La 
muséologie: Histoire, développements, enjeux actuels; sous la direction de André Gob, Noémie Drouguet
ISBN 9782200630997
Publication date: 2021
La muséologie, à la croisée de la communication, la sociologie, l’histoire et la pédagogie, s’est imposée en tant que discipline académique et formation professionnelle à part entière. Cet ouvrage en dresse un panorama complet, illustré d’exemples, et présente les développements de la gestion, des techniques muséographiques les plus récentes ainsi que les fonctions que le musée est appelé à exercer au sein de la société. Il souligne la dimension politique de l’institution. Pour cette cinquième édition, les auteurs ont souhaité couvrir un large éventail de points de vue, en invitant des experts à s’exprimer à travers des « cartes blanches », regards singuliers sur cette « science des musées », évolutive et plurielle. En ces temps incertains où la culture est considérée comme facultative et les musées forcés à la fermeture pour des raisons sanitaires, il est plus que jamais essentiel que les acteurs de l’univers muséal développent une vision claire et engagée de leur action et de leurs institutions. Cet ouvrage est là pour y contribuer.
Géopolitique de la mode. Vers de nouveaux modèles sous la direction de Kurkdjian Sophie.
ISBN 9791031804224
Publication date: 2021
De tout temps, la mode a traversé les frontières au gré des marchands et des explorateurs qui rapportent tissus, teintures, techniques de tissage, etc. Mais c’est au XXe siècle que sa géographie se structure, autour de Paris d’abord, puis de Milan, Londres et New York qui se livrent une concurrence acharnée, révélatrice du rôle majeur de la mode dans le rayonnement de ces pays. Au tournant du XXIe siècle, l’apparition conjuguée des médias numériques et de la fast fashion engage une mutation complète : de nouveaux leaders, suédois, espagnol et chinois, rebattent les cartes de la production et de la consommation, tandis que nouveaux médias et réseaux sociaux en transforment radicalement la diffusion. Dans le même temps, la clientèle se modifie, bouleversant les manières de créer, de communiquer et de vendre. Sophie Kurkdjian analyse ces différentes évolutions passées et présentes de la mode, devenue phénomène global qui, au-delà de sa quête de créativité et d’innovation, doit repenser tout son système. Rattrapée par la surproduction et la surconsommation, la mode se trouve aujourd’hui aux prises avec des défis sociaux et environnementaux qui conditionnent son avenir.
Cultural Diplomacy in Europe by Caterina Carta (Editor); Richard Higgott (Editor)ISBN: 9783030215460
Publication Date: 2020-08-14
This edited volume explores European cultural diplomacy, a topic of growing interest across the scholarly and applied public policy communities in recent years. The contributions focus on Europe, culture and diplomacy and the way they are interlinked in the contemporary international context. The European Union increasingly resorts to cultural assets and activity for both internal and external purposes, to foster European cohesion and advancing integration, and to mitigate the demise of other foreign policy components, respectively. This calls for an analysis of the strategic role of culture, especially as it relates to the realm of EU external action. The chapters provide a conceptual discussion of culture in international relations and examine how this concept relates to cultural diplomacy and cultural strategy. The authors discuss roles and relationships with the EU's 2016 Global Strategy and current EU attempts to foster the EU's political and societal resilience.
Popular Culture and Social Change: the Hidden Work of Public Relations by Kate Fitch; Judy MotionISBN: 1351788256
Publication Date: 2020-10-29
Popular Culture and Social Change: The Hidden Work of Public Relations argues the complicated and contradictory relationship between public relations, popular culture and social change is a neglected theoretical project. Its diverse chapters identify ways in which public relations influences the production of popular culture and how alternative, often community-driven conceptualisations of public relations work can be harnessed for social change and in pursuit of social justice. This book opens up critical scholarship on public relations in that it moves beyond corporate understandings and perspectives to explore alternative and eclectic communicative cultures, in part to consider a more optimistic conceptualisation of public relations as a resource for progressive social change. Fitch and Motion began with an interest in identifying the ways in which public relations both draws on and influences the production of popular culture by creating, promoting and amplifying particular narratives and images. The chapters in this book consider how public relations creates popular cultures that are deeply compromised and commercialised, but at the same time can be harnessed to advocate for social change in supporting, reproducing, challenging or resisting the status quo. Drawing on critical and sociocultural perspectives, this book is an important resource for researchers, educators and students exploring public relations theory, strategic communication and promotional culture. It investigates the entanglement of public relations, popular culture and social change in different social, cultural and political contexts - from fashion and fortune telling to race activism and aesthetic labour - in order to better understand the (often subterranean) societal influence of public relations activity.
