Discussion Paper On Protocols For The Canadian Public Art Funders Professional Development Meeting On Aboriginal Arts, Jane E. Anderson Dr, Gregory Younging Dr

Jane E. Anderson

The last ten years has seen the development of intellectual property protocols for Indigenous knowledge protection. These protocols cover a matrix of interests and audiences and range from the specific to the more general. Protocols are context driven policy and provide guidelines for behavior. In this sense they function to change people’s understanding of an issue, and in this context they seek to encourage reflective behavior when it comes to Indigenous knowledge use and misuse. This paper will explore the pragmatic utility of protocols. As protocols are not dependent upon the adoption of new legislation, it is possible for them …

First, I would like to thank George Nicholas and Julie Hollowell for inviting me to comment on this important panel discussion.

The Politics Of Global Information Sharing, Jane E. Anderson Dr, Kathy Bowrey Jan 2009

The Politics Of Global Information Sharing, Jane E. Anderson Dr, Kathy Bowrey

Jane E. Anderson

Open-knowledge communities, the public domain and public policies protecting the global sharing of information and resources seek to counter the last decade of IP maximalization. Such movements aim to rebalance ‘public’ interests within IP discourse. Historically, dispossession of Indigenous persons in settler communities was concomitant with their exclusion from ‘the public’. This has significant consequences for Indigenous peoples struggling to regain control over knowledge resources today. This article considers the imaginary inclusions that underlie Anglo-Australian intellectual property law and considers problems with redressing past injustice by defining Indigenous difference in terms of a cultural exception within intellectual property law.

The Politics Of Indigenous Knowledge: Australia's Proposed Communal Moral Rights Bill, Jane E. Anderson Dr

Jane E. Anderson

This article will highlight the complicated political contexts that underpin discussions of intellectual property and Indigenous knowledge within Australia. On one level it aims to provide some contextual information about the development of new intellectual property strategies for protecting Indigenous knowledge. At another level, it explores the inter-relation of global intellectual property development with local articulation of reform. It seeks to respond to an increasing disjuncture: where international discussions draw on national developments but remain distanced from the discrete political contexts informing their emergence and inevitably, their contestation.
