Forsyth00aLifting the Lid on “The Community”: Who Has the Right to Control Access to Traditional Knowledge and Expressions of Culture?  uhttps://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85011526508&doi=10.1017%2fS0940739112000021&partnerID=40&md5=05ca2c51ce9b98a19030bfabd9e0ae2d  a1-310 v193 aThis article explores some key considerations around determining who should have the right to control access to, and benefit from, traditional knowledge and intangible cultural heritage. It highlights the complexities involved in these considerations by examining in detail the different claims to control by different segments of the population in regard to two case studies: Samoan tattooing and the Vanuatu land dive. It uses insights from this analysis to problematize the assumptions about the use of concepts such as “community” in legislation designed to protection traditional knowledge and expressions of culture, and it also reflects on what effect such legislative developments may have on the cultural industries initiative and the implementation of the Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage.  a09407391 (ISSN)
