The religious festivities are integrated into the extensive inventory of the intangible cultural heritage of Mexico. The continuity of their practice stimulates social cohesion, collective identity, peace and ecological awareness. Such manifestations are susceptible to patrimonialization due to their symbolic ex‑ pression and their economic potential in the face of the tourism model, they respond to the imperatives of late capitalism that tends to commodify and homogenize cultural diversity. We study the religious festivities of localities of Bahía de Banderas, in particular that of Nuestra Señora de la Paz in Bucerías and that of Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Tintoque in Valle de Banderas, in order to understand the dominant trends in the processes of patrimonialization. The objective is to contribute to the knowledge of the patrimonial wealth of the coastal towns that have been subject to tourism and with it, develop the methodological instruments to fill out the information sheets of the inventory of festivities in the region.

У рамках імплементації Конвенції про охорону нематеріальної культурної спадщини вивчено заходи культурної політики, що заклали основи для втілення новітніх політичних підходів, механізмів і програм. У контексті виконання міжнародно-правових стандартів UNESCO та положень Конвенції визначено курс на аналіз, збереження й розвиток культурного розмаїття та надбання. Умотивована необхідність формування стратегії культурної політики у галузі збереження нематеріальної культурної спадщини, що полягає у проектуванні й затвердженні культурних проектів національного й регіонального спрямування. Враховано наявну ускладнену ситуацію щодо ролі місцевої влади та обмеженість бюджетного фінансування в країні загалом. Встановлено, що дії, що сприятимуть виявленню елементів нематеріальної культурної спадщини, організації та реалізації заходів щодо її збереження в Україні повинні стати цільовими пріоритетами. Cultural policy measures within the framework of the implementation of the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage are examined. A course on the analysis, conservation and development of cultural diversity and heritage in the context of the implementation of UNESCO international legal standards and the provisions of the Convention has been determined. The necessity of developing a strategy of cultural policy formation in the field of preservation of the intangible cultural heritage, which consists in the design and approval of cultural projects of national and regional orientation, is substantiated. The complicated situation regarding the role of local authorities and the limited budget financing in the country are taken into account. It is established that the priority should be given to actions that will help identify elements of the intangible cultural heritage, develop and implement measures for its preservation in Ukraine.

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian bodily discipline that has now become a global phenomenon. In 2014 the cultural significance of capoeira was recognized on the world stage when it was awarded the special protected status of an ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’ by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation. In the application to this organisation, and in wider advertising material and practitioner literature, capoeira is celebrated as a practice that promotes social cohesion, inclusivity, integration, racial equality and resistance to all forms of oppression. This paper seeks to problematize this inclusive discourse, exploring the extent to which it is both supported and contradicted in the gendered discourses and practices of specific capoeira groups in Europe. Drawing upon ethnographic data, produced through two sets of ethnographic research and the researchers’ 24 years of combined experience as capoeira players, this paper documents the complex and contradictory contexts in which discourses and practices of gender inclusivity are at once promoted and undermined.

O reconhecimento da capoeira como Patrimônio Cultural Imaterial da Humanidade pela UNESCO contribui para a valorização e a visibilização dessa prática de resistência negra brasileira a ná­vel mundial, mas também implica certas ressignificações em face das possá­veis essencializações. Portanto, consideramos necessário um olhar filosófico sobre a capoeira, dando ênfase aos saberes ancestrais e á  sua articulação no contexto da desigualdade sociorracial. O caminho percorrido neste artigo engendra aportes teóricos multidisciplinares, juntando conceitos que dialogam entre a filosofia da diferença de Foucault, Deleuze e Guattari e as perspectivas e reflexões sociogeográficas. Defendemos a ideia de que o mestre de capoeira representa um filósofo diaspórico que cria um espaço de possibilidades para coletividades marginalizadas e fortalece uma pedagogia da (re)existência negra. Entretanto, a capoeira se inscreve num campo diná¢mico, afetado por diferentes interesses econômicos, polá­ticos e morais, com os quais o mestre precisa articular agenciamentos que salvaguardem os mais perceptá­veis traços filosóficos da capoeira.Palavras-chave: Mestre de Capoeira. (Re)existência. Desigualdade.  THE MASTER OF CAPOEIRA: strengthening philosophies and practices of black (re)existence in the face of socioracial inequalitiesAbstract:  Since capoeira has been recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO, this Brazilian practice of black resistance has been increasingly valorized and visibilized at a global level. But this also implies certain resignifications in the face of possible essentializations. Therefore, we consider it necessary to provide a philosophical perspective on capoeira, emphasizing ancestral knowledge and its articulation in the context of socioracial inequality. In this article, we use a multidisciplinary approach, establishing a dialogue between the philosophy of difference of Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, and socio-geographical perspectives and reflections. We defend the idea that the ”˜mestre”™ (master) of capoeira represents a diasporic philosopher who creates a space of possibilities for marginalized collectivities and promotes pedagogics of black (re)existence. Meanwhile, capoeira is part of a dynamic field affected by different economic, political and moral interests, with which the 'mestre' needs to articulate entanglements that safeguard the most perceptible philosophical traits of capoeira.Keywords:  Mestre of capoeira.

AbstractThe Banda Primitiva de Llíria is presented as an open heritage resource, which has been built on the uses, values and symbols assigned to it by the local town of Llíria and its inhabitants over the musical society’s two centuries of history. This work focuses on analysing how this musical phenomenon contributes to positioning creativity and cultural industries at the centre of local development, reinforcing the identity elements of Llíria and the Valencian Region. It intends to support the safeguarding, respect and awareness of one of the oldest civic bands in Spain, providing greater visibility and creating positive recognition of the fundamental importance of this form of intangible cultural heritage for social cohesion and development, in an environment that is transformed into one of collective action, shared culture and creativity.

Abstract This article examines the inventorying of Finnish intangible cultural heritage with regard to UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. I analyse the participatory Wiki-inventory for Living Heritage, concentrating on entries that discuss food and foodways to study how food, materiality, and the national intertwine with practices of producing intangible cultural heritage. The article’s theoretical background draws from the fields of banal nationalism and critical heritage studies. Food is eminently important in narratives of Finnishness: by using the concepts of naturalness and pastness, I show how Finnish food becomes interpreted as ‘authentic’ Finnish heritage. The concepts illuminate the complex processes in which the materiality of food, the Finnish terroir and landscape, narratives of the past, and the consumer who prepares, eats, and digests the heritagised food are tied to each other. These processes reinforce the banality of Finnishness, although the practices of inventorying paradoxically strive for the ideal of cultural diversity that UNESCO promotes.
