Abstract

The author advocates the use of the phrase “intangible culture”
instead of “intangible cultural heritage”. The word “heritage”
implies a certain fixity and immutability, and assumes that authorities have identified and proclaimed heritage. Dealing
with intangible culture would provide the opportunity for the deflection of the UNESCO model of preserving intangible cultural phenomena, whose application has brought some problems. The author illustrates this in practice with the example of bell-ringers,
who are included on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Keywords

intangible heritage; UNESCO; bell-ringers; Intellectual Property
