tract new talents and to bring together the next generation of promising cultural policy researchers.

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the ENCATC network, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the 6th Young Cul‐ tural Policy Researchers Forum and the 9th Cultural Policy Research Award Ceremony. This year we are gathering in London, one of the world’s most vibrant and culturally diverse metropolises. What a better setting to bring together cultural policy researchers, experts, academics and trainers from all over Europe and beyond to network, forge partnerships and hone their analytical and methodology skills.

With the aim to encourage deep and dynamic discussions, 35 young researchers were in‐ vited to attend the Forum in London. The rich mix of ages, nationalities and fields of study will expose participants to new perspectives, ideas and opportunities that will have a lasting impact on their research endeavors and out‐ looks long after the Forum ends. This day and a half event will begin on the af‐ ternoon of Tuesday, 11 September with inten‐ sive and in‐depth workshops chaired by ex‐ perts in their field of research. Forum partici‐ pants are invited to express their reflections on one of three themes: Cultural and Creative Industries, Cultural and External Relations, and Cultural Networking. Tuesday late after‐ noon and Wednesday morning will continue in plenary sessions where participants will learn about current research topics and trends. On the afternoon of Wednesday, 12 September, the Forum will merge with the 20th ENCATC Annual Conference, “Networked Culture” with

The YCPR Forum was initiated in 2006 by the European Cultural Foundation and since 2008 has been implemented by ENCATC, the lead‐ ing European network on cultural policy and cultural management education. Over the years, this initiative has become the ideal oc‐ casion for young researchers to expand their personal and professional networks, explore new research approaches and stimulate inno‐ vative thinking. The record number of more than 80 applications in 2012 proves the Fo‐ rum’s standing as an annual gathering to at‐ 2

the aim to bring together young and re‐ nowned experts and confront them with a vi‐ brant generation of talented international re‐ searchers.

The Cultural Policy Research Award would not be possible without for the generous invest‐ ment from the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond and the pragmatic contribution of the fund’s Senior Advisor, Mats Rolén. We are sincerely grateful for the foundation’s continued finan‐ cial support and desire to engage the next generation of cultural policy researchers.

On the evening of the 12th, in the presence of ENCATC Annual Conference attendees and YCPR Forum participants, the international Cultural Policy Research Award jury will offi‐ cially announce the winner of the 10 000 EUR Award. This Award will help the winner to carry out his or her research proposal and publish their findings. Launched in 2004 as a joint initiative of the European Cultural Foun‐ dation and the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, the CPRA is open to academics, researchers and policymakers from Council of Europe countries and 35 years of age or younger. Since 2008 the Award has been managed by ENCATC.

ENCATC sincerely thanks the intellectual and pragmatic contributions of Isabelle Schwarz and Tsveta Andreeva from the European Cul‐ tural Foundation. Their advice and readiness to support the different phases of the Forum’s implementation was highly valued. ENCATC extends its thanks to all the CPRA jury members (Eleonora Belfiore, Lluís Bonet, Jacques Bonniel, Timo Cantell, Sanjin Drago‐ jevic, Mikhail Gnedovsky, Therese Kaufmann) for their commitment and in particular the CPRA jury president, Lluís Bonet for his sup‐ port during the implementation of this ambi‐ tious project.

This Reader has practical information about the Forum and provides an overview of the event, workshops, participant profiles, useful resources and more. Building on the success of previous editions, we have made the Reader available to you before the start of the Forum in London to give you ample time to familiarise yourself with the Forum’s content and structure. You can also take a look at the participant profiles and learn about the other researchers you will meet in London. We in‐ vite you to print this document, read it, and make it a truly “useful” document by writing down your notes, comments, ideas, reflec‐ tions and questions. Come ready and pre‐ pared to dive into the Forum when you arrive in London!

We are delighted this year to have the contri‐ bution of two Scientific Coordinators. With a record number of applications, we deeply thank Michael Quine for his dedication during the application review and selection process. We greatly appreciate the work of Jacques Bonniel to create a dynamic programme that serves as the backbone of this event. Both Sci‐ entific Coordinators have been an immense added value in the implementation of the YCPR Forum. From our own team, ENCATC would like to thank Elizabeth Darley who has been responsi‐ ble for the logistical organization and commu‐ nication of the YCPR Forum and CPRA. Her professionalism and enthusiasm are once more greatly appreciated.

