11. 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. (43)

12. 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)
