Cultural Administration Manual for Promoters and Administrators

Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú,
15 June 2009, Peru

Enrique González Carré and Diana Guerra Chirinos have written Manual de gestión cultural para promotores y gestores. Its goal is to educate cultural administrators.

Given that there is not a public policy on cultural administration and that there is a need for promoters and administrators in this field, this book fills this gap and becomes an indispensable manual, a text written in a didactical manner to educate the actors of cultural heritage conservation and projection. This is why Liliana Regalado de Hurtado, History Senior Professor at Pontifica Universidad Católica Arts and Humanities Faculty, who wrote the Prologue, states that: “Cultural administration proposes to identify cultural goods, to diagnose, to program, to use resources, to obtain financial resources and benefits (results and achievements that will not always be measurable in economic terms), etc., complex activities that call, each one of them, for initiatives, criteria and diligence”.

Enrique González Carré is an Anthropologist who graduated from Universidad San Cristóbal de Huamanga, where he worked as professor, vice-rector and rector (1994-1999). Diana Guerrero Chirinos, university professor, has a master’s degree in Cultural Administration given by Universidad de Barcelona and graduated in Humanities with a minor in history at Pontifica Universidad Católica del Perú.
