TA36 – UNESCO

Posted by Tom Lohninger. 1 Comment

Die UNESCO ist wahrscheinlich die bekannteste Sonderorganisation der vereinten Nationen. Oft als das Gehirn der UN oder Welt-Kultusministerium bezeichnet, gibt es viel Halbwissen über sie und ihre weltweiten Aktivitäten. Mein heutiger Gast Christoph Brumann hat Feldforschung in der “Arena” der UNESCO betrieben und organisierte einen Workshop im Rahmen der DGV Tagung.

Themen: 

  • die UNESCO
  • Konvention zum materiellen und immateriellen Kulturerbe
  • Entscheidungsfindung in der UNESCO
  • Lokale Auswirkungen des Globalen Kulturstatus auf Nationalstaaten und betroffene Regionen
  • Brumanns Feldforschung in der Arena der UNESCO
  • der Kulturbegriff in der UNESCO und seine Kritik
  • Das Problem mit Definitionen in Konventionen
  • der Kulturbegriff in der Anthropologie und auf der DGV Tagung
  • der amtliche Kulturbegriff
  • der Workshop zur UNESCO auf der DGV Tagung
  • Begriffswandel in der Anthropologie/Ethnologie/Völkerkunde

Da Kriege im Geist der Menschen entstehen, muss auch der Frieden im Geist der Menschen verankert werden.” Aus der Präambel der UNESCO

TA35-What’s in a copy

Posted by Tom Lohninger. 3 Comments

In this episode you hear the keynote speech of Gustavo Lins Ribeiro – a famous Brasilian Anthropologist – with the title “What’s in a copy“. He gave this speech at the biannual conference of the german society of ethnology in the austrian academy of science .
The introduction to the speaker is held by Prof. Andre Gingrich and after the talk we had time for a short interview. The publication of this material on Talking Anthropology is authorized by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro.

 

This interview is the first of a series I did during this conference, so more will come soon. ;-)
