The human cost in any conflict is of course the first care in terms of the reduction, if not the elimination of damage. However, the destruction of archaeology and heritage as a consequence of civil and international wars is also of major concern, and the irreversible loss of monuments and sites through conflict has been increasingly discussed and documented in recent years. Post-Conflict Archaeology and Cultural Heritage draws together a series of papers from archaeological and heritage professionals seeking positive, pragmatic and practical ways to deal with conflict-damaged sites. For instance, by showing that conflict-damaged cultural heritage and archaeological sites are a valuable resource rather than an inevitable casualty of war, and suggesting that archaeologists use their skills and knowledge to bring communities together, giving them ownership of, and identification with, their cultural heritage. The book is a mixture of the discussion of problems, suggested planning solutions and case studies for both archaeologists and heritage managers. It will be of interest to heritage professionals, archaeologists and anyone working with post-conflict communities, as well as anthropology, archaeology, and heritage academics and their students at a range of levels.

"Post-conflict cultures are defined by the different ways (practices, texts, behaviours, rituals) in which they re-write, re-constitute, and work through their contrasting, abused, competing memories and traumas. Bringing together academic experts and leading practititioners from avariety of cultural, literary and sociological disciplines, The genres of post-conflict testimonies investigates how cultures are influenced and transformed after conflict by looking at testimony as a particular practice of representation. The book examines the many genres of testimonies which have not only been used, but also created and re-created, when the urgent need is to bear witness to violence."--Back cover.

In today’s interconnected world, the study of culture has become not only an academic pursuit but also a practical necessity. Human behavior, values, and ways of life are deeply shaped by cultural contexts, and these differences influence how societies interact, cooperate, and evolve. Cross Cultural Studies: Understanding Human Behaviour and Culture across Different Societies is written with the conviction that understanding cultural diversity is essential for fostering mutual respect, tolerance, and meaningful collaboration in an increasingly global society. The structure of this book is designed to guide readers from foundational theories to applied perspectives. Chapter 1 introduces the scope, importance, and historical roots of cross-cultural studies, laying the groundwork for critical inquiry into how cultures are defined, interpreted, and compared. Chapter 2 engages with influential theoretical frameworks, from Hofstede’s cultural dimensions to Trompenaars’ seven dimensions of culture, highlighting their relevance in addressing universalism and cultural relativism. Building on these foundations, Chapter 3 examines the interplay between culture and human identity, particularly how family, personality, and intergenerational transmission shape individuals across contexts. Chapter 4 explores language and communication, emphasizing linguistic worldviews, non-verbal cues, and the dynamics of translation in intercultural exchanges. The following section, Chapter 5, turns to religion and belief systems as cultural institutions that influence ethics, rituals, and interfaith dialogues. The book also acknowledges the vital role of gender roles and cultural norms in shaping societies, discussed in Chapter 6, before transitioning into Chapter 7, which focuses on culture in workplaces and organizations—an increasingly urgent topic in today’s globalized economy. Chapter 8 reflects on migration and diaspora, interrogating how mobility and transnational identities reshape cultural belonging. The tensions and possibilities of cultural interactions are further addressed in Chapter 9, which investigates the cultural roots of conflict and the diverse strategies of negotiation and resolution across societies. This naturally leads to Chapter 10, which considers education as a central arena for diversity, multicultural learning, and global citizenship formation. Finally, Chapter 11 points toward the future, addressing emerging trends such as digital culture, AI, indigenous knowledge systems, decolonizing discourses, and the pursuit of a shared humanity. We hope this book will serve as a resource not only for academic study but also for personal reflection, professional practice, and collective dialogue. By connecting theory with lived experience, it aims to foster intercultural empathy, critical awareness, and sustainable ways of living together in an interconnected world.

