SUMMARY:Urheberrecht im globalen Süden | Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Der Workshop findet auf Englisch statt. Die deutsche Beschreibu
 ng folgt in Kürze.\n\nThe current international system for protecting int
 ellectual property and its global expansion date back over 100 years: It w
 as shaped and developed in the age of European industrialisation and colon
 ialism. However\, copyright issues have become virulent in many countries 
 of the Global South mainly since the 1980s in relation to processes of wid
 espread medialisation and marketisation. Meanwhile China\, a country frequ
 ently in focus for infringement of IP protection\, has only introduced cop
 yright in 1990. Along with increased regulation came increased practices o
 f plagiarism and piracy\, but also new demands for protection of cultural 
 heritage and traditional knowledge.\n\nOn the one hand\, creatives and sch
 olars call for better implementation of IP rights to help local artists or
  to acknowledge tradition-based art as the property of an ethnic group. On
  the other hand\, many criticise the regulations for being incompatible wi
 th local practices and norms and for causing more harm than good. Hence\, 
 this workshop aims to discuss which challenges and potentials the global l
 egal standards pose for artists and music industries in countries of the G
 lobal South. What role do international trade agreements play in these pro
 cesses of standardisation? How are immaterial cultural goods transformed b
 y local actors who make use of or circumvent the laws? Which norms and reg
 ulations existed before the introduction of copyright and in what way do t
 hey still co-exist? Moreover\, how does the underlying Western concept of 
 individual authorship clash with oral cultures and community-based\, colle
 ctively-owned art forms? Can folklore and other tradition-based knowledge 
 be protected by copyright? When does the copyrighted marketisation of inta
 ngible goods foster new “invented traditions”? And\, last but not leas
 t: what can we learn from these debates and conflicting norms regarding th
 e complex processes of artistic creation and the question of how to treat 
 and regulate music and copyright more generally?\nWorkshop: Copyright and 
 Music in the Global South: Navigating International Agreements\, Piracy Pr
 actices\, and the Protection of Cultural Heritage\n06.06.2018 | 2-6 PM | H
