  • The London 2012 Cultural Olympiad: a New Model for Nation-Wide Olympic Cultural Legacy
    The London 2012 Cultural Olympiad: a new model for nation-wide Olympic cultural legacy By Beatriz Garcia1 Abstract The London 2012 Games will mark 100 years of official Olympic cultural programming and aspire to present the largest Cultural Olympiad yet, reaching out to the whole of the UK and providing full integration between Olympic and Paralympic cultural activity. The original bid for culture promised to engage youth and overcome barriers to participation from all social groups. To make this aspiration a reality, the Cultural Programme is being delivered not only by a culture team within the Organising Committee for the Games, but also thirteen creative programmers based in every UK region and nation. This unprecedented management framework has been made possible by the commitment of public stakeholders to ensure the Games leave a widespread legacy and the establishment of special funding arrangements for cultural activity inspired by the Games. London 2012 has created distinct activity identifiers such as the ‘Inspired by 2012’ mark, to maximise programming inclusion without challenging established Olympic global marketing guidelines. The range of managerial, funding and promotional innovations in the context of the Cultural Olympiad have created opportunities to maximise access and engagement to Games related activity throughout the country. But it has also involved important challenges in terms of synergy of vision, communications and Games association which point at the ongoing struggle to position the Cultural Olympiad as a core dimension of the Olympic and Paralympic experience. Keywords: Cultural Olympiad, Olympic art festival, cultural policy, torch relay, branding, Olympic and Paralympic synergy, UK-wide participation, regional cultural programmes.

  • Evaluating Scotland's London 2012 Cultural Programme
    Evaluating Scotland’s London 2012 Cultural Programme www.uws.ac.uk Evaluating Scotland’s London 2012 Cultural Programme Professor David McGillivray & Professor Gayle McPherson School of Creative & Cultural Industries University of the West of Scotland, Paisley Campus www.uws.ac.uk Acknowledgements This report detailing the outcomes of Scotland’s London 2012 Cultural Programme would not have been possible without the collaboration of our consortium partners and others. We would like to thank Dr Beatriz Garcia, of Liverpool Institute of Cultural Capital (ICC) and her invaluable contribution to the overall project, particularly the media analysis carried out for the case studies. Tamsin Cox, of DHA Communication, also provided expertise in data analysis and in designing the outline monitoring and evaluation framework contained in Chapter 7 of this report and we are in debt to her for the hours spent reconciling datasets. Finally, Rachel Granger of Middlesex University brought her expertise in geo-mapping techniques to explore partnerships formed as an outcome of the funding of Scotland’s London 2012 Cultural Programme. Without the support of the 54 project leads from Scotland’s London’s 2012 Cultural Programme in Scotland, the staff of key strategic agencies, Event Scotland, Festivals Edinburgh, Scottish Government and Creative Scotland completing this evaluation would have been much more difficult. Special mentions to Sarah MacIntyre who facilitated access to a range of data sources, Leonie Bell for providing detailed context about the Programme

Shakespeare and the Cultural Olympiad: Contesting Gender and the British Nation in the BBC's The Hollow Crown L. Monique Pittman, Andrews University Abstract As part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad celebrating both the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics, the BBC launched a season of programs, entitled Shakespeare Unlocked, most notably presenting the plays of the second tetralogy in four feature-length adaptations released under the unifying title The Hollow Crown. These plays so obviously engaged with the question of English nationalism suited a year in which the United Kingdom wrestled with British identity in a post-colonial and post-Great Recession world. Through its adaptative and filmic vocabularies, however, The Hollow Crown advances a British nationalism unresponsive to the casualties — often women and ethnic minorities — incurred over the course of Britain's self-formation and acts of self-defining.