Cultural Mega-Events by Zachary M. JonesISBN: 9780367249847
Publication Date: 2020-03-25
Mega-events have long been used by cities as a strategy to secure global recognition and attract future economic investment. However, while cultural mega-events like the European Capital of Culture have become increasingly popular, cities have begun questioning the traditional model of other events such as the Olympic Games with many candidate cities cancelling bids in recent years. This approach to planning and developing cities through mega-events introduces a broad range of physical effects and nuanced institutional changes for cities, particularly for the more sensitive heritage areas of cities. This book explores these issues by first examining the dynamics of cities' attempts to reduce overall costs and increase the sustainability of these large events by further embedding them within the existing fabric of the city and second by studying in depth the impact on the heritage of host cities. This book investigates three World Heritage Cities: Genoa, Liverpool and Istanbul, each of which have hosted the European Capital of Culture and introduced a variety of opportunities and risks for their heritage. The book highlights the potential benefits and challenges of integrating event and heritage planning to provide lessons that can help future historic cities and heritage decision makers better prepare for such events.
The European Capital of Culture 2016 Effect by Bozena Gierat-Bieron; Joanna Orzechowska-Waclawska; Pawel KubickiISBN: 9783631818787
Publication Date: 2020-05-13
The European Capital of Culture is one of the European Union's most important cultural programmes, its significance transcending a narrow understanding of the cultural sphere. The scheme has been one of the foremost mechanisms contributing to the urban revival of European cities and increasingly close integration in many areas of social and cultural activity. The ECOC 2016 competition (2007-2011), entered by 11 Polish cities, took place in an exceptionally favourable context. The ECOC 2016 competition in Poland served as an impetus for many changes to take place in the participant cities. These particularly applied to the sociocultural sphere, encompassing such issues as a city's identity and social capital. Consequently, it became possible to create new urban narratives which also contributed to changes regarding the cities' images. In some cases, this could even be described as a real revolution which was able to take place as a result of unprecedented social mobilisation.
Handbook of Cultural Economics, Third Edition by Ruth Towse (Editor); Trilce Navarrete Hernandez (Editor)ISBN: 9781788975797
Publication Date: 2020-03-16
Cultural economics has become well established as a subject of interest for students and instructors of courses ranging from economics to arts administration as well as for policy-makers and practitioners in the creative industries. Digitization has had a tremendous impact on many areas of the creative economy and the third edition of this popular book fully reflects it. The Handbook of Cultural Economicsis an acknowledged leading source for students, teachers and others interested in finding out about the subject. Cultural economics covers a wide range of topics and they are reflected in the many short and accessibly written chapters. Each chapter is written by a specialist in the subject and offers both suggestions for further reading and cross-references to other related chapters in the book. It therefore combines accessibility with depth of knowledge. The intention of the book is to introduce the reader to the various topics and to testify to the strength of economics in explaining the economic aspects of the world of the arts and creative industries. The third edition demonstrates the huge impact that digitization has had on production and consumption in the sector. While being accessible to any reader with a basic knowledge of economics, it presents a comprehensive study at the forefront of the field for students and teachers of economics, business economics, creative industries, and media and arts administration as well as for policy-makers.
Mémoires collectives européennes by Christine CadotISBN: 9782379240225
Publication Date: 2019
Les usages politiques du passé ont construit le roman national. Mais n'existe-t-il pas également un roman européen ? Quelle lecture critique peut-on faire de ces injonctions répétées à créer une « mémoire collective européenne » unifiée ? Cet ouvrage entend interroger le constat porté par la quasi-totalité des chercheurs en science sociale : nos sociétés sont saturées de mémoires, historiques, culturelles, sociales, savantes, individuelles, que le discours ordinaire pare de toutes les vertus et de toutes les obligations morales. Qu’en est-il de ce constat lorsque nous parlons d’intégration européenne ?
