FOR 772: The Constitution of Cultural Property: Actors, Discourses, Contexts, Rules

文化财产是一个具有深远影响的概念。将文化财产推向市场（或阻止其进入市场），从而实现经济、意识形态、集体或个人的利润，鉴于各行为体在后殖民、后现代世界中面临的高度不同的情况，这一利益已被证明是困难的。我们的研究单位在文化、经济、法律的和社会讨论中相互冲突的优先事项的交叉点上审查文化财产的构成。通过重点关注导致文化财产构成方式不同的行为者、话语、背景和规则，研究股打算突出文化财产概念本身固有的问题性质，着眼于将其作为一种现象加以理解和解释。这也要求结合各学科的专门知识;研究股包括文化人类学和民族学以及法律和经济学方面的专家。他们一起在印度尼西亚、柬埔寨和欧洲进行微观研究，以解决地方、区域和国家以及国际组织内不同文化财产的构成问题。人种学研究将有助于根据审慎和经济模式制定体制建设理论，并与之相互作用-微观层面增强宏观层面，反之亦然。文化财产方面的跨学科合作和理论与实践的全面结合将导致跨学科基础知识、核心认识问题和方法的相互加强。这种跨学科工作所促进的知识交流，力求弥补各学科中不仅在概念形成方面，而且在迄今所开展的经验工作方面存在的不足。文化财产方面的工作旨在面向不同的公众，研究股将与国家和国际学者合作，建立一个在德语欧洲独一无二的网络，该网络具有处理文化财产和版权方面出现的许多问题的学科能力。该网络将作为与该领域其他研究人员交流的基础，并作为决策者的信息渠道。

Cultural property is a concept with far-reaching consequences. The interest in bringing cultural property to market (or to block it from reaching the marketplace) and thereby realise an economic, ideological, collective or individual profit has proven difficult in light of the highly divergent circumstances that actors face in a post-colonial, late-modern world. Our Research Unit is engaged in examining the constituting of cultural property at the intersection of conflicting priorities in cultural, economic, legal and social discourses. By focusing on the actors, discourses, contexts and rules that have led to different ways of constituting cultural property, the Research Unit intends to highlight the problematic nature inherent to the concept of cultural property itself, with an eye to both understanding and explaining it as a phenomenon. This also calls for a combining of expertise from various disciplines; the Research Unit includes specialists from cultural anthropology and ethnology as well as from law and economics. Together, they conduct micro-studies in Indonesia, Cambodia as well as in Europe, in order to address the constitution of cultural property at different from local to regional and national as well as within international organisations. Ethnographic studies will contribute to and interact with the formulation of theories of institution-building based on jurisprudential and economic models - with the micro-level augmenting the macro-level and vice versa. Interdisciplinary cooperation and the holistic intermeshing of theory and practice with respect to cultural property will lead, across disciplines, to the mutual enhancement of basic knowledge, of central epistemic concerns and of methodology. The exchange of knowledge such interdisciplinary work promotes seeks to remedy the deficits that exist in the various disciplines with respect not only to concept formation but also to empirical work thus far undertaken. Work on cultural property is meant to reach differing publics, and in cooperating with national and international scholars, the Research Unit will build a network, unique in German-speaking Europe, that has the subject competence to address numerous aspects of questions that arise about cultural property and copyright. This network will serve as a basis both for communicating with other researchers in this area and serve as an information conduit to decision makers.
