| Learning Outcomes (gained knowledge): | Students will understand and accept the diverse and multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological approaches to the intangible cultural heritage, and develop the ability to critically read professional literature, and to apply acquired knowledge in creative and administrative practice, or independent research work. |
| Subject Contents: | The course content provides an insight into the traditional terminology and the current problematics of identifying the phenomenon of intangible culture and defining this specific area of cultural heritage, as well as an overview of cultural-historical, ethnological and anthropological approaches. Through selected examples, students will face ethical dilemmas, risks, problems and challenges of preserving intangible cultural heritage (ICH), strategic planning and methodological approaches, field research and identity mapping at the local level, and master the process and manner of documentation development as well as archiving procedures. Special emphasis is placed on the concepts of preservation and protection, familiarization with applicable legal frameworks and professional standards, as well as the role of various stakeholders in this process (state administration, local self-government, NGOs, individuals, academic community, cultural institutions). The content of the course is highly interdisciplinary, and various aspects of the approach to the problem of intangible cultural heritage will be emphasized by the participation of guest lecturers (max. 25% of participation in the realization of the content). Through the analysis of the selected examples, students will be introduced to the benefits and limitations offered by the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, as well as to the current concepts of sustainable development. Through the realization of the seminar, they will face with the requirements of choosing, creative design, documentation and inventory of elements of the ICH, as well as with the development of a plan that includes the assessment of sustainability and protection measures. |