Cultural freedom in European foreign policy by Gijs de VriesISBN: 9783921970304
Publication Date: 2019
In 2017 EU ministers said that culture is “an essential part of the EU’s international relations.” But the EU is a new-comer to the field of cultural diplomacy and its policy is still in its infancy, both conceptually and in terms of implementation. Many questions remain unanswered. How to draw the line between cultural relations and public diplomacy on the one hand and propaganda on the other? How to steer clear of neo-colonialism? How to encourage European governments, who are prone to national cultural show-casing, to work together and derive strength from unity? This paper will explore some of the contours of this emerging European Union policy, its potential as well as its limitations.
Licensing and Access to Content in the European Union by Sebastian Felix SchwemerISBN: 9781108475778
Publication Date: 2019-05-23
Publisher’s note: Copyright is territorial, but the same cannot be said of the internet, whose borderless nature has changed the way we consume copyright-protected material. Nevertheless, territorial segmentation of online content remains a reality in the 28 member states of the European Union. Licensing and access practices do not reflect this digital reality, in which end-users demand ubiquitous access to content. For this reason, the territorial nature of copyright and traditional business models based on national exploitation prevent the completion of the Digital Single Market. Sebastian Felix Schwemer provides a unique analysis of the dynamic licensing and access arrangements for audiovisual works and music and shows how they are being addressed by sector regulation and competition law in the Digital Single Market. His analysis, which includes case law of the Court of Justice, the Commission's competition proceedings, and various legislative tools, reveals the overlapping nature of legislative and non-legislative regulatory solutions.

Cultural Heritage in the European Union by Andrzej Jakubowski (Editor); Kristin Hausler (Editor); Francesca Fiorentini (Editor)ISBN: 9789004365346
Publication Date: 2019-06-20
Cultural Heritage in the European Union provides a critical analysis of the laws and policies which address cultural heritage throughout Europe, considering them in light of the current challenges faced by the Union. The volume examines the matrix of organisational and regulatory frameworks concerned with cultural heritage both in the Union and its Members States, as well as their interaction, cross-fertilisation, and possible overlaps. It brings together experts in their respective fields, including not only legal, but also cultural economists, heritage professionals, government representatives, and historians. The diverse backgrounds of the authors offer a cross-disciplinary approach and a variety of views which allows an in-depth scrutinisation of the latest developments pertaining to cultural heritage in Europe.
Small Cities with Big Dreams by Greg Richards; Lian DuifISBN: 9781351201186
Publication Date: 2018-07-20
How can small cities make an impact in a globalizing world dominated by 'world cities' and urban development strategies aimed at increasing agglomeration? This book addresses the challenges of smaller cities trying to put themselves on the map, attract resources and initiate development. Placemaking has become an important tool for driving urban development that is sensitive to the needs of communities. This volume examines the development of creative placemaking practices that can help to link small cities to external networks, stimulate collaboration and help them make the most of the opportunities presented by the knowledge economy. The authors argue that the adoption of more strategic, holistic placemaking strategies that engage all stakeholders can be a successful alternative to copying bigger places. Drawing on a range of examples from around the world, they analyse small city development strategies and identify key success factors. This book focuses on the case of 's-Hertogenbosch, a small Dutch city that used cultural programming to link itself to global networks and stimulate economic, cultural, social and creative development. It advocates the use of cultural programming strategies as a more flexible alternative to traditional top-down planning approaches and as a means of avoiding copying the big city.
Kultur by Stefan LüddemannISBN: 9783658231361
Publication Date: 2018-10-22
Kultur ist nicht nur Gegenstand von Kulturmanagement und Kulturpolitik, sondern vor allem ein komplexes und sich selbst tragendes System eigenständiger Sinnzuschreibungen. Die vorliegende Einführung entwirft Kultur als dynamisches Geschehen einer Bedeutungsproduktion, die in modernen, also funktional ausdifferenzierten Gesellschaften unverzichtbare Orientierungsleistungen erbringt. Eine so verstandene Kultur verbindet stabilisierende Gedächtnisfunktion mit innovatorischem Ausgriff und organisiert damit Selbstbilder einer Gesellschaft, die sich ihre Wirklichkeit immer wieder neu konstruiert. Das Buch beschreibt das Funktionieren einer so konstituierten Kultur, die Medialität, Reflexivität und Heterogenität als unhintergehbare Merkmale aufweist. Das so entworfene Bild der Kultur wird mit Beispielen, darunter der Kasseler Weltkunstschau Documenta, anschaulich gemacht.
