Geographical Indications & Localisation - Meetings in India

[dwijr]

Dear Colleagues

I write about a series of meetings that will see the launch of a Report on Geographical Indications and Localisation. This is part of a research project that I have been leading over the last two years - and takes Feni as a case study to explore issues of localisation, consensus-making and the tensions of translating cultural objects through property rights.

The Report is initially launched in Goa at a Meeting on 24th Sept in Panaji. The Meeting commences from 2:00pm and begins with a presentation of the Report’s main findings and its recommendations. Comments and reactions will follow from representatives of the Goa Government, the Feni Association and the GI Registry. Other speakers who have been invited include experts on Scotch whisky, the Mezcal liquor and GI law. The meeting ends with a dinner reception.

For further information and registering attendance, kindly contact Naina D’Souza on +91 [phone]; email: [hidden email]

The second meeting is in New Delhi on 30th September 2009 from 5:00pm onwards and is at the India International Centre. The meeting begins with a presentation of the Report and will be followed by comments and responses from academic scholars and GI-experts. The meeting ends with a dinner reception.

For further information and to register your attendance, kindly contact Rebecca John via email at [hidden email] or on +91 [phone].
