ABSTRACT

This article explores the needs and expectations of migrant and refugee communities in several European countries in relation to communicating and sharing their intangible cultural heritage (ICH) practices, and of cultural and civic institutions that plan to support this. Based on two empirical studies, we report on the perspectives of cultural institutions, NGOs that are active in cultural work, and representatives of migrant and refugee communities. This work sheds some light on the complex relationship between migrant communities and institutions with regard to ICH, and identifies the gaps and differences between these perspectives so as to produce guidelines and recommendations on how to bridge grassroots’ interests in ICH and cultural institutions, as well as organisations engaged in cultural work with migrant and refugee communities. The overall goal is to address the under-representation and marginalisation of many migrant and refugee communities in cultural heritage participation, production, and safeguarding and to propose ways to activate the potential of ICH.

摘要

本文探讨了几个欧洲国家的移民和难民社区在交流和分享其非物质文化遗产 (ICH) 实践方面的需求和期望，以及计划支持这一点的文化和公民机构的需求和期望。基于两项实证研究，我们报告了文化机构、活跃于文化工作的非政府组织以及移民和难民社区代表的观点。这项工作揭示了移民社区和机构之间在非物质文化遗产方面的复杂关系，并确定了这些观点之间的差距和差异，从而就如何弥合基层对非物质文化遗产和文化机构的兴趣提出了指导方针和建议，以及作为与移民和难民社区开展文化工作的组织。
