Contemporary Perspectives on Art and International Development
Visual artists, craftspeople, musicians, and performers have been supported by the development community for at least twenty years, yet there has been little grounded and critical research into the practices and politics of that support. This new Routledge book remedies that omission and brings together varied perspectives from artists, policy-makers, and researchers working in the Pacific, Africa, Latin America, and Europe to explore the challenges and opportunities of supporting the arts in the development context. The book offers a series of grounded analyses which cover: strategies for the sustainability of arts enterprises; innovative evaluation methods; theoretical engagements with que...
The Cultural Politics of Europe
Culture is one of the most complex and contested fields of European integration. This book analyzes EU cultural politics since their emergence in the 1980s with a particular focus on the European Capital of Culture program, the flagship of EU cultural policy. It discusses both the central as well as local levels and contextualizes EU policies with programmes of other European organisations, such as the Council of Europe. By asking what "Europe" actually means for European cultural policy, the book goes beyond the confines of official organizations and the political sphere, to discuss the contribution, impact and appropriation among a more diverse group of actors and participants, such as tra...
Recasting German Federalism
Understanding Germany's federal structure is crucial to understanding contemporary Germany. The federal system shaped the way German unification was carried out, it shapes the way in which policies are made, and it plays a role in determining the way in which Germany presents its priorities in the EU. The first part of the book analyzes the nature of pre-unification West German federalism and the unique challenge posed for the federal system by unification. Part 2 takes stock of key issues in the operation of post-unification federalism, including the policy process, the role of parties in federalism, conflicts of interest over financial allocations, and the impact of deepening European integration. The final part offers a series of critical perspectives which address the long-term legacies of unification and increasing pressures for reform.
Deindustrialisation in Twentieth-Century Europe
Exploring two large economies which were heavily affected by deindustrialisation in the late twentieth century, this book provides insights into the social movements that brought about and also challenged industrial reduction in Europe. Both the Ruhr region in Germany and the Northwest of Italy experienced major structural transformation from the 1960s as a result of deindustrialisation. With contributions from experts in the field, this collection provides a comparative overview of each region, examining policy implementation, class relations, the changing political economy and environmental impact. Analysing industrial and post-industrial landscapes, urban developments and labour relations, the authors place their transnational findings within the context of the wider literature on deindustrialisation in the global North. A much-needed contribution to deindustrialisation studies, which have traditionally focused on North America and the UK, this book is a useful read for those researching deindustrialisation and the social history of Europe.
Artists’ Voices in Cultural Policy
This volume examines visual artists’ careers in the East German region of Saxony, as seen through the lens of cultural policy studies. The book discusses how myth binaries, memory layers and identity markers shaped artists professional lives in an interwoven and fluid approach following German unification, taking a fresh look at the intricacies of visual artists’ careers within the specifics of the cultural, social and political changes. It surveys artists’ professional practice and work under the new framework of the professional class, and discusses the implications for the profession of artists with special reference to visual artists. Simone Wesner looks beyond geographical and political contexts and provides the reader with a longitudinal narrative that produces a revised understanding of artists’ careers within the cultural policy context.
歐洲聯盟文化政策之脈絡與實踐
文化是歐盟「多元一體」精神的基石，本書探索歐盟的文化政策脈絡， 並同時從歐盟與會員國層級剖析各文化領域的實踐。 今日，文化日益被當作是歐洲各國提升經濟發展、創造就業、促進社會融合、強化與他國交流之重要媒介。歐洲整合之父莫內（Jean Monnet）曾說：「倘若歐洲整合能重新開始，吾將由文化著手。」事實上，文化乃歐盟的核心理念之一，也是「多元一體」（Unity in Diversity）精神的基石。在過去，對於文化多樣性的尊重和共享價值的凝聚，確保了歐洲的和平、繁榮與團結。在當今全球化的國際社會中，文化可...

Artistic Transfer
Non-conformist, non-linear, unruly thought and action have always led to great works of art, pathbreaking inventions and forward-looking perspectives. But how can this precious good find its way into our everyday working life to help us deal with social, ecological and economic challenges? The crucial step, Ursula Bertram contends, is to reach a synergy of logically justifiable knowledge and the capacity to navigate in open systems. To find out how such synergy could come about, Ursula Bertram has observed the strategies and principles of artists, choreographers, musicians and unruly thinkers and compared them with the statements of physicists, mathematicians, managers and researchers. She shows that when artistic thought is circulated and probed in non-artistic fields, an extremely efficient pattern called artistic transfer emerges. With contributions by Werner Preißing and others.
Hypertransformation
In diesem Buch wird versucht, Transformationsprozesse in verschiedenen Dimensionen darzustellen und Zusammenhänge, Ähnlichkeiten und Abhängigkeiten herauszuarbeiten. Dazu ist ein komplexer Ansatz vonnöten. Möglichkeiten der Trans- und Interdisziplinarität sowie der Modellbildung der anwendungsorientierten Entwicklungstheorie werden deshalb aufgegriffen. Von «Hypertransformation» sollte man sprechen, wenn das zu Untersuchende aus systemischer Perspektive einen (hoch-)instabilen Zustand erreicht hat, also die Existenz des Systems kritisch geworden ist durch die gegenseitige Beeinflussung und Steigerung von Transformationen in verschiedenen Bereichen. Das Dreiländereck Deutschland - Po...
