultural property at Central Collecting Points (CCPs) in Germany. This thesis follows the involvement of two institutions in this process: the Bezalel Museum in Jerusalem and the Jewish Museum in New York. In the early 1950s, both museums were used as repositories for a large number of the items shipped from Germany by the staff of the Jewish Cultural Reconstruction (JCR) that was responsible for the allocation of ‘heirless’ Jewish property. By analyzing primary sources from the personal archive of the first director of the Bezalel Museum, Mordecai Narkiss, I will demonstrate the conflicting viewpoints of Narkiss and the JCR personnel that led to the eventual sale of a portion of the objects. After the traumatic events of the Holocaust strengthened the Zionist concept identifying Israel as the only place for the Jewish people, Narkiss went to Europe to find and ship to Israel remaining Jewish cultural objects. This was one aspect of a larger salvage project that several cultural organizations in Israel and in the USA promoted at the time. Narkiss’s unique approach called for the incorporation of all items made or owned by Jews into the category of Jewish art. The foundations for this all-inclusive view are explored through the development of the idea of Kinnus, or ingathering, of cultural artefacts of a people, which stressed the importance of Jewish cultural heritage and shifted in the post-Holocaust years to salvage and later to restitution. Relying on the post-war interpretation of these three leading concepts, Kinnus, salvage and restitution demonstrate the influence of the Holocaust on the formation of the collections of both museums.
