Viac o knihe

Focusing on the protection of traditional cultural expressions (TCEs) in Latin America, this book critiques traditional legal frameworks and explores the intersection of anthropology and law. It examines the diverse legal contexts across the region, informed by fieldwork in various countries. The study highlights the socio-economic and environmental factors influencing TCEs and offers recommendations for interdisciplinary approaches to their protection. By analyzing successful systems, such as that of Panama, it raises critical questions about the meaning and legal safeguarding of TCEs in everyday life.
