While the individual dimension of traditional knowledge production is widely recognized by indigenous peoples and nations pressing for the legal protection of such knowledge, the fiction of exclusively communal production continues to be deployed against such efforts, especially at the international level. Yet a strategy that reversed this and emphasized individual over communal creativity in order to gain protection would diminish traditional knowledge and leave unchallenged some of the basic premises of IP protection.

Strategies of Authorization

• In one system, authorization is based on the name of the individual cultural producer.

• In the other, authorization rests on the work of other cultural producers, including those who have died, and also on institutions of power as well as on the medium of cloth itself (53-54)
