Is it possible to appropriate cultural life? Commodification and patrimonialization of cultural commons
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.3989/isegoria.2022.66.19Keywords:
Common cultural goods, Immaterial cultural heritage, Cultural appropriationAbstract
Cultural commons are both a de facto common pool, as well as the aspiration that this common pool should be as large and as rich as possible. Cultural life is a specific common good that represents such an aspiration, and it is one of the human rights included in the Universal Declaration of 1948. After analyzing the features of this cultural common good, including its global dimension, it is addressed how privatization of other cultural commons influences on the cultural life of humanity, as well as the relationship between cultural life and cultural appropriation.
