United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognizes various historical sites as world heritage sites (WHSs). A historical heritage represents the cultural tradition of people, to whom it grants the essence of their diversity. In 2003, UNESCO expanded the area of cultural protection to include other heritage assets known as “intangible cultural heritage” (ICH). The Fiesta of the Patios celebrated in the city of Córdoba (Spain) was recognized as an ICH by UNESCO in 2012. The problem this research analyzes is studying and understanding whether the tourists who participate in an event registered as an ICH have the same motivations as the tourists who visit a specific WHS have. This research is thus to find out the segmentation of tourists who wish to discover ICHs using two models: Poria et al. and McKercher. On the basis of this segmentation, four groups of tourists of WHS were identified: alternative, cultural, emotional, and heritage. In addition, in this research, three motivational dimensions were detected when visitors decide to attend the Fiesta of the Patios: hedonic, cultural, and convenience.

Angklung consists of two to four bamboo tubes suspended in a bamboo frame, bound with rattan cords. The tubes will produce certain notes when the frame is shaken or tapped. Each angklung produces a single note or chord, so several players must collaborate in order to play melodies. Traditional Angklungs use the pentatonic scale, but in 1938 musician Daeng Soetigna introduced Angklungs using the diatonic scale, known as angklung padaeng. Angklung is closely related to traditional customs, arts and cultural identity in Indonesia, played during ceremonies such as rice planting and harvest. Angklung education is passed down orally from generation to generation, and increasingly in educational institutions (Prodi Angklung and Musik Bambu ISBI Bandung. Angklung has been included in the UNESCO’s (United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization) list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity. This paper discusses the interesting things about the angklung. Especially the process of traditional angklung that developed into the modern angklung and then both has been worldwide as Indonesian culture heritage.

Abstract:Intangible cultural heritage elements are shared across state borders. In many instances, states join in multinational nominations to inscribe the heritage element in a way that reflects this reality. But, at times, states are unwilling or unable to cooperate in a mutual nomination that reflects the shared nature of the heritage element. The consequence of this is that heritage elements can then be nominated by individual states without any reflection of the multinational or cross-border nature of the element; thus leaving the heritage elements shorn of this aspect of their nature. The current international heritage legal regime, through the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, does not adequately acknowledge or address this problem. This article, through a case study of the successful nomination by Azerbaijan of the horseback game of chovqan, examines the causes and consequences of these “fractured resemblances.” It analyzes the links between cultural heritage, conflict, and the use of heritage as a form of soft power. It focuses on the use of single-state inscription as a soft-power means of obtaining international prestige and support and the resultant effects on shared cultural heritage elements. From this, suggestions for changes to international heritage laws for the inscription of cultural heritage are suggested to accommodate the reality of the connection between cultural heritage, conflict, and power and to avoid the occurrence of “fractured resemblances” of heritage shared across state lines.

The city of Cordoba (Spain) stands out due to the fact that it has different inscriptions both in the List of World Heritage Sites and the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (LICH) of UNESCO. In 2012 the Fiesta of the Patios was inscribed on the LICH. Currently, this event held during two weeks in May involves visits by the public to traditional dwellings. This event is becoming a magnet for tourists from outside the city and has established itself as a further tourist attraction, with the risk that it may lose part of its authenticity. This paper aims to use the hedonic price methodology to examine the externalities deriving from the “Fiesta” in order to verify whether the possible benefits/disadvantages of its existence are capitalised in real estate prices and quantify these effects. The results indicate that the “Fiesta” constitutes an added value for housing properties.

This work aimed at discussing the association made between the anthropological concept of culture and the broadening of the scope of the notion of heritage that has occurred since the beginning of the 21st century, specifically with regard to the policies established for the protection of intangible cultural heritage. It has been argued that because it is polysemic, the anthropological concept of culture had been related to the notion of heritage since the first quarter of the 20th century, that is, almost a century before. What has changed is the meaning attributed to both categories. In addition, it was discussed that an expansion of the heritage category is the result of the action of the most diverse social actors in the demand for differential cultural rights, operating with a specific political-cultural grammar, which dynamized enunciations such as multiculturalism, cultural diversity and representation, seeking a non-hierarchical vision of culture, which directly impacted on the conceptualization of heritage and the policy of protection of cultural goods. To this end, as a way of delimiting the discussion, it was decided to work with documents produced by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in the period, since it is a protagonist agent and arena with regard to policies for the protection of cultural goods. Keywords: heritage, anthropological concept of culture, immaterial heritage, cultural diversity.

This article conceptualises the institutional narrative of the reconstruction of Stari Most (Old Bridge), regarded as an international symbol of reconciliation in Mostar, Bosnia–Herzegovina, as a staged reconciliation of the city. Constructed during Ottoman occupation Stari Most became a signifier of Mostar and was central to the growth of the city. Stari Most was destroyed in 1993 during the Bosnian war; restoration began five years following, and the bridge alongside Stari Grad (Old Town) was reopened as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) heritage site in 2004. UNESCO began operating in 1945 on the grounds that ‘peace must be established on the basis of humanity’s moral and intellectual solidarity’, based on a collaborative effort to celebrate diversity and innovation. In this article I conceptualise Stari Most as a stage of memory through identifying, firstly, the institutional staging of the reconstruction as a structure which ‘bridges’ divides, and secondly, the institutional narrative of the bridge as a symbolically reconciling structure, in a city which remains divided.

El inicio de la agricultura en el Continente Americano inició en lo que actualmente se conoce como México. A partir de la gran diversidad geográfica fueron surgiendo diferentes productos y una especialización en su siembra y cuidados, a fin de obtener el mejor rendimiento de los mismos. Fue necesario conocer el clima, las calidades de la tierra y  el tiempo a fin de establecer los ciclos agrícolas que dieron como resiltado una gran variedad de plantas que representaron la base de la alimentación de los pueblos mesoamericanos.La llamada Conquista de México trajo consigo nuevos métodos agrícolas, herramientas, animales de tiro y carga y, por supuesto, una gran cantidad de plantas que muy pronto se adaptaron a la geografía de la Nueva España. ABSTRACTThe emergence of agriculture in Mexico was a factor of great relevance, which allowed the development of Mesoamerican cultures more than three thousand years of history. The geographical location of the different ethnic groups that inhabited this region allowed the cultivation of a wide variety of plants, such as corn, beans, pumpkin and chili, basic products in the Mesoamerican diet, as well as other products were developed according to the geographic characteristics and climatological, such as cocoa, from which chocolate is obtained, and even vanilla, being appreciated all over the world. Those original products were mixed with those brought by Europeans in the sixteenth century and this gave rise to Mexican cuisine, which in 2010 was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).Key words: Mesoamerican cultures, Mexican gastronomy, Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
