The Temporal and Spatial Journey of Heritage Narratives:A Media Archaeological Study of Chinese Videos for Inscription on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity
The synchronic and spatial historical perspective of media archaeology,along with its critique of standardized narratives,offers new insights into the study of intangible cultural heritage(ICH).As a heritage medium grounded in audiovisual technology,the Chinese videos for inscription on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity embody a network of heritage discourses that illustrate the interaction between community narratives,national narratives,and UNESCO's policies.These videos provide a unique perspective on crossing heritage boundaries,restoring the community's role as a subject,and highlighting sustainable development practices with local characteristics.Additionally,they present marginalized indigenous views on heritage,existing outside UNESCO's authorized heritage discourse.Media technology not only serves as a tool for showcasing ICH but also plays a significant role in shaping the understanding and practice of intangible cultural heritage.
