“Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage, Memory and Identity”

Lesson Objectives
At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to:
1. To examine the different meanings of the concept of cultural property;
2. To consider the relevance of socio-anthropological meaning of cultural heritage;
3. To consider the relationship between cultural heritage and memory and identity of a
community.
4. Know the importance, benefits and advantages of museums.

The idea of cultural objects derives from the idea of cult and from the linkage between
patrimonial fact and religious fact. In the Latin language the word reliquae is linked to the idea of relics:
relics, of saints or heroes, or objects belonged to them, to which the faithfuls devote a cult.

Cultural Objects and the French Revolution

• Enlightenment posed the idea of a complete rupture of the Christian idea of time: introducing
the faith in the human power to build and transform its destiny, the idea of a progressive
concept of time, the relevance of the past to know and define time, present and past.

• French Revolution determined on one hand the idea of a complete destruction of the past
relics, in particular religious, but on the other hand the idea of preserve and manage these relics
as a testify of past and an element of national identity.

• Cultural objects are considered and preserved as elements and testifies of the past: a tangible
proof of a time which existed and now doesn’t exist more.

The Idea of Historic Monument

• There is a difference between monument and historic monument: monument is a creation of


contemporary age for the memory; historic monument is a creation of the past for the memory
of contemporary age.

• The concept of historic monument recollects the idea of sacral devotion, transforming it in the
idea of a laic devotion. The concept of monument is deeply related to the idea of relics.

• Historic monuments contain an exceptional power of evocation of past, something like magic,
because monuments and relics are objects survived to the destruction and – in this way – they
contain something miraculous.

An example of different perspectives around cultural heritage: the Museum and its evolution

• Traditional Museum - The traditional museum


appears – in a certain manner of speaking – very
similar to a cemetery, recollecting, conserving,
exposing, objects and traces of the past

• Museum of living memory - In this case the


museum offers the same objects but proposed
and organized in a different manner, and with
different aims and purposes: they represent a
source to develope a creative sense of the
time and an active perception of the life.

• Museums of science - They passed over the idea of


«collection of objects», being far from a purely
aesthetic satisfaction, and operating a sort of
translation of interest on the objects which represent
the content of a science.
It was not matter of building a museum of
science, neither of exposing the memory and traces of
the history of science, but of explaining and showing
science in its way of change, opening laboratories in
activity, let people participate the origins of a
discovery» (J.P. Maury, Le Palais de la Découverte,
Gallimard, Paris, 1994).

The Museum and the Intangible Cultural Heritage

The emergence of the idea of intangible cultural heritage defines the new role of the museum.
In the definition of the ICOM (2004):

- the museum is a permanent institution, without a lucratif purpose, at the service of society and
its development, open to the public and developing researches around material testifies of
human life and human environment, and them conserving, and exposing for the purposes of
study, education, aesthetic and intellectual satisfaction

The adaptation of the museum to the new concept of intangible cultural heritage derives from
the idea of the so-called “eco-museum”: a museal institution which links – to the development of a
community – conservation, presentation and explanation of the natural and cultural heritage belonging
to this same community, representing a way of life, a certain organization of work, placed in a certain
territorial scene» (A. Desvallées).

The eco-museum is a sort of mirror through which a community observes and recognizes itself,
looking for the explanation of the territory to which it belongs, and together the explanation of the
history of communities having preceeded, considering continuity and discontinuity of generations

Museum and Intangible Cultural Heritage Aims and purposes

• To preserve the identity of a community in front of and against the globalization


• To create a relationship between history, memory and present life of a community
• To preserve and present all the values which constitute the structure of a community
• To create a place of sociability» where cultural expressions of a community can be presented
