Conference on Intangible and Tangible Cultural Heritage
At the conference the following questions are asked:
- Is the division of tangible and intangible heritage a constructive dichotomy? Should we reinforce or deconstruct this division? Are the codified definitions for intangible and tangible heritage sufficient? On what basis are these boundaries defined and when are they blurred? Does this dichotomy cover all possible manifestations of heritage or are there aspects still ignored?
- How do prescribed notions of intangibility translate into policy and practice? How do the current developments affect methods of intangible preservation? Does the act of safeguarding intangible heritage ossify, commodify or otherwise interfere or transform it? Can we identify improved instruments for intangible curation and where might we look for these?
- What new questions do current debates about tangible and intangible heritage raise for established concepts such as value, sustainability and authenticity? What are the implications for heritage research, management and museums? Is it constructive to reorient and reappraise the materiality of heritage?

The conference program reads very interesting.

I already reported earlier on the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. The articles can be found in the category intangible heritage.

Hi, everybody. I am going to get married but my boyfriend and I are still running credit card debt we made when at college yet. They say that we'd better improve our credit ratings if we want to apply for a loan to celebrate the wedding. So, now we both are looking for bad or fair credit card applications to repair our scores. We wonder if
