前言

As a reservoir of experiences, developed across different cultures, Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) offers inspiring examples of alternative ways of understanding the relationship with nature and the environment, of healing and taking care of each other, of strengthening social bonds and sustaining livelihoods. In this sense, ICH can be an agent for change and a resource for imagining alternative ways of living on an endangered planet, what is conventionally referred to as “sustainable development”.

非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)（ICH）作為不同文化間積淀的寶貴財富，為我們提供了理解自然與環(huán)境關系、實現(xiàn)治愈與相互關懷、加強社會紐帶及維持生計的啟發(fā)性替代方案。從這一角度看，非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)不僅是推動變革的力量，更是我們構想在這顆瀕危星球上可持續(xù)生活方式的重要資源，而這正是我們通常所說的“可持續(xù)發(fā)展”。

The webinar series “Intangible Cultural Heritage and sustainability” brings together the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Intangible Cultural Heritage Chair, explore the concept of“Sustainable development” from each chair's specific perspectives and areas of expertise, such as cultural diversity, education, comparative law, policy and law, applied research, and critical heritage research.

“非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)與可持續(xù)發(fā)展”系列網(wǎng)絡研討會將聯(lián)合國教育、科學及文化組織（UNESCO）非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)領域的各位主席聚集在一起，他們將從各自獨特的視角和專業(yè)領域出發(fā)，深入探討“可持續(xù)發(fā)展”的概念，涵蓋文化多樣性、教育、比較法、政策與法律、應用研究以及關鍵遺產(chǎn)研究等多個方面。

Discussants from different disciplines will join these sessions, with the aim of breaking down the debate after each presentation.

來自不同學科的討論者將參與這一系列會議，旨在每次演講后，將可持續(xù)發(fā)展的主題細化為不同子議題，以便進行更深入的探討。

講座題目：

Indigenous Intangible Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development in Latin America

拉丁美洲的本土非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)與可持續(xù)發(fā)展

講座時間：

2024年12月12日 14:00-16:00（CET）

主講人簡介:

Thiago Burckhartis a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the “UNESCO Chair on Intangible Cultural Heritage and Comparative Law”, University of Rome Unitelma Sapienza, Italy. He holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Law and Processes of Integration from the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” (Italy) and a Master of Research in Constitutional Law from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil). He was a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Law and Political Science at Aix-Marseille University, France (2022). His research and publications focus primarily on cultural heritage law and policy, comparative constitutional law, indigenous peoples’ rights, international human rights law, and biodiversity protection.

主要內(nèi)容:

The safeguarding of indigenous intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in Latin America plays a pivotal role in promoting sustainable development. These cultural elements contribute, directly or indirectly, to biodiversity conservation, natural resource management, and climate resilience, particularly in regions like the Amazon Rainforest, one of the world’s key biodiversity hotspots. Taking this into consideration, this contribution seeks to critically examine the intersection between indigenous ICH and sustainable development, focusing on a case study of the “Oral Heritage and Cultural Manifestations of the Zápara People”, who inhabit areas along the borders of Ecuador and Peru. It will examine the challenges and opportunities involved in the integration of indigenous ICH into national and local sustainable development strategies, as well as the importance of inclusive policies that foster indigenous cultural autonomy and intercultural dialogue. This analysis is divided into three parts: I – Intangible cultural heritage and indigenous rights; II – the case of the “Oral Heritage and Cultural Manifestations of the Zápara People”; III – challenges and opportunities for indigenous ICH in promoting sustainable development.

Nomination Videos as Archives of Cultural Continuity and Transformation: Framing Sustainable Development in ICH Nomination Videos of the 2003 Convention

作為文化連續(xù)與轉型檔案的提名視頻：在2003年公約的ICH提名視頻中構建可持續(xù)發(fā)展

講座時間：

2025年1月23日 14:00-16:00（CET）

主講人簡介:

Jiyun (June) Zhangis a PhD in cultural heritage studies and an independent animation filmmaker. She works as a research associate for the UNESCO Chair on Critical Heritage Studies and the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Brussels Heritage Lab and as a post-doctoral researcher in the ARCHES research group in the University of Antwerp. Current research projects: comparative study of ICH nomination videos, audiovisual interpretation and representation of ICH, media archaeology, and shamanistic expressions of groups in northern China.

主要內(nèi)容:

As the world recognizes culture—especially Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH)—as a vital component in sustainable development, the 2003 Convention takes on a pivotal role, promoting practices that align with the 2030 Agenda and foregrounding a participatory approach. However, questions remain: to what extent do local communities, groups, and individuals (CGIs) actively engage? How effectively does ICH intersect with sustainable development goals (SDGs)? Additionally, the expanding global media landscape accelerates cultural exchanges, generates new forms of digital mediation in heritage-making, and shapes perceptions of reality. In this context, UNESCO faces a growing challenge in managing and interpreting its vast, complex audiovisual archive of ICH.

This webinar addresses these questions by examining UNESCO’s operational audiovisual archives of ICH nomination videos. By analyzing submissions from China, Turkey, and Japan, we investigate how these videos reflect the ambitions of the 2022 Mondiacult strategy to enhance culture’s role in long-term sustainability. Applying insights from media archaeology, we will discuss how these videos document and reframe heritage to address both present and future SDG-related themes, particularly around CGI participation. This session offers a nuanced perspective on how safeguarding ICH can serve as a dynamic force for sustainable development, blending tradition with aspirations for a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future.