ENCATC would like to take a moment to ex‐ press our dearest thanks and appreciation to everyone who has dedicated their time and effort in making this event possible.

ENCATC wishes to thank Gerald Lidstone and Carla Figueira from Goldsmiths, University of London. Not only is Goldsmiths kindly hosting the YCPR Forum, but the ENCATC Brussels of‐ fice has been at ease knowing that we had

ENCATC is extremely grateful and honoured that the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) has entrusted the management and organiza‐ tion of such an important initiative.

such dedication from our British partner as they have excellently prepared everything for our arrival in London. Last, but certainly not least, ENCATC would like to thank all the Forum participants who will travel near and far to join us. We thank you for your contributions to this Reader and the ENCATC bibliography database. We believe the following pages provide you with useful information and that your partici‐ pation in the Forum and the outcomes offer you with inspiration and new outlooks when conducting your current and future research.

PRESENTATION mote the progressive integration of young cul‐ tural policy researchers into the professional world of investigation in cultural policies both in the most current issues and questions, but also in its methods and tools.

The Forum for Young Researchers was initi‐ ated in 2006 by the European Cultural Foun‐ dation (ECF). Since 2008, it has been a joint project managed by ENCATC. Following the success of previous Forums held in Vienna, Lyon, Barcelona, Brussels, Helsinki and this year will take place in London. The YCPR Fo‐ rum will begin on the afternoon of Tuesday, September 11th and end on the evening of Wednesday, September 12th. Organised within the framework of the 20th ENCATC Annual Conference, “Networked Culture”, this is the fourth time these two events have been fully integrated and it marks a further important step in ENCATC’s dedication to support cul‐ tural policy research.

It is with particular interest this year that we invite Forum researchers to contribute their ideas and reflections about the 3 main themes to be explored during the 20th ENCATC Annual Conference, “Networked Culture”: Cultural and External Relations, Culture and Creative Industries, and Cultural Networking. For the past 20 years ENCATC has encouraged trainers and educators in the cultural manage‐ ment and cultural policy field to rely on the most recent research trends in the cultural field and to update their curriculum and train‐ ing content. In this framework, ENCATC also encourages researchers, both the young and the experienced, to address and undertake sensitive issues facing the fields of art and cul‐ ture.

Over 80 young cultural policy researchers from Europe and beyond applied to attend this year’s YCPR Forum in London. Applica‐ tions were reviewed by the selection commit‐ tee and invitations were sent to successful applicants. Our particular objective this year is to pro‐ 5

Cultural policy frameworks, whatever their models and structures, have been strongly modified due to economic and cultural global‐ ization. Evolution in cultural practices is also due to the constant innovation of new tech‐ nologies and an expanding Internet culture.

tural operators and institutions are competing for public and private resources? How can we over come barriers that might impede the suc‐ cess of this intercultural and interdisciplinary cooperation? How can we assure value ‐ both for the quality of cultural products as well as for the diversity of those audiences reached?

The three Forum workshops aim to provide an environment for young researchers to develop deeper reflection and questioning on what concerns these changes in order to grasp a better understanding of the effects changes have on strategies, actions and operations of cultural professionals, stakeholders and policy makers.

What can we expect this year? In creating this year’s agenda, the goal has been to create a programme that allows for in‐depth reflection, questioning and discus‐ sions, while at the same time encouraging a dynamic and open environment with every possible opportunity for interacting, exchang‐ ing practices and networking. Researchers at‐ tending the Forum are encouraged to be ac‐ tive participants as an event of this kind is only as valuable as the input shared from each per‐ son who attends.

Two workshops ‐ Cultural and External Rela‐ tions and Creative and Cultural Industries – will address some of these changes. The first will discuss all the relationship between cul‐ tures in an interdependent world. The latter will deal with those developments that cause a changing in the philosophy of art and culture connected to the development of the cul‐ tural and creative industries thus allowing them compete with the performing arts and cultural heritage who have traditionally held privileged status in the cultural field.

Because we have made the Forum Reader available to you before the event, we are hop‐ ing to skip the normal long personal introduc‐ tions that kick off most events since all partici‐ pants have their profile included in this docu‐ ment. We want all participants to come pre‐ pared to jump right into the Forum activities.

