Bortolotto00aThe giant cola cola in Gravina: Intangible cultural heritage, property, and territory between Unesco discourse and local heritage practice  uhttps://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-77954206316&partnerID=40&md5=68447e8808434e0a5a228ebac17d763a  a81-940 v393 aIn this paper I compare the theory and the practice of heritage highlighting the gap which separates ideas underpinning the intangible cultural heritage normative definition (via the text of the Unesco Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage) and in the broad discourse of the institution (the "esprit de la convention") from concrete application of heritage policies to "traditional culture" made by local actors. I focus on how the idea of "property" is dealt with in both contexts and consider the role that the spatial location in a territory plays in this regard. The establishment of a system of "geographical indicators" for handcrafts, the heritagization and monumentalization of a special kind of clay whistle in southern Italy is taken as an example to demonstrate how local heritage policies address issues of property - territory and intangible heritage.  a04254597 (ISSN)
