Musique et patrimoine immatériel : le cas du “samba de roda” de Bahia

Posted on by
Conférence de Carlos Sandroni, « Midis de Brésil(s) ». Séminaire mensuel pour le débat brésilianiste coordonné par Amanda Dias, Camila Georgetti et Mônica Raisa Schpun

En 2004, le ministère de la Culture brésilien a décidé de soumettre à l’Unesco la « samba de roda » de la région du Recôncavo, dans l’État de Bahia, dans le but de l’inscrire sur la troisième Déclaration des œuvres du patrimoine immatériel de l’humanité. À cette fin, il a été nécessaire d’élaborer un dossier de candidature avec des informations, des photos, des vidéos et des enregistrements. Un ethnomusicologue a été recruté pour diriger la réalisation de ce dossier. Au cours de ce processus, d’innombrables questions ont émergé concernant la samba et la représentation des cultures subalternes, sur l’identité nationale, les politiques publiques liées au patrimoine culturel, et l’idée d’une ethnomusicologie « engagée ». La candidature brésilienne a été acceptée par l’Unesco à la fin de l’année 2005. Depuis lors, les débats autour de ces questions reste vivant et prend de nouvelles dimensions.

European Year for Cultural Heritage 2018 Information Event (Athens, 18/12/2017)

Posted on by

The Directorate of Modern Cultural Heritage (DMCH) organised the Cultural Heritage Information Event in order to inform about the European Year for Cultural Heritage 2018 cultural associations, the local governance and institutions working on tourism, “traditional agro-food producers”, environmental education centres and other heritage-related institutions. There, the DMCH informed the attendees about i) what the European Year for Cultural Heritage 2018 is, ii) the procedure of how heritage related organisation could incorporate their events and activities in the schedule of the activities of the European Year for Cultural Heritage 2018 and be allowed to use its logo, and iii) how the institutions could collaborate with DMCH in the valorisation of Intangible Cultural Heritage through these activities.

The event attracted many representatives of Intangible Cultural Heritage institutions which have inscribe an element on (Greek) National list of Intangible Cultural Heritage as well as others who are working towards the inscriptions of an element. The audience had many questions and was keen to receive the European Year for Cultural Heritage as it was seen as a way to disseminate their activities, help the safeguarding of their element and possibly attract some economic capital that will be ‘invested’ in safeguarding activities.

It was an event which the UNESCO Friction project was present looking at the ways that the implementation of the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage could crossover with European policies and their implementation. 2018 will be a very active year in Europe that discussions about Cultural Heritage will reemerge and the UNESCO Friction project will continue to analyse the creative frictions which will arise from the crossovers of transnational policies with National ones as well as with practices of the local actors.

The inscription of the “Art of Neapolitan ‘Pizzaiuolo’” on the Representative List generated considerable media attention. Some members of the “community” were present at the meeting in Korea. Representatives of the Associazione pizzaiuoli napoletani and Associazione verace pizza napoletana included some of the Australian, Japanese and Korean members of these associations.

Jeju, Korea 1-3 December 2017

NGOs accredited to the ICH Convention build their capacities in the field of ICH safeguarding. For three days they have been engaging in brainstorming, role plays, presentations, film screenings, world cafe….

Fully aware of the growing role they play in the Convention, they reflected on their relationship to states and “communities”, on their roles in the implementation of the Convention and on the dilemmas of wearing different hats.
