Duni zuz ‘utilnilh, ‘tanning moose-hide’: weaving Dakelh (Indigenous) intangible cultural heritage transmission with academia

After many years of colonisation and oppressive policies, Indigenous cultures in Canada are reviving elements of their cultural heritage. As such, numerous Indigenous communities are working with higher learning institutions to safeguard elements of their heritage, specifically, knowledge and land-based practices. In this article, we discuss one case study of Dakelh (Indigenous) knowledge- holders that merged the practice of traditional moose-hide tanning with academic components surrounding issues in cultural heritage. With the intention of transmitting information about the field of ICH as well as safeguarding one Dakelh intangible cultural heritage element, we developed an experiential-learning university course that grounded theoretical issues in Indigenous cultural heritage. In discussing our methodology of merging the two ways of learning and teaching, including the benefits and challenges of such a course, the article elaborates how the combination of traditional and academic methodologies in a university setting can help Indigenous communities transmit their intangible cultural heritage to younger generations.

The Participation in the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage: The role of Communities, Groups and Individuals

The aim of this book is to understand whether participatory methodologies are being applied in the safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) or not. If it is possible to identify problems, advantages, good practices or clues that support new and more effective participatory techniques.

Confronting the theory with the practices, the author concluded that the participation of communities, groups and individuals (CGIs) is still residual. In the scope of ICH safeguard projects, Filomena Sousa identifies five aspects that make this difficult to achieve: 1) excessive centrality of the States in the heritagization process; 2) diversity of interpretations of the concepts; 3) deficit of information among the CGIs; 4) deficit of experience in the improvement of teams composed of different actors and 5) deficit of methods and professionals to operationalise the participation.

After describing each of these obstacles, the author presents a methodological suggestion that can be adapted to different moments of the safeguarding process, which should be understood as flexible and adaptable according to the cultural contexts.


O objetivo deste livro é perceber se as metodologias participativas estão a ser aplicadas no âmbito da salvaguarda do Património Cultural Imaterial (PCI). Nesta obra a autora identifica dificuldades, vantagens, boas práticas e pistas que sustentam novas e mais eficazes técnicas de participação.

Do confronto da teoria com as práticas conclui-se que, sendo a participação das comunidades, grupos e indivíduos (CGIs) enfatizada nos discursos, na realidade, esse envolvimento ainda é residual. A autora identifica cinco aspetos que dificultam essa concretização: 1) a excessiva centralidade dos Estados nos processos de patrimonialização; 2) a diversidade das interpretações dos conceitos; 3) a falta de informação entre os CGIs; 4) a falta de experiência na dinamização de equipas compostas por diferentes atores e 5) a falta de método e de profissionais para operacionalizar a participação. 

Filomena Sousa apresenta ainda uma sugestão metodológica que poderá adequar-se às diferentes fases do processo de salvaguarda e que deve ser entendida como modal e adaptável conforme os contextos culturais.

Patrimoine culturel immatériel

Depuis l’adoption, par l’UNESCO, de la Convention pour sa sauvegarde, le patrimoine culturel immatériel a pris une importance grandissante dans le monde académique, d’abord dans les programmes de recherche, puis dans les formations universitaires. Face au constat que la librairie francophone n’offre aucun support écrit quelque peu systématique couvrant largement les matières liées au PCI, les enseignants de la Formation en PCI des universités de Liège et de Namur ont décidé de publier un tel manuel, interdisciplinaire. Ethnologue, historien, juriste, économiste du tourisme, géographe, archéologue, muséologue, spécialiste de la communication… les auteurs du présent ouvrage reflètent une large diversité de disciplines et d’origines géographiques. Destiné à l’ensemble du monde francophone – voire au-delà – le manuel accueille aussi des regards de spécialistes sur la situation de la politique du PCI en Belgique, France, Québec, Suisse et Afrique francophone. L’ouvrage vise à cerner la notion et à en comprendre les enjeux, à dresser un état des lieux des politiques de sauvegarde et à donner des outils méthodologiques. Certains textes sont essentiellement pratiques, d’autres sont descriptifs, d’autres encore, réflexifs. Des analyses de cas offrent aux lecteurs des clés pour la compréhension du phénomène et de ses manifestations concrètes.
