Finding the sweet spot
This paper contributes to debates about how cities create resilient systems for making, re-making and maintaining representations of culture. Our case traces how collaborative festival production implicitly created an infrastructure founded on shared values. This was formalised into city cultural policy using an ecosystem framework, which institutionalised these values, and meant that the ecosystem became partial, excluding creative commercial an…
The Democratic development potential of a cultural ecosystem approach
Culture is increasingly being deployed as a tool to deliver on development policy. This article understands ‘development’ as a process rather than simply an outcome — not unlike how culture has been understood (and has a long history of such) as a ‘noun of process’ (Williams, 1976: 87). This has been usefully summed up by Duxbury, Kangas & De Beukelaer (1999), referencing Sen as the underlying idea that ‘development should not be considered as a …

While the theology of God s otherness responds to the particularity which is God, …
After the Death of God
These recent volumes clearly show that the work of the recent generation of French philosophers, and the philosophy they continue to inspire, offer a splendid resource for theologians and theorists of religion. They stage a challenge to received divisions between philosophy and theology, deconstructing the secular/non‐secular bifurcation on which they rest. In this vein, the contribution of the ‘postsecularists’ is to emphasise the centrality of …
Definition and the Question of “Woman”
Within recent feminist philosophy, controversy has developed over the desirability, and indeed, the possibility of defining the central terms of its analysis—“woman,” “femininity,” etc. The controversy results largely from the undertheorization of the notion of definition; feminists have uncritically adopted an Aristotelian treatment of definition as entailing metaphysical, rather than merely linguistic, commitments. A “discursive” approach to de…
