This round table discussion will address some of the steps which are being taken nationally and internationally to safeguard
ICH, and will pose some suggestions for future work. Responding to Ms Duvelle’s comments will be Richard Kurin,
Smithsonian Institution; Richard MacKinnon, Cape Breton University; Gerald Pocius, Memorial University of Newfoundland;
Laurier Turgeon, Laval University.
Cécile Duvelle was trained in cultural anthropology at the University Paris V – René Descartes. She worked during her studies
more particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, on subjects such as spontaneous housing in the Dakar suburbs and its consequences
on the traditional family structures; the role of women in development in Gabon (where she stayed three years), and on an
anthropological approach to alimentation. Having worked as coordinator of the Encyclopedia of African Law, a 10 volumes
series reviewing the legal framework since independence of the seventeen French-speaking African countries, she joined
UNESCO in 1989 and successively worked for UNESCO Publishing House and the Culture Sector. In 1999, she joined the
Office of the Director-General of UNESCO, where she was responsible for culture related topics as well as speechwriting for
the Director-General. In the exercise of these functions, she closely followed the elaboration and negotiation processes of
several cultural normative instruments, in particular the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural
Heritage and the 2005 Convention for the Promotion and Protection of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions. She accompanied
the Director-General during his official visits to more than eighty countries.
