In June 2008, researchers at the Universities of Göttingen and Hamburg began an interdisciplinary project on cultural property supported by funds from the Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft. The research team is composed of scholars in cultural anthropology/European Cultural and Social Anthropology, economics, Cultural and Social Anthropology, commercial and international law. These six linked projects are devoted to the question of how cultural property is constituted, focusing on actors, discourses, contexts and rules.
