Journal of Cultural Management and Cultural Policy/Zeitschrift für Kulturmanagement und Kulturpolitik: Vol. 9, Issue 2: Safeguarding the Future – Cultural Heritage and the Intangible Past

Intangible cultural heritage refers to the practices, expressions, skills, knowledge, and cultural spaces that cultural communities use to represent, share, and pass down cultural identities. This issue explores the sustainability of intangible cultural heritage, increasingly at risk from contemporary, commercial, and political forces. With special focus on performing arts, the contributors cover issues pertaining to the intangible past including policies, management practices, juxtapositions of innovation and tradition, cultural integrity, cultural value, and relevant ethical questions.