Cultural Expertise, Law, and Rights introduces readers to the theory and practice of cultural expertise in the resolution of conflicts and the claim of rights in diverse societies. Combining theory and case-studies of the use of cultural expertise in real situations, and in a great variety of fields, this is the first book to offer a comprehensive examination of the field of cultural expertise: its intellectual orientations, practical applications and ethical implications. This book engages an extensive and interdisciplinary variety of topics – ranging from race, language, sexuality, Indigenous rights and women’s rights to immigration and asylum laws, international commercial arbitration and criminal law. It also offers a truly global perspective covering cultural expertise in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and North America. Finally, the book offers theoretical and practical guidance for the ethical use of cultural expert knowledge. This is an essential volume for teachers and students in the social sciences – especially law, anthropology, and sociology – and members of the legal professions who engage in cross-cultural dispute resolution, asylum and migration, private international law and other fields of law in which cultural arguments play a role.

This theoretically innovative anthology investigates the problematic linkages between conserving cultural heritage, maintaining cultural diversity, defining and establishing cultural citizenship, and enforcing human rights. It is the first publication to address the notions of cultural diversity, cultural heritage and human rights in one volume. Heritage provides the basis of humanity’s rich cultural diversity. While there is a considerable literature dealing separately with cultural diversity, cultural heritage and human rights, this book is distinctive and has contemporary relevance in focusing on the intersection between the three concepts. Cultural Diversity, Heritage and Human Rights establishes a fresh approach that will interest students and practitioners alike and on which future work in the heritage field might proceed.

This book traverses the cultural landscape of Colombia through in-depth analyses of displacement, local and global cultures, human rights abuses, and literary and media production. Through an exploration of the cultural processes that perpetuate the "darker side" of Latin America for global consumption, it investigates the "condition" that has led writers, filmmakers, and artists to embrace (purposefully or not) the incessant violence in Colombian society as the object of their own creative endeavors. In this examination of mass-marketed cultural products such as narco-stories, captivity memoirs, gritty travel narratives, and films, Herrero-Olaizola seeks to offer a hemispheric approach to the role played by Colombia in cultural production across the continent where the illicit drug trade has made significant inroads. To this end, he identifies the "Colombian condition" within the parameters of the global economy while concentrating on the commodification of Latin America’s violence for cultural consumption.

Applied studies scholarship has triggered a not-so-quiet revolution in the discipline of ethnomusicology. The current generation of applied ethnomusicologists has moved toward participatory action research, involving themselves in musical communities and working directly on their behalf. The essays in The Oxford Handbook of Applied Ethnomusicology, edited by Svanibor Pettan and Jeff Todd Titon, theorize applied ethnomusicology, offer histories, and detail practical examples with the goal of stimulating further development in the field. The essays in the book, all newly commissioned for the volume, reflect scholarship and data gleaned from eleven countries by over twenty contributors. Themes and locations of the research discussed encompass all world continents. The authors present case studies encompassing multiple places; other that discuss circumstances within a geopolitical unit, either near or far. Many of the authors consider marginalized peoples and communities; others argue for participatory action research. All are united in their interest in overarching themes such as conflict, education, archives, and the status of indigenous peoples and immigrants. A volume that at once defines its field, advances it, and even acts as a large-scale applied ethnomusicology project in the way it connects ideas and methodology, The Oxford Handbook of Applied Ethnomusicology is a seminal contribution to the study of ethnomusicology, theoretical and applied.

This book brings together three distinct areas of International Law – namely Environmental, Heritage and Ocean Law – to address the international legal protection of historically significant wrecks, with particular focus on the environmental hazards they may pose. The confluence of Heritage Law and the Law of the Sea with International Environmental Law represents an important development in international governance strategies for the twenty-first century, in particular those legal and administrative regimes that concern the world’s oceans and underwater cultural heritage protection. Importantly, connections between international legal regimes, such as the 1982 Law of the Sea, and institutions like the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and United Nations Education Scientific Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), can play a crucial part in governance strategies that involve the regulation of marine pollution and historic shipwrecks.
