La siembra y el consumo del maíz son actividades identitarias y determinantes en la evolución del patrimonio alimentario de la población, porque contribuyen a la seguridad alimenticia y a la conservación del acervo biocultural. Se realizó un estudio etnográfico a partir de la recopilación cualitativa de testimonios de productores y consumidores de tortillas de maíz hechas a mano en San Pedro del Rosal, Atlacomulco, Estado de México. Se caracterizó la elaboración de tortilla, desde una perspectiva antropológica, para analizar el saber hacer en torno a este alimento, característico de la identidad culinaria del centro de México. Para los productores de tortilla, el saber hacer constituye una herencia identitaria, así como una posible estrategia de generación de ingresos económicos. En el caso de los consumidores, se concluyó que eligen la tortilla hecha a mano, por su valor simbólico. Production and consumption of tortillas as a cultural heritage of San Pedro del Rosal, MexicoPlanting and consumption of maize are identity and determining activities in the evolution of population’s food heritage, since they contribute to food security and preservation of the biocultural heritage. Based on qualitative collection of information from producers and consumers of hand-made maize tortillas in San Pedro del Rosal, Atlacomulco, Estado de Mexico, an ethnographic study was conducted. From an anthropological perspective, the production of tortillas was characterized in order to analyze the know-how concerning this food, typical of central Mexico’s culinary identity. For tortilla producers, the know-how constitutes an identity heritage, as well as possibly a strategy for generating an income.

The purpose of writing this article is to analyze the meaning of ararem in the context of Biak ethnic marriage. In the Biak ethnic marriage tradition, there is a concept known as ararem. Ararem is a tradition of delivering the dowry of a future husband to his future wife. The provision of ararem has the following meanings, namely: first, the binding of kinship between clans / kerets, namely the male family and the female family, the second ararem as a sign of appreciation for women, third, the essential meaning of giving ararem as a sign of peace that contains prayer and The hope of a large family for a husband and wife to multiply to live happily and harmoniously in fostering a household. The research method uses descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach. This study will describe the sacredness of Ararem as assistance in Biak ethnic marriages and analyze Ararem as cultural heritage values which are used as counseling assistance in Biak ethnic marriages. In the tradition of ararem marriage, it is mandatory for Biak ethnicity to do so, because many ethnic groups believe that in ararem there is a sacred value, so if it is not done, then multi-ethnic marriage will not experience a happy and harmonious life. The purpose of writing this article is to understand the sacred value of ararem as a mentoring approach in pastoral by looking at local wisdom as a pattern of approach.

Armed conflicts are one of the primary reasons that endanger heritage and the symbolic value of cultures. Both the protection of cultural legacy and the promotion of the plural interests and identities that intersect and construct heritage in times of war should be reinforced with an effi-ient strategy and effective actions. The unprecedented destruction of renowned cultural heritage sites in Syria has not remained unnoticed. The contentious violations that occurred during the hostilities of Syria’s ongoing conflict have drawn the attention of international organisations such as UNESCO, ICOMOS, ICCROM, and ICOM. Following the constant media reports and aerial photos of heritage destructions in Syria, UNESCO held an experts’ meeting in Berlin to discuss its safeguarding. The meeting was envisioned as a follow-up to the implementation of the UNESCO action plan for the Emergency Safeguarding of Syria’s Cultural Heritage (UNESCO 2014). The three-day conference (2 - 4 June 2016) aimed to continue the work of the 2014 Paris conference, supported by the three-year EU-funded project on the Emergency Safeguarding of the Syrian Cultural Heritage.

The Way

Heritage piety departs ever farther from reality. High-minded admonitions broaden the gulf between what happens to cultural property and what virtuous stewards feel should happen. Ever more of our patrimony gets looted, destroyed, mutilated, shorn of context, hidden from scrutiny, inadequately stored, poorly conserved, eBayed. Merryman cites three causes: the animus of UNESCO and archaeology against marketing cultural property, the sanguine view that trafficking abuse can be quashed by state fiat and moral suasion, and excessive constraint against heritage export by blanket diktats from source nations (and tribes and ethnic groups). These evils endure because heritage stewards commonly subscribe to four underlying sacrosanct fictions. (1) The heritage of all humanity deserves to be preserved in toto. (2) Cultural heritage matters above all for the information it can yield. (3) Collecting is reprehensible; it must be circumscribed if not outlawed. (4) Nations and tribes are enduring entities with sacred rights to time-honored legacies. I show why these views are mistaken yet remain embedded in heritage philosophy and protocol. In particular, although heritage is piously declared the legacy of all mankind, chauvinist sentiment continues to impede internationalism, partly because it buttresses the credentials of those in charge, who are forced into moral postures that promise unachievable stewardship. National and local self-esteem are holy writ for UNESCO and other cultural property agencies. Equating heritage with identity justifies every group's claim to the bones, the belongings, the riddles, and the refuse of every forebear back into the mists of time. All that stands in the way of everyone's reunion with all their ancestors and ancestral things is its utter impossibility. Heritage professionals once seen as selfless are now targets of suspicion, often thought backward looking, deluded, self-seeking, or hypocritical. Small wonder that militant reformers who seek to suppress illicit cultural property dealings by treaties, court decisions, government fiats, and the moral artillery of shame and guilt are viewed with an increasingly cynical eye.

The University

In four experiments, students read that their university was creating either an ethnic space (a space geared to people of particular ethnic groups) or a general space for students. In an internal meta-analysis, underrepresented students of color ( N = 205), but not White students ( N = 760), who read about the ethnic space reported greater belonging, value of underrepresented students by the university, support, and academic engagement compared to those who read about a general space. Ethnic spaces may hold broader psychological significance than that of mere gathering places, improving outcomes even for those who do not frequently use them. Creating ethnic spaces may be one strategy for making university environments more welcoming for underrepresented students of color.
