Für den Umgang mit Online-Medien, insbesondere Social Media, im deutschsprachigen Kulturbetrieb finden sich bislang nur zurückhaltende, fragmentarische Begründungsversuche, die bei näherer Betrachtung theoretische Inkonsequenzen aufweisen. Diese interdisziplinäre Studie von Simon A. Frank bewegt sich zwischen Kulturmanagement, -wissenschaft und Wirtschaftsinformatik. Sie entwickelt ein neues theoretisch fundiertes Konzept für Social Media im Kulturmanagement und zeigt, dass zwischen den tragenden Kunst- und Kulturtheorien, die derzeit das theoretische Fundament der Kultureinrichtungen bilden, sowie den aktuellen Internetpraktiken kein unversöhnlicher Gegensatz besteht.

this paper examines the issue of effective local leadership within santri in relation to the framework of building democratic governance at the local level in the community centre point. The author employs a qualitative research through case study. The main issue of this research is the political role of kiyai and bejingan in Bondowoso, East Java. This study indicate that the new trend, that is the socio-political power collaboration of the kiyais and the bejingans, does not have any positive implications for the development of democracy at the local level and for the critical awareness of society. In fact, with this trend, the hegemony and marginalization of the society's political consciousness are relatively increasing. One of the major reasons is, that there are no longer two or more forces to control over each other.

Abstract:It is notoriously difficult to design and attach suitable legal rights to intangible cultural heritage (ICH), due to its nature as an evolving, living heritage. This article investigates the effects of government intervention relating to Scottish tartan in order to trace the relationship between formal proprietary rights, commodification, and cultural branding. The article proceeds in three steps: from (1) the historical context of the Jacobite rebellion and the subsequent Victorian assignment of the tartan to clans; to (2) the formation and function of the subsequent self-regulating community tartan registers; and (3) the 2009 governmental intervention with the establishment of a governmental tartan register, subsuming the community groups' role in self-regulating tartan. While past ICH protection efforts have focused primarily on developing countries, the example of tartan raises wider concerns about the social and economic impact of the subtle erosion or, conversely, the ossification of living heritages. Finally, some alternatives are considered within the IP regime, such as sui generis protection, while highlighting the challenges of reconciling the domestic regulation of diverse ICH.
