Focusing on the current methodological challenges and new frameworks that surround the study of intangible cultural heritage in the public space, this volume explores the ways in which intangible cultural heritage is formed, represented, appropriated, and changed. The authors propose a broad understanding of cultural heritage emerging from the public sphere, encompassing museums, oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, artefacts, media and cultural spaces as the inclusive, collective cultural expressions of everyday culture.
