Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage in the 2003 Unesco Convention: A critical appraisal
This critical article expounds on what 'intangible cultural heritage' is and the historical background of UNESCO's attempts to safeguard and protect the world's living cultural heritage in the wake of modernization, global mass culture and the diminishing of national identities. By the mid-1990s, as international awareness dramatically increased, UNESCO sponsored surveys of national actions (1995-99) as well as regional conferences, which led to …

Morality, Personhood, and the Exemplary Life: Popular Conceptions of Muslims in Paradise
The structure of blessedness at a Muslim shrine in Pakistan
In Pakistan and Muslim south Asia the shrines (mazar, dargah) of saints (pir, murshid) have been particularly important in the propagation of Islam. Previous ethnographic studies have generally concentrated upon the varied functions of such shrines. A popular view enunciated by Arnold (1961) is that shrines serve as specialized loci within which the particular and relatively mundane problems of visitors may be alleviated. For example, one such ty…
Indigenous Agronomics and Agricultural Development in the Indus Basin
Symbolic anthropology, often preoccupied with expressive systems or classificatory schema, has generally been regarded as having little to contribute to development issues. Here, the symbolic analysis of Punjabi agriculture in Pakistan's Indus Basin reveals an anthropomorphic humoral agronomy used by farmers to make crop production decisions. This agronomy is found to be systemic, coherent, and empirically constituted. Innovations of the green re…
