:In 2003, the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (UNESCO ICH Convention) formalized provision for forms of heritage not solely rooted in the material world. This expanded the scope and accessibility of cultural heritage rights for communities and groups. To much commentary and critique, the United Kingdom (UK) infamously decided not to ratify the UNESCO ICH Convention. This article examines the implications of the UK’s decision not to ratify the Convention for the cultural heritage and human rights of an asylum-seeking group in Glasgow, Scotland, namely, the Glasgow Bajuni campaigners, members of a minority Somali clan. Based on participatory ethnographic fieldwork with the group and analysis of their asylum cases, this article makes two observations: first, that the UK’s absence from the Convention establishes a precedent in which other state actors (that is, immigration authorities) are emboldened to advance skepticism over matters involving intangible cultural heritage and, second, that despite this, limitations in current provisions in the UNESCO ICH Convention would provide the group with little additional protection than they currently have. Developing these observations, we critique current UK approaches to intangible cultural heritage as complicit in the maintenance of hierarchies and the border. Finally, we consider the extent to which the current provisions of the UNESCO ICH Convention might be improved to include migrant and asylum-seeking groups.

在文化遗产权利的界限?格拉斯哥巴朱尼运动和英国移民系统:案例研究

:2003 年,《保护非物质文化遗产公约》(UNESCO ICH 公约)正式规定了不仅植根于物质世界的遗产形式。这扩大了社区和群体文化遗产权的范围和可及性。对于许多评论和批评,英国(UK)臭名昭著地决定不批准联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产公约。本文探讨了英国决定不批准苏格兰格拉斯哥寻求庇护团体的文化遗产和人权公约的影响,即格拉斯哥巴朱尼活动家,索马里少数部落的成员。基于对该小组的参与式民族志实地调查和对其庇护案例的分析,本文提出了两个观察结果:首先,英国缺席该公约开创了一个先例,在该先例中,其他国家行为者(即移民当局)有胆量对涉及非物质文化遗产的问题提出怀疑,其次,尽管如此,联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产公约的现行规定仍受到限制将为该组织提供的额外保护比他们目前拥有的要少。发展这些观察,我们批评当前英国处理非物质文化遗产的方法是维护等级制度和边界的同谋。最后,我们考虑了可以在多大程度上改进联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产公约的现行条款,以纳入移民和寻求庇护的群体。移民当局)有胆量对涉及非物质文化遗产的问题提出怀疑,其次,尽管如此,联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产公约中现行条款的限制将给该群体提供的额外保护很少。发展这些观察,我们批评当前英国处理非物质文化遗产的方法是维护等级制度和边界的同谋。最后,我们考虑了可以在多大程度上改进联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产公约的现行条款,以纳入移民和寻求庇护的群体。移民当局)有胆量对涉及非物质文化遗产的问题提出怀疑,其次,尽管如此,联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产公约中现行条款的限制将为该群体提供比目前所拥有的更多保护。发展这些观察,我们批评当前英国处理非物质文化遗产的方法是维护等级制度和边界的同谋。最后,我们考虑了可以在多大程度上改进联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产公约的现行条款,以纳入移民和寻求庇护的群体。我们批评英国目前处理非物质文化遗产的做法是维护等级制度和边界的同谋。最后,我们考虑了可以在多大程度上改进联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产公约的现行条款,以纳入移民和寻求庇护的群体。我们批评英国目前处理非物质文化遗产的做法是维护等级制度和边界的同谋。最后,我们考虑了可以在多大程度上改进联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产公约的现行条款,以纳入移民和寻求庇护的群体。
