What is the cultural horizon? Opening up perspectives to face ongoing transformations Neocolonialist Practices in Cultural Governance in Malta as an EU State Dr Karsten Xuereb University of Malta, Malta [email protected] ABSTRACT Keywords: The case of cultural governance in Malta will be discussed to throw light on cultural policy, EU, neocolonialist practices persistent in the field of culture in the European Union (EU) European Capital today. A sense of continuity between British rule and current cultural governance in of Culture, Malta, neocolonialism Malta will be explored and assessed in relation to EU support of socially progressive policies yet liberal economic approaches to culture. It will be argued that this tension has allowed nationalistic tendencies and the instrumental use of the sector to grow. The term ‘culture’ is interpreted following Edward Said with regard to the acknowledgment of general social practices together with the struggle for the assertion of identities. This paper will argue that the adherence of the EU to the principle of subsidiarity in culture combined with the prioritisation of economic principles has compromised cultural development in Malta through the dilution of a critical approach towards cultural practice. This neoliberal approach has prolonged the colonial framework by enabling the subtle yet pervasive dominance of culture by the state elite. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to thank Dr Anthony Pace, Margerita Pulè, Anna Steinkamp and Dr Charles Xuereb. 5 Beyond EYCH2018. What is the cultural horizon? Opening up perspectives to face ongoing transformations 1 Introduction: Malta and the EU As widely documented in the field of cultural studies, the word ‘culture’ is one of the most problematic in the English language (Williams, 1976: 76). The term ‘culture’ will be interpreted in the light of Edward Said’s understanding of the word. On the one hand, this will refer to the popular practice that enables the expression of people’s interpretation of their social experiences. On the other, attention will be paid to the spaces where people related to different demographics struggle to assert their values and identities (Said, 1994: xii-xiii). The European Union (EU) adopts what may be described as a double approach towards culture: on the one hand it takes a generic angle at cultural policy; on the other it shows deference to the subsidiarity principle at Member State (MS) level. In describing cultural governance as practiced by national authorities and safeguarded by international convention, the supranational agency for the United Nations on education, science and culture (UNESCO) affirms ‘[t]he sovereign right of States to adopt and implement policies to promote the diversity of cultural expressions that are based on informed, transparent and participatory processes and systems of governance’ (UNESCO, 2017: 18). However, the continuation of colonial practices in cultural governance in Malta adds complexity to the neutral, prescriptive nature of this observation. In this paper, cultural governance is assessed in relation to British rule, officially ended in 1964 and EU membership, commenced in 2004.1 This paper argues that an assessment of cultural governance in Malta exposes a neocolonial social structure that throws interesting light on relations between the small island state and the EU. It may be argued that tensions between culture, economics and politics in the former are a reflection of those in the Union. It has been increasingly observed by critics that the EU attempts to bridge neoliberal economic priorities with social concerns through various means within its competence. Efforts at achieving a balancing act across different policy areas have led the EU to practice free market regulation while concurrently attempting to address aspects of social inequality and disaggregation through socially progressive policy. This tension between EU economic and social policy is structural. It spans across different territories, both internal as well as external to the Union (Cafruny, 2016: 9-27). The EU approach towards its economic, financial and political survival and expansion is of an aggressive nature (Marsili & Varoufakis, 2017: 14-17). Instances that illustrate this include its approach to those Europeans that suffered critically from the havoc of the 2008 economic and financial crisis and its irresolute alternation between austerity and solidarity. Another example consists of the programme of economic bilateral trade agreements promoting free trade with third countries, as well as the drive towards securing and securitising neighbouring territories

  • Promoting Urban Agriculture and Its Opportunities and Challenges—A Global Review

Therefore, it is vital to understand the contribution of academic studies on urban agriculture practices as scientific information. The present study followed a systematic literature review based on the PRISMA method. Finally, 54 identified articles were analyzed. The review study mainly examined the contribution of academic literature on urban agriculture under four dimensions: the socio- economic context of the country, type of agriculture model, opportunities, and challenges. The results revealed the focus of academic literature on urban agriculture to show favoritism toward developed countries’ community gardens. Moreover, the leading academic focus on this discipline identifies multifunctionality. People’s motivations in developed countries tend to favor social, health-related, and educational benefits of urban agriculture; however, in developing countries, urban agriculture is more related to economic and ecological needs. Challenges for urban agriculture are also different among developed and developing countries. Nevertheless, existing academic studies have given Citation: Wadumestrige Dona, C.G.; comparatively less attention to identifying challenges, benefit groups of urban agriculture, and Mohan, G.; Fukushi, K.

