Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This groundbreaking book covers the restoration of the law of restitution of cultural property, matching the time, space, and depth dimensions of the law with the time, space, and ontology of events that violated persons and desecrated their heritage in the colonial era.Using the contested ownership of the Parthenon Sculptures and the Zhanggong Zushi mummy encased in a Buddha statue as the main points of orientation, the book shows how the law of restitution could be defragmented and restored in respect of claims for the return of colonial-era and Indigenous cultural property disputes. The study argues that the secondary legal norms and common arguments of Private International Law can unlock governance functions and strategies that counter the effects of the narrow definition of the sacred and the consistent refusal to consider an alternative chronosophy in restitution claims. When called upon to resist the detrimental effects of the mimetic dynamic in complex colonial contexts, the law stands to benefit from a legal-theoretical perspective that views law in relation to ethics and considers Private International Law, a model of ethics.The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of cultural property law, heritage studies, Indigenous law, provenance, and applied ethics. This book covers the restoration of the law of restitution of cultural property, matching the time, space and depth dimensions of the law with the time, space and ontology of events that violated persons and desecrated their heritage in the colonial era. It will be useful to researchers of cultural property law and heritage studies. This item is printed on demand.
