“…While the rhetoric advocates the preservation of such heritage for the benefit of future generations [61,62], the management processes primarily serve the ideological and socio-political interests of the present [63]. While intangible cultural heritage has been given formal prominence by UNESCO in its 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage [64,65], the standard discourse centers on languages [66,67], cultural practices [68], and cultural expressions in the form of dance [69] and music [70]. Other intangible aspects of heritage tend to be either overlooked or are often regarded as too difficult to address.…”

Annually, there are between 2500 and 3000 Christmas markets in Germany. While purported to be rooted in century-old tradition, the current concept of the markets, shaped in the 1930s, gradually transformed from primarily mercantile operations to experiential events. The experiential dimension is a collection of visual, auditory, and olfactory components that create a compound sensory response: the ‘Christmas atmosphere’. The prevalence of COVID-19 meant that traditional Christmas markets were largely absent from the festive calendar in Germany in 2020, disrupting the usual sensory experiences associated with these events. A review of the online presence showed that augmented markets and virtual reality were subsequently utilized in an attempt to re-create the experience and the ambience of the traditional markets, but had limited interactivity with many of the senses. We explore to what extent these multiple-sensory components may have been lost during the Christmas period of 2020 due to the COVID-19-induced transition from the traditional multisensory live market to a predominantly online experience, and highlight problems which arise through the documentation of such complex intangible heritage.

“…This is used for contemporary dance as a creative tool by the choreographer to improve their work during rehearsal, live performances for later review or sharing notes with performers that can in future also be used for general web-based archive. Mallik et al [35] have automatically annotated new instances of digital heritage-constructed ontology for Indian Classical Dance BharataNatyam and Odissi to train multi-media data. The E-dance project [36] showed how grid-based hypermedia and semantic annotations were used for capturing and rendering the choreographic practices.…”

“…Mallik et al [35,37] have constructed ontology for Indian Classical Dance BharataNatyam and Odissi to train multi-media data and automatically annotate new instances of digital heritage. The domain knowledge has been encoded in ontology and has provided methods to co-relate this to the audio-visual recordings and other digital artefacts.…”

Dance is an art and when technology meets this kind of art, it is a novel attempt in itself. Many researchers have attempted to automate several aspects of dance, right from dance notation to choreography; from dance capturing to dance generation. We define and illustrate the concept of ‘Dance Automation’ in this paper. Furthermore, we have encountered several applications of dance automation like e-learning, heritage preservation, medical therapy, etc. Despite decades of continuous attempts by many researchers in various styles of dance all round the world, we found a review paper that portrays the research status in this area of ‘dance and computers’ dating to 1990 (Leonardo 1990 Computers and dance: A bibliography , pp. 87–90). Hence, we decided to compose a comprehensive review article that showcases several aspects of dance automation and document contributions of researchers in marrying creativity with logic. This paper is an attempt to review research work reported in the literature, categorize and group significant research work completed in a span of 1967–2020 in the field of automating dance. We have explicitly identified six major categories corresponding to the use of computers in dance automation, namely, dance representation, dance capturing, dance semantics, dance generation, dance processing approaches and applications of dance automation systems. We classified several research papers under these categories according to their research approach and functionality. With the help of proposed categories and subcategories, one can easily determine the state of research and the new avenues left for exploration in the field of dance automation.

“…Most of these activities are focused on tangible expressions of heritage, such as objects, structures and places [2][3][4]. There is a growing body of research, including international conventions, that addresses the identification and management of intangible cultural heritage, which is too extensive to be reviewed here [5][6][7].…”

Contemporary Sound Practices: Church Bells and Bell Ringing in New South Wales, Australia

As a social species, humans have developed soundscapes that surround, and to some extent circumscribe, their daily existence. The concept of aural heritage, its conceptualization and its management represent a rapidly expanding area of research, covering aspects of both natural and human heritage. However, there have been no contemporary regional or supra-regional studies that examine the nature of sound making in Christian religious settings, nor the extent to which it is still used. This paper presents the results of a survey into the presence of bells and bell ringing practices among five major Christian denominations in New South Wales, and examines to what extent bell ringing is still practiced and what factors may determine any differentiation. In doing so, it provides an objective basis from which to investigate future changes in bell ringing practices, and provides a solid foundation with reference to aural heritage of sound in a religious setting.