The third workshop on Cultural Networking will concentrate on the way in which cultural operators build appropriated answers to changing professional paradigms: the net‐ working question will be at the heart of the discussion. How can cooperation be imple‐ mented and sustainable in a world where cul‐

The Forum is made up of several elements: on the first afternoon after a brief introduction, we will separate into the workshop groups. Participants will have prepared their reflec‐ tions beforehand. Working in these small 6

groups will allow you to pool your knowledge and diverse backgrounds to come up with a research approach and methodology to be presented and discussed with the other Fo‐ rum participants during the workshop presen‐ tations during the Tuesday evening Plenary Session.

for questions from the CPRA Jury and, of course, other participants. After breaking for lunch, Forum participants will join the ENCATC Annual Conference par‐ ticipants for the opening of the event. From this point on, the YCPR Forum will merge with the Annual Conference programme.

The workshops will be followed by a short presentation, from the CPRA 2011 winner, Aleksandar Brkic. He will share with us his pro‐ gress, challenges, issues and solutions as he carries forward his research project on “Cultural Policy Frameworks (Re)constructing National and Supernational Identities: the Bal‐ kans and the European Union”.

The afternoon will begin with the 3rd ENCATC Annual Research Session followed by a key‐ note speech on Networking by Karen Stephen‐ son from the University of Rotterdam fol‐ lowed by a debate chaired by Isabelle Schwarz from the European Cultural Foundation. Finally, the day will end with the Cultural Pol‐ icy Research Award Ceremony where this year’s 10 000 EUR award winner will be un‐ veiled. This evening reception offers YCPR Fo‐ rum participants the opportunity to meet and network with ENCATC delegates who include researchers, academics, cultural managers and major stakeholders.

YCPR Forum participants are encouraged to come to dinner at New Cross House which is a local pub near Goldsmiths, University. This informal evening will allow to you mingle and network with the other participants in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Wednesday morning will start off with the presentations from the six CPRA finalists who will each in turn present and discuss their re‐ search proposals to the seven CPRA jury mem‐ bers. This is very much an open session and Forum participants will be joined by members of ENCATC, the leading European Network on Cultural Management and Cultural Policy edu‐ cation attending the 20th ENCATC Annual Con‐ ference. Time for this is obviously limited, and each of the six finalists has been given strict instructions about time‐keeping so as to allow

We look forward to meeting all the partici‐ pants and very much hope that you will enjoy your time in London and come away great ex‐ periences, new contacts, new skills and deve‐ loped competences that will be useful in your future research endeavours.

BACKGROUND Some observations on the evolution of this Forum Vienna, Lyon, Barcelona, Brussels, Helsinki and now London. Entries from a gazetteer, maybe? In fact they are the cities where growing numbers of Young Cultural Policy researchers have made the time to come together over the last six years, building on the continuity of the CPR Award programme which had started in 1994, and entering into dialogue, debate and (we hope) continuing relationships.

of themes as being key topics they hoped to discuss. These themes were picked up from previous years’ interests, and it is valuable to observe how those wider and less‐specific ideas have vanished from the applications: themes such as “the role of Brussels in the development of cultural policy” or “the role of civil society in …”. Instead, there is much more specificity being suggested /offered: such as “the relationship of EU Cultural Policy approaches to national, (or sub‐national) (or regional) cultural policies”; case studies addressing matters of practice and principle in relation to the built environment or even the intangible heritage such as, for instance, folk music, as it relates to both sustaining a cultural identity and encouraging a visitor/ tourist attraction.

In these diverse cities, diverse themes have come to the fore over the six years, becoming more precise and specific as time has passed. It’s easy to identify the ‘generic’ themes using expressions such as ‘cultural diversity’, ‘protection of cultural heritage’, the interests of ‘cultural minorities’; and, of course, ‘methodologies’. Over time, however, the arguments and themes have become more specific, and it is rewarding too to see how the interests of the artist are being more frequently identified – their work conditions, the markets for what they generate.

There are increasing numbers applying from outside the EU and its geographical neighbours and a good number now say that they are exploring the relationship of the state to the market (and/or the third sector) in countries undergoing political transition. Or just hoping to.

In earlier years, we invited those who applied to attend to mark one or two of a selected list

CultureWatchEurope) “It may be useful to focus on and begin to measure the impacts of change directly and indirectly caused by the changes of approach to state financing of culture”. While formal State‐derived facts and figures will come in time, a wide spread network such as this Forum has generated is surely well placed to develop some grass‐root observation of effects.

