REALIZACJA KONWENCJI UNESCO Z 2003 ROKU W POLSCE Z PERSPEKTYWY FOLKLORYSTY

The author continues her research on folklore and folklorism in the contemporary culture in the framework of the discussion held currently in Poland on the intangible cultural heritage and all the actions aiming at its protection and preservation. She starts from 2003 UNESCO Convention which coins the new term of intangible cultural heritage to replace the terms folklore and folklorism, commonly used in informal and scientific discourse. The new term covers also material culture. The author has already referred to the complex set of phenomena that accompany the change in terminology, pointing e.g. at the growing discrepancy between the academic theory and the cultural policy of the state. Now – going deeper into the subject – the author takes a folklorist ´s perspective on the actions that aim at the Convention in Poland.
