MDPE.19:7 - Consequences

Positive consequences:

  • preservation resources target performer capability, teaching, instrument, software, venue, organizer, recognition, or memory according to the observed failure;
  • hidden dependence on one bearer or provider becomes visible before loss;
  • reconstruction can create a useful present variant without fabricating an uninterrupted lineage;
  • a living practice can change medium or name without being declared lost merely because its old trace disappeared;
  • local retirement remains separate from cultural extinction; and
  • evidence about actual practitioner Work is not displaced by official, academic, or media visibility.

Costs and limits:

  • representative tests consume performer, venue, instrument, teaching, and observation capacity;
  • some relations cannot be varied safely or ethically, so conclusions remain weaker;
  • changing one continuation relation can move cost or burden to teachers, maintainers, organizers, source communities, or alternative practices; and
  • no bounded project can guarantee future cultural retention. It can only improve or qualify the reproduction arrangement within its horizon and authority.
