Public Culture, Cultural Identity, Cultural Policy
This book places the study of public support for the arts and culture within the prism of public policy making. It is explicitly comparative in casting cultural policy within a broad sociopolitical and historical framework. Given the complexity of national communities, there has been an absence of comparative analyses that would explain the wide variability in modes of cultural policy as reflections of public cultures and cultural identity. The discussion is internationally focused and interdisciplinary. Mulcahy contextualizes a wide variety of cultural policies and their relation to politics and identity by asking a basic question: who gets their heritage valorized and by whom is this done? The fundamental assumption is that culture is at the heart of public policy as it defines national identity and personal value.

Cultural Policy
David Bell and Kate Oakley survey the major debates emerging in cultural policy research, adopting an approach based on spatial scale to explore cultural policy in cities, nations and internationally. They contextualise these discussions with an exploration of what both ‘culture’ and ‘policy’ mean when they are joined together as cultural policy. Drawing on topical examples and contemporary research, as well as their own experience in both academia and in consultancy, Bell and Oakley urge readers to think critically about the project of cultural policy as it is currently being played out around the world. Cultural Policy is a comprehensive and readable book that provides a lively, up-to-date overview of key debates in cultural policy, making it ideal for students of media and cultural studies, creative and cultural industries, and arts management.
La filosofía latinoamericana como política cultural. Un diálogo con Richard Rorty y Raúl Fornet-Betancourt
La pregunta por la filosofía latinoamericana es el problema que ocupa esta investigación. Su punto de partida es el malestar que causa la pregunta por la filosofía latinoamericana entre nosotros, la cual se considera un presupuesto. En el texto, se reemplaza la pregunta “¿hay una filosofía latinoamericana?” por una nueva: “¿cuál es la mejor actitud filosófica desde el continente latinoamericano?” El problema ya no es la existencia de tal filosofía, sino el quehacer filosófico en América Latina.
Cultural Politics and Political Culture in Postmodern Europe
The present volume assembles essays from a broad cultural and professional spectrum around the question of European cultural identity. The heterogeneity of the contributors -- their differing points of departure and methods -- attests to a tension in intellectual communities which today is more intense than ever. Europe's identity crisis is not merely an empirical matter. It reflects a far deeper, and far older, discursive crisis. The mandate of Europe's traditional intellectual institutions to preserve and police their own cultural heritage has proved incapable of evolving in a manner sufficient to account for the mutation in its object: European culture. It is not merely that Europe's iden...
Tramas de la política cultural en Argentina
En sus distintas variantes, el neoemprendedorismo cultural ha tendido hacia la producción de eventos más o menos efímeros, aparentemente sin políticas culturales. Y continúa pesando el diagnóstico común de que "en Argentina no hay políticas culturales" y el recuerdo de las palabras de un ministro del área: "La cultura no tiene prioridad para el gobierno ni para mí". En contraposición a ello, este libro adopta una perspectiva de políticas culturales públicas, entendiéndolas como procesos y como productos de un vasto entramado de actores sociales que trabajan en la reelaboración, comunicación y resignificación de la materia simbólica en sus diversas expresiones. El libro traz...
Cultural Politics at the Fin de Siècle
Cultural Politics at the Fin de Siècle scrutinises ways in which current conflicts of 'race', class, and gender have their origins in the cultural politics of the last fin de siècle, whose influence stretched from the 1890s, when economic depression signalled the end of Britain's role as 'the workshop of the world', to 1914 when world war accelerated imperial decline. This collaborative venture by new and established scholars includes discussion of the 'New Woman', the reconstruction of masculinities, and of feminism and empire. The imperialist theme is pursued in essays on Yeats and Ireland, Gilbert and Sullivan, and the figure of the vampire. The rise of socialism and psychoanalysis, and the relationship between nascent modernism and late twentieth-century postmodernism are also addressed in this radical account.
International Cultural Policies and Power
Political scientists by and large ignore cultural industries and technologies whereas they are prominent in other disciplines. This book provides insights from local, societal, national, and international levels in understanding cultural industries, technologies, and policies and integrates these perspectives into the study of political science.
