Description

This provocative collection of essays - a series of case studies in cultural ownership by scholars from a range of fields - explores issues of cultural heritage and intellectual property in a variety of contexts, from contests over tangible artefacts as well as more abstract forms of culture such as language and oral traditions to current studies of DNA and genes that combine nature and culture, and even new, non-proprietary models for the sharing of digital technologies.
