This thesis provides a critical examination of how dance teachers rationalize pedagogies of cultural heritage dances in varied nonacademic environments in central Uganda. The study examined the reflections and practices of eight cultural heritage dance teachers to reveal how application of these pedagogies is a method of thought and inquiry – knowing and thinking, framework of ‘transformance’ – becoming, system of cultural practice – being, and means of creating and expression – doing and embodying. The study was guided by the following key question: How do the dance teachers rationalize pedagogies of cultural heritage dances in various nonacademic environments in central Uganda? Grounded in the Ubuntu worldview and the theory of constructivism, and using a phenomenological qualitative research inquiry, this study was carried out over a period of eight months. The research data was gathered through semi-structured phenomenological interviews, storytelling sessions, and participant and nonparticipant observations. The findings showed that as an idiom of thought, pedagogy facilitates complex epistemological links between the dance teachers, learners, the content knowledge and skills of the dances, and the communities of dance practice in which it is applied. The rationalization of pedagogy by the dance teachers value the individual learners as knowledgeable others, celebrate their abilities to construct meanings from embodied and reflective experiences, embrace the community as an epistemological resource, and integrate the diverse content knowledge of the dance traditions. Individual dance teachers claim agency in processes of locating and deconstructing the dance episteme as thinkers, doers, collaborators, knowers, and inquirers. Pedagogy as a system of knowledge production draws on the multiplicity of dance traditions, individual talents, and cultural identities, and mediates the reciprocal interplay between individuality and communality. The study also explored how the dance teachers situate their pedagogies in the contemporary local phenomena, evolving dance traditions, complex ethnic demography, and emerging institutional frameworks such as schools, dance troupes, and universities. This inquiry sought to reveals the complexity and rational depth of pedagogic thought and its applications in and implications for cultural heritage dances in order to expand perspectives and enrich existing discourses on dance education policy, theory, pedagogy, research, practice, and curriculum development.

Guidance on Inventory and Documentation of the Cultural Heritage

Guidance on Inventory and Documentation of the Cultural Heritage By:Ad hoc Group for Inventory and Documentation Within the Technical Co-operation and Consultancy Programme Published on 2009 by Council of Europe Improved heritage management and the inclusion of heritage in planning and sustainable development processes necessitate inventory and documentation. More than mere scientific tools recommended in international agreements, inventory and documentation play a strategic role. The complexity of the heritage items that now have to be inventoried and their interaction with our everyday living environment require the clear definition and harmonisation of practices at the European level. Through its work in the 1960s, the Council of Europe helped to lay the methodological bases for inventorying architectural, archaeological and movable heritage. The efforts to systematise the process came in answer to the broadening meaning of heritage, and today new considerations lead us to address s...

Enduring Records

Enduring Records By:Barbara A. Purdy Published on 2001 by Oxbow Books Limited The 27 papers in this volume have been developed from presentations made at an international wetlands archaeology conference held in Gainsville, Florida in December 1999. The theme of the conference was: The Significance of the Survival of Organic Materials from Archaeological Contexts. Individuals from seventeen countries spoke about shipwrecks, bog bodies, cenotes of sacrifice, art styles, perishable technologies, palynology, wetlands management, conservation methods, and updates on famous sites. Time periods ranged from the early Pleistocene to a few hundred years ago. As the international composition of the delegates (including a large number of North American scientists) indicates, wetland archaeology has emerged in recent years as a unique discipline facing unique difficulties which are encountered on both sides of the Atlantic.

Cultural Heritage in a Changing World

Cultural Heritage in a Changing World By:Karol Jan Borowiecki,Neil Forbes,Antonella Fresa Published on 2016-05-02 by Springer The central purpose of this collection of essays is to make a creative addition to the debates surrounding the cultural heritage domain. In the 21st century the world faces epochal changes which affect every part of society, including the arenas in which cultural heritage is made, held, collected, curated, exhibited, or simply exists. The book is about these changes; about the decentring of culture and cultural heritage away from institutional structures towards the individual; about the questions which the advent of digital technologies is demanding that we ask and answer in relation to how we understand, collect and make available Europe’s cultural heritage. Cultural heritage has enormous potential in terms of its contribution to improving the quality of life for people, understanding the past, assisting territorial cohesion, driving economic growth, opening u...
