Approaches towards legal protection for holy places: The example of the Alexander Nevsky Church in the Old City of Jerusalem International Journal of Cultural Property (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-09-23 Leonard Hammer
Given the varying degrees of importance that a holy place holds for different parties and the variety of laws used to regulate them, laws pertaining to holy places integrate a broad array of legal, political, social, religious, and economic interests.

The idea of protecting cultural heritage for the benefit of future generations in international cultural heritage law International Journal of Cultural Property (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-09-23 Andreas Giorgallis
Much of today’s academic scholarship of international cultural heritage law circles around cultural heritage’s protection for the benefit of future generations. Despite this, the efforts to systematically examine the concept in more detail are scarcer. This paper seeks to fill this gap by taking a closer look at the ways in which the notion of future generations features in the body of international

Different Materialities – Different Authenticities? Considerations on Watercraft Exhibited in Museums International Journal of Cultural Property (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-09-09 Tobias Schade
Museums are often considered to be spaces of the authentic, where the real, unique and original is exhibited, and where the accurate past is conveyed. By means of two watercraft, Nydam Boat and Kon-Tiki, it is illustrated how their materiality and authenticity are shaped by processes of musealization, reconstruction, restoration and ways of narrating the past and staging exhibits.

This paper discusses some of the major ethical issues that arise in connection with the widespread holding of cultural heritage by private collectors. If, as many people believe, and UNESCO has affirmed, cultural heritage is, in some morally significant sense, everyone’s heritage, then the private acquisition of cultural heritage, although widely permitted in law, raises some significant ethical questions

Excavating the field of heritage law: support, renewal, and iconoclasm International Journal of Cultural Property (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-11-07 Lucas Lixinski
This article maps the field of cultural heritage law, arguing for the need for its renewal, even if at the cost of some iconoclasm of notions we hold dear in our conceptual thinking about heritage.

Crime groups as criminal entrepreneurs – stealing heritage and cultural property: A case study International Journal of Cultural Property (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-09-22 John Kerr
Crime groups are drawn to stealing heritage and cultural property because the thefts can be less dangerous than other illicit activities and there can be a lower chance of detection. In addition, there are financial opportunities such as selling the objects, using them as currency and collateral in illicit markets, and through rewards and ransoms.

Studies on antiquities trafficking have often been overshadowed by research looking at the trafficking of human beings, drugs, and weapons, a fact partly motivated by the arguably higher relevance and greater security implications involved in these other forms of illicit trade. However, the past decade of conflicts in the Middle East has revived an interest in the study of antiquities trafficking networks

Exploring “ownership” of Irish traditional dance music: Heritage or property? International Journal of Cultural Property (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2022-12-20 Luke McDonagh
Dance has rarely been accepted as the subject of copyright protection because works of dance and choreography have lacked commodified property-object status in intellectual property law. If dance is “haunted by its own ephemerality” and, thus, rarely embodied as property, then what of dance music? Music composed, performed, and recorded with a dance audience in mind has formed, on many occasions, the
