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.
The Art Public
A brief intellectual history of the idea of the art public. The Art Public explores the history of efforts to imagine a collective, general audience for art in the world. Oskar Bätschmann explores both written and pictorial evidence of the development of the “art public” as an idea and disentangles connections between art production, audiences, and actual reception. Two aspects shape the narrative: the transformation of the audience from passive recipient to active agent as well as satirical jabs at audiences by the likes of Cruikshank, Rowlandson, and Daumier. This sweeping account connects the ancient Greeks with Renaissance painters, modern writers, and contemporary movie stars in a deft survey of the ways we imagine art’s immediate impact on audiences and its afterlives in museums, galleries, and the world.
Companion to European Heritage Revivals
Are you organising an international heritage project? Turning a so-called 'heritage revival' into a meaningful experience for the general public can be a challenge to historians, archaeologists, museum conservators and tourism professionals alike. This Companion to European Heritage Revivals offers inspiration and new ideas to those who want to engage a large, international audience in activities which bring the past to life. It offers a critical examination of the field’s basic concepts and discusses a vast array of 'heritage revival tools', including games, historical re-enactments, 3D-visualisations, films, television documentaries, spatial designs and most importantly, international heritage routes. Through many case studies, this book demonstrates how various aspects of heritage can be effectively presented by linking historical places and landscapes in a single revival to create a multifaceted but coherent whole. Above all, it shows the exceptional success achieved by projects which consistently focus on creating meaningful experiences together with individual users.

Kulturmanagement und Europäische Kulturarbeit
Internationalität und Vernetzung sind aktuelle Stichworte im Kulturmanagement. Projektförderungen durch die Europäische Union, durch Stiftungen sowie durch Unternehmen betonen zunehmend Begriffe wie »Mobilität«, »Flexibilität« und »Transkulturalität«.

Welche Kompetenzen müssen Kulturmanager_innen mitbringen, um auf dem internationalen und europäischen Markt erfolgreich zu sein? Welche Spielräume eröffnen sich für Kulturunternehmen? Dieses Buch, das Beiträge aus Theorie und Praxis vereint, versteht sich als Orientierungshilfe und Handlungsleitfaden für die entstehende Praxis einer europäischen Kulturarbeit. Mit Beiträgen u.a. von Patrick Föhl, Armin Klein, Birgit Mandel, Oliver Scheytt, Michael Schindhelm und Artemis Vakianis.
Nachhaltige Entwicklung in Kulturmanagement und Kulturpolitik
„Grundorientierung Zukunft“ lautet das Leitbild des Sammelbandes, der sich mit dem Thema der nachhaltigen Entwicklung in Kulturmanagement und Kulturpolitik auseinandersetzt. Ausgangspunkt ist die Beobachtung, dass die „Nachhaltigkeitsdiskussion“ – obgleich in vielen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen schon eine Selbstverständlichkeit – für den Kulturbetrieb erst noch entdeckt werden muss. Dementsprechend widmen sich die Herausgeber und Autoren zunächst den theoretischen Grundlagen des Begriffs „Nachhaltigkeit“ und seiner Relevanz in kulturmanagerialen und kulturpolitischen Kontexten. Darauf aufbauend werden strategische Perspektiven für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung des Kulturbetriebs anhand ausgewählter Bereiche – wie zum Beispiel Besucherorientierung, Kulturfinanzierung und Evaluation – aufgezeigt und diskutiert.
Art and the Challenge of Markets Volume 1
Art and the Challenge of Markets Volumes 1 & 2 examine the politics of art and culture in light of the profound changes that have taken place in the world order since the 1980s and 1990s. The contributors explore how in these two decades, the neoliberal or market-based model of capitalism started to spread from the economic realm to other areas of society. As a result, many aspects of contemporary Western societies increasingly function in the same way as the private enterprise sector under traditional market capitalism. The first volume of this two-volume collection considers a broad range of national cultural policies from European and North American countries, and examines the strengtheni...
Handbook of Accessible Communication
Accessible communication comprises all measures employed to reduce communication barriers in various situations and fields of activity. Disabilities, illnesses, different educational opportunities and/or major life events can result in vastly different requirements in terms of how texts or messages must be prepared in order to meet the individual needs and access conditions of the recipients of accessible communication. This handbook examines and critically reflects accessible communication in its interdisciplinary breadth. Current findings, proposed solutions and research desiderata are juxtaposed with reports from practitioners and users, who provide insights into how they deal with accessible communication and highlight current and future requirements and problems.
Classical Concert Studies
Classical Concert Studies: A Companion to Contemporary Research and Performance is a landmark publication that maps out a new interdisciplinary field of Concert Studies, offering fresh ways of understanding the classical music concert in the twenty-first century. It brings together essays, research articles, and case studies from scholars and music professionals including musicians, music managers, and concert designers. Gathering both historical and contemporary cases, the contributors draw on approaches from sociology, ethnology, musicology, cultural studies, and other disciplines to create a rich portrait of the classical concert’s past, present, and future. Based on two earlier volumes published in German under the title Das Konzert (The Concert), and with a selection of new chapters written for the English edition, this companion enables students, researchers, and practitioners in the classical and contemporary music fields to understand this emerging field of research, go beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and methodologies, and spark a renaissance for the classical concert.
