Foreword This new UNESCO Global Report “Re|Shaping Cultural Policies” is an invaluable tool for the implementation of the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions. This Convention, now ratified by 146 Parties, including the European Union, is leading UNESCO’s efforts to strengthen capacities for the creation, production and dissemination of cultural goods, services and activities. States are supported in their sovereign right to implement public policies for the development of strong and dynamic cultural and creative industry sectors. UNESCO is committed to developing more effective and sustainable public policies in these areas. Our roadmap is clear and requires the cooperation of governments and non-governmental actors in four key areas: strengthening governance for culture, improving the conditions for the mobility of artists, integrating culture in sustainable development strategies, and promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms. These four goals are closely linked to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Since it was first published in 2015, this Report has significantly improved the evaluation and monitoring of cultural policies around the world. By analyzing progress, new approaches to strategic issues have emerged, such as on artistic freedom, the mobility of artists, gender, public service media and digital creativity. This Report demonstrates that innovative cultural policies implemented at regional and local levels have a positive impact on the whole of cultural governance. It highlights the strategic frameworks best adapted to the digital environment, the emergence of exchange platforms and the dynamism of artistic incubators in the global South. It also points to the persistent inequalities and under- representation of women in the culture sector, trade barriers on cultural goods and services from the global South and the vulnerability of artists at risk. By providing yet unpublished statistics and data in these areas, this Report is essential for developing and implementing public policies that are adapted to the evolving needs of the culture sector. I wish to thank the Swedish Government and the Swedish International Development Agency for their unwavering support and call on all Member States to take ownership of the results of this pioneering Report and to invest in the potential of cultural activities and the creative industries as engines of economic development, social cohesion and human dignity. Audrey Azoulay Director-General of UNESCO Foreword 3 Acknowledgements This second edition of the Global Report on the implementation of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (2005) would not have been possible without the contribution of many people.

Forthcoming, 2002. 1 The second author wrote this paper while a Marvin Bower Fellow at the Harvard Business School and is grateful for their support. We also thank Elizabeth Mannix, Rita McGrath, and an anonymous reviewer for their insightful suggestions. 2 Organizations face increasingly dynamic environments characterized by substantial, and often unpredictable technological, political, and economic change. How can organizations respond rapidly to such changes or become more agile? Organizational agility, according to Lee Dyer, “requires a judicious mix of stability and reconfigurability” (2001: 4). We consider an unlikely source of agility: organizational culture. This may seem like an odd juxtaposition since strong unitary cultures exert a stabilizing force on organizations by encouraging cohesion, organizational commitment, and desirable work behaviors among members (e.g., Deal & Kennedy, 1982; Nemeth & Staw, 1989; O'Reilly & Chatman, 1986).

  • 2 the Cultural Economy of Fandom JOHN FISKE
    2 The Cultural Economy of Fandom JOHN FISKE Fandom is a common feature of popular culture in industrial societies. It selects from the repertoire of mass-produced and mass-distributed entertainment certain performers, narratives or genres and takes them into the culture of a self-selected fraction of the people. They are then reworked into an intensely pleasurable, intensely signifying popular culture that is both similar to, yet significantly different from, the culture of more ‘normal’ popular audiences. Fandom is typically associated with cultural forms that the dominant value system denigrates – pop music, romance novels, comics, Hollywood mass-appeal stars (sport, probably because of its appeal to masculinity, is an exception). It is thus associated with the cultural tastes of subordinated formations of the people, particularly with those disempowered by any combination of gender, age, class and race. All popular audiences engage in varying degrees of semiotic productivity, producing meanings and pleasures that pertain to their social situation out of the products of the culture industries. But fans often turn this semiotic productivity into some form of textual production that can circulate among – and thus help to define – the fan community. Fans create a fan culture with its own systems of production and distribution that forms what I shall call a ‘shadow cultural economy’ that lies outside that of the cultural industries yet shares features with them which more normal popular culture lacks. In this essay I wish to use and develop Bourdieu’s metaphor of 30 THE CULTURAL ECONOMY OF FANDOM describing culture as an economy in which people invest and accumulate capital.

