Construction of Cultural Policy
University of Finland,
01 January 2000, Finland
The new book, Construction of Cultural Policy, considers many changes in cultural policy in the recent past.
It explores some of the following ideas:
the 20th-century’s idea of cultural policy focused on a comparatively narrow concept of culture;
state intervention in the arts and cultural fields, subsidising for various purposes, including nationalistic, propagandistic, and redistributive;
regulation of culture, its production, circulation and forms.
The publication raises the notion that the emphasis of cultural policy is notably shifting toward cultural access and participation, promotion of cultural diversity, the greater recognition of local cultures and community values.
Edited by Pirkkoliisa Ahponen and Anita Kangas (University of Finland), essays contained in the publication include:
