Heritage Regimes and the State Universitätsverlag Göttingen Cultural Property, Volume 6 Ed hat happens when UNESCO heritage conventions are ratifi ed by a state? 6 WHow do UNESCO’s global efforts interact with preexisting local, regional and state efforts to conserve or promote culture? What new institutions emerge to address the mandate? The contributors to this volume focus on the work of translation and interpretation that ensues once heritage conventions are ratifi ed and implemented. With seventeen case studies from Europe, Africa, the Carib- bean and China, the volume provides comparative evidence for the divergent heritage regimes generated in states that differ in history and political orga- nization. The cases illustrate how UNESCO’s aspiration to honor and celebrate cultural diversity diversifi es itself. The very effort to adopt a global heritage regime forces myriad adaptations to particular state and interstate modalities of Heritage Regimes building and managing heritage. and the State ed. by Regina F.

Bendix, Aditya Eggert and Arnika Peselmann The present volume is the result of two conferences, both focused on the interface of international heritage regimes and their implementation at the state level. One event was held at the University of Göttingen within the framework of the multi- year interdisciplinary research group 772, “The Constitution of Cultural Property,” from June 17–19, 2011, supported with funds from the German Research Founda- tion (DFG), and also co-organized by the Göttingen Center for Modern Humani- ties. The other set of papers, focusing on the same overall concerns, was initially presented within the framework of the French–German–Italian trilateral inquiry on the impact of Intangible Cultural Heritage under the title “Institutions, territoires et communautés: perspectives sur le patrimoine culturel immatériel translocal.” Held at Villa Vigoni in Loveno di Menaggio, Italy, from June 30–July 3, 2011, par- ticipants were supported by the Maison des Sciences Humaines, the German Re- search Foundation (DFG) and the Villa Vigoni, respectively. In addition to our thanks for the financial support which made these meetings and the present publication possible, we also thank the many students who assisted in carrying out the Göttingen event, and the wonderful staff of Villa Vigoni for the luxurious workshop held in Italy. We would like to express our appreciation fur- thermore to Don Brenneis, Rosemary Coombe and Laurajane Smith who were present as commentators at the Göttingen event and willing to turn their oral comments into written contributions, as well as to Chiara De Cesari, who was not present at either event and was thus capable of offering a concluding, commenting chapter from an outside perspective. A number of individuals participated in the 6 Regina F. Bendix, Aditya Eggert and Arnika Peselmann Göttingen conference who are not included in this volume, but whom we would like to thank for enriching the discussion: Peter Hoerz, Karin Klenke, Sven Mißling, Keiko Miura,

Zusammen mit ihren kantonal- bernischen Mitgliederverbänden präsentieren sie Stein- stossen, Schwingen, Alphornklänge, Volksmusik, Trach- tentänze, Jodellieder und Naturjodel. Der Umzug am Sonntagvormittag des Festes ist eine Art «Parade der Schweizerischen Volkskultur». Seit 1946 findet das Fest regelmässig im Rhythmus von ungefähr zwölf Jahren statt. Die Tradition geht jedoch auf das beginnende 19. Jahrhundert zurück. Die ersten beiden Unspunnenfeste wurden 1805 und 1808 im Nachzug der Helvetik als Schweizer Alphirtenfest von vier Patriziern der Stadt Bern angeregt, um den Stadt- Land-Gegensatz zu überbrücken.

Dee told Dyer that he was overcome or ‘enforced’ by ‘the most intricate, [c]umbersome, and (in manner) lamentable affayres & estate, of this defamed & disordred Colledge of Manchester’.1 In particular, he complained that he was assigned maintenance for himself and his household by the college fellows, and that he was bound by college oath to apply to them in order to earn this ‘right & dignitie’.

  • From Freedom to Bondage: the Jamaican Maroons, 1655-1770
    From Freedom to Bondage: The Jamaican Maroons, 1655-1770 Jonathan Brooks, University of North Carolina Wilmington Andrew Clark, Faculty Mentor, UNCW Abstract: The Jamaican Maroons were not a small rebel community, instead they were a complex polity that operated as such from 1655-1770. They created a favorable trade balance with Jamaica and the British. They created a network of villages that supported the growth of their collective identity through borrowed culture from Africa and Europe and through created culture unique to Maroons. They were self-sufficient and practiced sustainable agricultural practices. The British recognized the Maroons as a threat to their possession of Jamaica and embarked on multiple campaigns against the Maroons, utilizing both external military force, in the form of Jamaican mercenaries, and internal force in the form of British and Jamaican military regiments. Through a systematic breakdown of the power structure of the Maroons, the British were able to subject them through treaty. By addressing the nature of Maroon society and growth of the Maroon state, their agency can be recognized as a dominating factor in Jamaican politics and development of the country. In 1509 the Spanish settled Jamaica and brought with them the institution of slavery. By 1655, when the British invaded the island, there were 558 slaves.1 During the battle most slaves were separated from their masters and fled to the mountains. Two major factions of Maroons established themselves on opposite ends of the island, the Windward and Leeward Maroons. These two groups formed the first independent polities from European colonial rule. The two groups formed independent from each other and with very different political structures but similar economic and social structures.

  • The Labyrinth in Ireland Jeff Saward
    The Labyrinth in Ireland Jeff Saward In a country so steeped in history and with an artistic heritage famously decorated with swirling and spiralling art forms, from the time of the earliest Neolithic rock art through to the Celtic masterpiece of the Book of Kells, it might seem logical to find the labyrinth symbol also abundant in Ireland. Instead there are only a handful of historic examples known, most in connection with churches and monastic locations, but each is quite unique and a good example of their use as a multi-faceted symbol. A Historical Aside The story of how the labyrinth symbol came to occupy the grand naves of the greatest Christian monuments of the Middle Ages and gain acceptance with the Church is long and tortuous. It took nearly a thousand years for this episode in the history of the labyrinth to unravel. The first example of a labyrinth in an obviously Christian setting is to be found in Algeria, North Africa, and provides an illuminating insight into how the labyrinth may have been visualized by the early Christian mind. It is a mosaic pavement labyrinth of typical Roman style, but laid in the floor of the Basilica of St. Reparatus, founded in 324 CE in the Roman town of Castellum Tingitanum (modern- day Chlef). At its centre is a word square comprising the words “Sancta Eclesia” (Holy Church) repeated over and over. Such word squares, or letter labyrinths, were popular with the Romans, and this example, enclosed within a physical labyrinth, has been interpreted by scholars as a depiction of the Civitas Dei (City of God, i.e.