  • Developing a Management Plan for the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site
    Archaeology and the National Park Idea: Challenges for Management and Interpretation Marion Blockley Developing a Management Plan for the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site y the end of the eighteenth century, Coalbrookdale in Shropshire was famous. It had one of the largest ironworks in England—an en- terprise symbolized by the renowned Iron Bridge, the first such Bstructure ever built on a large scale (Figure 1). Abraham Darby’s Coalbrookdale Company pioneered the mass production of iron following the breakthrough in coke smelting in 1709. The ironmasters of the East Shrop- shire Coalfield went on to make the first iron wheels, rails, boat, aqueduct, and steam locomotive, as well as early steam cylinders. The great Iron Bridge was a key step in the use of iron in construction, and has become a universal symbol of the Industrial Revolution. Other industries, based on locally sour- ced materials, an industrialised working population, an advantageous trans- port network, and local entrepreneurs, also prospered. Coalport China (Fig- ure 2) and decorative tile ware in particular gained an international reputa- tion. Figure 1. The Ironbridge reflected in the River Severn. The bridge is currently swathed in scaffolding for a repaint. The Institute is using the opportunity for a detailed survey and record of the structure.

  • WH:UK and the Research Agenda Position Paper V1. Sept 2017
    WH:UK and the Research Agenda Position paper v1. Sept 2017 Why research matters to WHUK and its partners Research has been on the WHUK agenda ever since the organisation’s earliest inception. The Board took the view that well founded research would help to increase understanding of the UK’s sites and help achieve educational objectives related to WHUK’s charitable objectives. Moreover encouraging the publication and sharing of research increases the status and standing of WHUK as a an authoritative and knowledgeable expert body, well fitted to speak of the Sites and to represent their interests. Knowledge is power! In 2016 WHUK Professor Ian Wray and Dr. Carol Ludwig at Liverpool University in the Department of Civic Design undertook an extensive survey of partners to identify their research interests and needs (Ian Wray is Vice Chair of WHUK with a special interest in research issues). This was an open ended survey and was written up in the report ‘Towards an Outline Research Strategy’ available on the WHUK web site here: https://worldheritageuk.org/2016/10/11/towards-an-outline-research-strategy- for-world-heritage-uk/ The survey asked partners what sort of research WHUK should encourage and possibly commission. Based on the responses ten key research themes were identified: planning, tourism, visitor management, financial support, culture and identity, economic benefits and brand value, education and learning, environmental pressures, evaluation, and sharing research and data. Sharing our research knowledge and contacts Following discussion at the last annual WHUK conference in Caernarfon, Jamie Davies volunteered to take the research agenda forward with Ian Wray and was appointed by the Board as Honorary Head of Research for World Heritage UK.

    1 INTRODUCTION Site Location There is currently a proposal for a housing development on land off Simpson's Lane, Legge's Hill, Broseley (Fig. 1). The site in question is a 0.2ha area of open ground to the rear of Broseley Wood House; the eastern half of site is at present covered by graded spoil, and the western half is occupied by a level yard surface and concrete slab, creating a terrace on the steep hillside on the west side of King Street. History of the Site There is a long and well-documented tradition of clay tobacco pipemaking in Broseley. Legge's Hill probably derives its name from the Legg family, who were producing clay tobacco pipes in Broseley in the mid to late 17th century (Oswald, 1975, 32, 33, and 191) and it is likely that their pipeworks lay in close proximity to this site. The site is, however, also known to be the site of the William Southorn & Co. Tobacco Pipeworks (the Legge's Hill pipeworks), established by William Southorn probably in 1823 (Higgins et al, 1988), and in use as a pipeworks until the 1930s. This pipeworks is thought to have been the first purpose-built clay tobacco pipe factory, making this a site of potential national importance (Ironbridge Institute Research Paper No. 53). Following the transferring of the Southorn's pipemaking business to their King Street site in the 1930s, the site appears to have been used by a gate manufacturing business, still run by a member of the Southorn family (Higgins et al, 1988).

  • The Process of Economic Convergence in Malta and in the European Union
    The process of Economic Convergence in Malta and in the European Union Brian Micallef1 Policy Note March 2017 1 Brian Micallef is the Manager of the Research Office of the Central Bank of Malta. Helpful comments and suggestions from Dr Mario Vella, Mr Alfred Mifsud, Mr Alexander Demarco and Dr Aaron G Grech are gratefully acknowledged, The views expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Central Bank of Malta. Any errors are the author’s own. Corresponding author’s email address: [email protected] 1 Abstract This paper looks at long-run trends in economic growth in European countries, focusing in particular on the real convergence process in Malta. Evidence of convergence at the EU level is mixed. Relatively poorer countries such as the New Member States (NMS) that joined after 2004 experienced a faster pace of growth compared to the EU15 countries, supporting the ‘beta’ measure of convergence. On the contrary, measures of income dispersion (sigma convergence) have increased after the financial crisis, especially among the EU15 countries. Changes in each country’s GDP per capita in PPS relative to the EU average are decomposed into the effects of labour productivity and labour utilization. Robust economic growth after the crisis pushed Malta’s GDP per capita in PPS to be the highest among the NMS that joined since 2004. Malta’s convergence since 2000 was driven by a higher utilization of labour, mainly due to the increase in the participation rate. A cross- country comparison is used to identify two important lessons for a country’s convergence process.