ICH for Sustainable Development—A Case Study of the Sijingche Festival in Beishe Village in Shanxi

非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)促進可持續(xù)發(fā)展——以山西省北社村的四景車大賽會為例

講座時間：

2025年2月11日 14:00-16:00（CET）

主講人簡介:

Qiaoni Zhang, after obtaining her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Beijing Normal University, continued her academic Master’s studies in the field of folklore studies. Her research interests focus on the knowledge and practical heritage of how local communities in the mountainous areas of northern China coexist with drought. In this field, she has conducted some fieldwork not only in the Taihang Mountain area in northern China but also in other regions, such as the mountainous areas along the southeast coast of China (Ningde, Fujian) and the plateau mountainous areas in southwestern China (Tongren, Guizhou).

主要內(nèi)容:

Beishe village, located in the eastern part of Changzhi, Shanxi Province, along the western side of the southern Taihang Mountains, is a typical dry farming community with scarce water resources. Each year before spring cultivation, the vibrant Sijingche Festival is held to pray for fertile land, bountiful harvest and favorable weather. This centuries-old tradition not only unites villagers to collectively withstand harsh conditions but also serves as an in-built financial mechanism for village mutual aid, supporting public affairs.

The Sijingche Festival shapes the village’s historical and current social fabric and significantly influences its future development plans. This presentation stems from the project “Training Program for Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritors”. This program, jointly launched by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of China, aims to promote the direct participation of university researchers and students in the protection and inheritance of ICH. Since its implementation in 2015, more than 100,000 people have been involved in this program. In 2024, more than 20 teachers and students from the Department of Folklore at Beijing Normal University, along with 30 local elites and ICH inheritors from the Shanxi Province, conducted a one-month joint fieldwork investigation in the southern mountainous areas of Shanxi.

In this presentation, Qiaoni Zhang, will represent some findings from this collaboration, not only narrating how ICH promotes sustainable development in the drought-stricken mountains but also discussing the role of the “Training Program for Chinese ICH Inheritors” in the protection and inheritance of ICH through his special form of cooperation.

講座題目：

ICH through the prism of Nature/Culture controversies: implications for “knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe”

通過自然/文化爭議的棱鏡看非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)：對“關于自然和宇宙的知識和實踐”的影響

講座時間：

2025年3月25日 14:00-16:00（CET）

主講人簡介:

Anatole Dantois a maritime anthropologist. For 10 years, he has been conducting immersive research in European and Arctic coastal communities. He has led several classification projects in the French ICH inventory, and participated in numerous research projects around Nature-Culture controversies, indigenous issues, heritage conflicts, and socio-environmental changes.

主要內(nèi)容:

The 2003 UNESCO Convention on ICH allows the emergence of a heritage subcategory dedicated to ?knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe?. This subcategory sometimes comes up against the controversies between Nature and Culture that are shaking up our contemporary world.

This communication aims to produce an overview of this issue, based on ten years of work: drafting of ICH inventory documents, in conjunction with the French Ministry of Culture, conducting research projects devoted to this subject, observation of pre- and post-classification situations in France and abroad (Europe). It is particularly interested in local uses described as ?traditional? or ?subsistence? in local environments, notably around the question of conservation and the heritage oppositions that result from this.

講座題目：

Intangible cultural heritage for a sustained presence of minorities in Estonia?

非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)對于愛沙尼亞少數(shù)民族的持續(xù)存在意味著什么？

講座時間：

2025年4月8日 14:00-16:00（CET）

主講人簡介:

Elo-Hanna Seljamaais Associate Professor of Estonian and Comparative Folklore at the University of Tartu and affiliated with its UNESCO Chair on Applied Studies of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Having a long-standing research interest in Estonian integration policies and in quotidian experiences of living with difference, she is curious about how the concept of intangible cultural heritage could be used to advance inclusivity and participation.

主要內(nèi)容:

Since their emergence in the late 1990s, Estonian integration policies have been dominated by an ethnic understanding of nationality. “In addition to Estonians, there are almost 200 nationalities living in Estonia, although three quarters are in very small communities of less than 100 people,” reads the outline provided by the Cultural Diversity Department of the Ministry of Culture on the website of the ministry. The most obvious outcome of state support for national minorities are cultural societies of which there are around 300.

Though many of these organisations have been around for decades and engage in what could be described as safeguarding the intangible cultural heritage of a given minority, other vocabulary and categories have been used to describe and administer their activities and goals. Only recently have state actors begun to invite these societies and their representatives to think of their pursuits in terms of intangible cultural heritage and to inscribe their practices on the Estonian national inventory for intangible cultural heritage, which has precious few contributions from ethnic minorities. The presentation draws on ethnographic fieldwork to provide preliminary insights into these circumstances, asking how the concept of safeguarding has been presented to the representatives of national minorities and how it could be used to envision the futures of these minorities in Estonia: their continued, sustained presence in Estonia as they image it.
