    Episode 10 Soundtrack to a Revolution

    In this follow up to episode 5, Mark explores the relationship between modern conflict in Southeast Asia and forms of musical expression. In particular, he looks at the emergence of new and hybrid forms of rock and pop music, tracking their birth during the Vietnam War, and their development across the regions from the highlands of Northeastern Thailand to Singapore, Malaysia and Saigon. Can pop, rock and psychedelic sounds of the era be considered a valid example of intangible cultural heritage?

    Episode 9 Vectors of Intangible Cultural Heritage

    Any consideration of intangible cultural heritage needs to take account of how stories, memories, traditions or rituals are transformed, reinterpreted or lost through the passage of time. This episode focuses on the importance of formal education and, in particular, of language to this process of intergenerational transmission. In conversation with Kirsty Sword Gusmao, Helen Ting and Mark Maca, Edward Vickers debates the role of language as a form of superordinate intangible cultural heritage.