  • Minister of Counterculture
    26 Guardian Weekly December 23 2005-January 5 2006 Culture Gilberto Gil is a musical legend - and now a senior Brazilian politician. He tz Minister of counterculture Gilberto Gil wears a sober suit and tie these days, and his dreadlocks are greying at the temples. But you soon remember that, as well as the serving culture minister of Brazil, you are in the presenceof one of the biggest l,atin American musicians of the 60s and 70s when you ask him about his intellectual influences and he cites Timothy l,eary. "Oh, yeah!" Gil says happily, rocking back in his chair at the Royal SocietyoftheArts in London. "Forexam- ple, all those guys at Silicon Valley - they're all coming basically from the psychedelic culture, you know? The brain-expanding processesof the crystal had a lot to do with the internet." Much as it may be currently de rigueur for journalists to ask politicians whether or not they have smoked marijuana, the question does not seem worth the effort. Gil's constant references to the hippy counterculture are not simplythe nostalgia of a 63-year-old with more than 4O albums to his name. For several years now, largely under the rest of the world's radar, the Braeilian government has been building a counterculture ofits own. The battlefield has been intellectual property - the ownership ofideas - and the revolution has touched everything, from internet file- sharing to GM crops to HIV medication. Phar- maceutical companies selling patented Aids drugs, for example, were informed that Brazil would simply ignore their claims to ownership and copy their products more cheaply if they didn't offer deep discounts.

  • Defending the Right to Freedom of Artistic Expression
    Defending the Right to Freedom of Artistic Expression K. Bennoune, Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights Art-at-risk conference, Zürich, Switzerland 28 February 2020 Good evening. It is a real pleasure to be here with you at this important gathering with artists and defenders of artistic freedom from Switzerland and from all over the world. I’d like to thank the organizers for this very special convening, and also for inviting me. I realize that I stand between you and your Friday evening at the end of many rich discussions so I thank you sincerely for your attention. This evening, I am going to talk about defending the right to artistic freedom within the broader context of defending cultural rights as a whole, drawing from my report on Cultural Rights Defenders to be presented to the UN Human Rights Council on Tuesday March 3.1 I will share some of the ideas in this report. Let me express my sincere gratitude to those in this room from different regions who made contributions to the report which greatly enriched it. The main point I wish to make this evening is that if the international community values artistic freedom, it must find ways to better support and enable the work of those who defend that human right. It must also respect and ensure their human rights. I start with a personal anecdote. Last Sunday I was very stressed about getting ready for this trip. So I decided that I needed a culture cure. I spent the afternoon in the San Francisco area with cultural rights defenders.

URL : http://journals.openedition.org/eccs/1118 ; DOI : 10.4000/eccs.1118 AFEC From Britishness to Multiculturalism: Official Canadian Identity in the 1960s Shannon CONWAY University of Ottawa The 1960s was a tumultuous period that resulted in the reshaping of official Canadian identity from a predominately British-based identity to one that reflected Canada’s diversity. The change in constructions of official Canadian identity was due to pressures from an ongoing dialogue in Canadian society that reflected the larger geo-political shifts taking place during the period. This dialogue helped shape the political discussion, from one focused on maintaining an out-dated national identity to one that was more representative of how many Canadians understood Canada to be. This change in political opinion accordingly transformed the official identity of the nation-state of Canada. Les années 1960 ont été une période tumultueuse qui a fait passer l'identité officielle canadienne d'une identité essentiellement britannique à une identité reflétant la diversité du Canada.

  • 1. Cultural Governance – Where Culture Belongs in Relation to Governance and Representation
    1. Cultural Governance – Where Culture Belongs in Relation to Governance and Representation The Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission Social Justice Report of 2012, on page 86, proposes a framework for effective, legitimate and culturally relevant Indigenous governance that has three key components: • community governance • organisational governance • the governance of governments. Sadly, in the post – ATSIC period, issues relating to Indigenous Governance and Indigenous representation have been relegated to second tier issues and the role of Aboriginal culture [as distinct from ‘the arts’] has been relegated to a third tier issue. In the post – ATSIC period we have witnessed a range of initiatives relating to the Governance of Government, most notably the COAG arrangements, Close the Gap and specific initiatives such as the COAG Remote Service Delivery arrangements. Across the same period we have seen the development and enhancement of a range of initiatives relating to organisational governance, most notably the role of ORIC and also the proliferation of PBCs. But across that same period, there has been almost no development in regards to issues of community governance, except in as much as there are aspects of organisational governance and the governance of governments which do relate to the community. Indeed, Governments oftentimes demonstrate through their policy and funding actions that they believe that there are only two dimensions to Governance, and they totally ignore the reality that community governance has traditions which date back over 60, 000 years. The way that these traditions play out in terms of Governance and Representation in the Kimberley can be seen through the KALACC logo, as attached, and as described in the Indigenous Governance Toolkit: KALACC represents themselves through a simple diagram of concentric circles.
