Histories of Cultural Participation, Values and Governance
This book develops the first integrated, critical-historical examination of the terms, narratives and assumptions constructing present day notions of participation and value, and the relations between them. It proposes a radical re-evaluation of these relationships in two inter-related sections.
Counting the pennies
The Understanding Everyday Participation – Articulating Cultural Values (UEP) project is grounded in the belief that the current system for the support of culture promotes and privileges certain practices and activities, tastes, relationships and competences and that, crucially, this system has effects that extend outside of the cultural domain to the economic, political and social spheres. In order to challenge this dominance, UEP sets out to ex…
Libraries and the geography of use
The project “Understanding Everyday Participation – Articulating Cultural Values” (2012–2018) explores the ways in which the “situatedness” of participation is an important factor in understanding the socio-political dynamics of cultural participation [Miles, A., & Gibson, L. (2016). Everyday participation and cultural value. Cultural Trends, 25(3), 151–157]. This paper on the geography of library use is an early presentation of ongoing research …

Everyday participation and cultural value
[First paragraph] The articles in this special issue present some of the early findings of Understanding\nEveryday Participation – Articulating Cultural Values (UEP), a 5-year large grant\nproject, which began in 2012 and is part of the AHRC’s Connected Communities\nprogramme, receiving supplmentary funding from Creative Scotland. The project starts\nfrom the proposition that the orientation of cultural policy and state-funded cultural\nprogrammi…
Facilitated participation
Since the mid-nineteenth century, cultural practice and its management have been attached to a discourse that constructs participation, in particular kinds of cultural activity, as “beneficial” to individuals on the basis that its effects have resonance beyond the cultural sphere. More recently, “leading edge” cultural practice and programmes have been based on the notion that benefit from such participation occurs via the facilitation of the act…
Piazzas or Stadiums
Over the last twenty-five years or so there has been a ‘cultural turn’ in urban development strategies. An analysis of the academic literature over this period reveals that the role of new museums in such developments has oft en been viewed reductively as brands of cultural distinction with economic pump priming objectives. Over the same twenty-five year period there has also been what is termed here a ‘libertarian turn’ in museum studies and mus…

In defence of instrumentality
The discussion of the so called „instrumentalisation ‟ of cultural institutions and programmes has been a key focus for the cultural policy, museum and heritage studies literatures over the part few years. This article will challenge the historical accuracy of claims that „instrumentality ‟ is a recent „threat ‟ to the management and funding of culture. Rather I will argue that historically, instrumental cultural policies have been policies of pr…

Culture
Creative Industries and Cultural Development - Still a Janus Face
Since the 1970s, it has been possible to discuss cultural policy in terms of the discourses 'art as industry' and 'cultural rights' (for a discussion of this history, see Gibson, 2001). 'Creative industries' is the policy 'buzz term' of the moment. The ways in which the terms 'creative industries' and 'cultural rights' are understood in contemporary cultural policy encapsulate the ways in which the economic and humanistic benefits of creative pra…
Cultural development meets rock and roll (or what government can learn from pop music festivals)
An interrogation of the dissonance between youth art policy and the actual forms of youth cultural production and participation is informative in relation to discussion of cultural development. These debates are characterised by discussion of the relations between culture and the construction of identity, cross-sectoral partnerships for sustainable cultural funding, and the convergence of cultural forms. Youth arts policy presents challenging opp…
The Arts as Industry
There is a discursive split in Australian arts policy between subvention of the arts justified in terms of 'humanistic' objectives and subvention of the arts justified in terms of 'economic' objectives. It is possible to locate the emergence of this particular split to the 1976 Industries Assistance Commission Report, Assistance to the Performing Arts. Over the last two decades, these policy objectives have been constructed as in competition. Thi…
