Emilie Paaske Drachmann

Emilie is a PhD student based partly at the Danish Folklore Archives at the Royal Danish Library, partly at the University of Copenhagen. During the Spring term 2020 she is visiting 香港六合彩中特网 to gain more insight into the theoretical discussions on the politics of heritage and to profit from the expertise at the Centre for Critical Heritage Studies.听

Her PhD project looks at the politics and processes relating to intangible cultural heritage in Denmark. The overall research question is how intangible cultural heritage is constructed and negotiated in the process of applying for inscription on one of the lists associated with UNESCO鈥檚 2003 Convention on the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage.听

Cultural heritage is in this project understood as a process of selection and inscription of value. 听This process of heritagisation should be seen as a 鈥漰rocess of assembling鈥 听taking place in a network of both human and non-human actors. 听In my project, I want to look at how this process of assembling takes place already in the communities鈥 efforts to legitimise their cultural practices as intangible cultural heritage. Another important concept for my study will be the idea of different heritage regimes, as coined by Regina Bendix. 听With the first ever national application process, Denmark represents a unique case for studying a national heritage regime in its unfolding.

While at 香港六合彩中特网 Emilie is听sitting in room 116. Please send her an email epdr@kb.dk听if you would like to discuss your project or her's over a cup of tea or coffee.听