Methodology seemed to be a frequent concern, but in recent years they seem to have lost their significance. This is probably because, with a greater pool of applicants , the organisers can select people who are further on in a research career. Indeed the definition of attenders remains loose: “young cultural policy researchers” – ‘young’ can be seen as a matter of age in years, or of context in the field; and ‘researchers’ can be seen as those who already have a PhD, those who are working towards one, who are planning to start one; or, of course, those who have got into a research role without such formal qualifications.

Michael Quine YCPR Forum Co‐Scientific Coordinator

Two themes, for all that, are only lightly represented. There appears to be little will to look at ways of measuring cultural value, at the impact of decisions and actions taken in the name of arts and cultural policy. Maybe these actual outcomes take time to work through. And there appear to be very few people showing practical interest in the possible effects of the present economic conditions.

WORKSHOP SESSIONS

During the Forum, we invite you to attend one of three intensive workshops on the afternoon of 11 September: Cultural and External Rela‐ tions; Creative and Cultural Industries; and Cultural Networking.

YCPR Forum Tip sheet: The 3 Bs

Getting the most out of your Forum experience…

These themes correspond to the themes of the ENCATC 20th Annual Conference, “Networked Culture”. Working more deeply on these themes will be useful for the after‐ noon of 12 September when the YCPR Forum and ENCATC Annual Conference participants come together for keynote speeches and net‐ working. The aim of these workshops is not to have the themes correlate exactly to your area of research (it would be impossible to accommodate everyone!), but serve as an ex‐ ercise to practice your analytical and method‐ ology skills and work in teams with research‐ ers with different research backgrounds, na‐ tionalities, ages, etc. You will be guided by a research expert who will animate the work‐ shop and lead discussions. We hope this will be an excellent opportunity to learn from oth‐ ers and hone your skills and competences that will be of value as you continue your research.

1. BE ACTIVE We would like to remind all participants that they are precisely that ‐ participants ‐ not observers, let alone passive observers. As with any event of this kind, it is only as valuable as the input shared from each person who attends. Don’t be shy about shar‐ ing your ideas in this open environment.

2. BE OPEN This is your opportunity to learn about different or new methodologies and perspectives. We are lucky to welcome such a diverse group of young resear‐ chers representing over 20 different nationalities from Europe and beyond.

3. BE CURIOUS Although everyone attending the Forum is conside‐ red a “young” researcher, some are further along in their careers, some are just beginning. Some have published articles and papers; others have recently finished their MA. Regardless of where you stand, we can all learn from one another so don’t hesitate to ask questions!

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES & PREPARATION: We kindly ask that Forum participants prepare their reflections before they arrive in London. There is no need to prepare a paper, but we ask that you reflect on the questions below and jot down your ideas so you are ready to actively participate in the discussion. During the first workshop session Part I, from 15:00‐16:30, participants will have time to explore and discuss their workshop theme. The second session Part II, from 17:00‐17:55, will be time for participants to prepare their findings. All workshop participants will come together to present their results to the other participants during the plenary session from 18:00‐18:45.

WORKSHOP A ‐ Cultural & External Relations: In an ever increasingly interconnect world, cultural and external relations are becoming more vi‐ tal in a diverse and intercultural environment. Here are some guiding questions for reflection:

1. How are cultural and external relations supported? At what levels? (local, regional, na‐ tional, other?) 2. What orientation can cultural and external relations take? Which orientations are the privileged choices? (diplomacy, territorial influence, culture at the service of local policies…) 3. How are cultural operators impacted by cultural and external relations? 4. What are the resources that can be mobilized to improve the development of cultural and external relations? human resources (specialized personnel, valued competences), financial resources, (volume, source), political resources (priorities, lobbies) WORKSHOP B ‐ Creative & Cultural Industries: Over the past 20 years with the expansion of internet culture and the power of new information and communication technologies, the cultural landscape has been shaken and forced to adapt to a changing social environment. In this workshop participants will take a closer look at the ques‐ tions raised by cultural operators and by researchers in 2012.

1. What do we know about the effects of CCI on the cultural practices of our generation? 2. What is the competition in terms of budgetary consumption of households, of time? How do consumers choose? 3. How do new information technologies and consumption habits affect traditional “going‐out” cultural activities? (theatre, opera, museums…) 4. How can cultural operators use CCI to develop and improve their cultural offers? (production adaptation, audience research, setting communication targets, developing more appropriated Public Relations…) WORKSHOP C ‐ Cultural Networking: This workshop has the objectives to establish the current situation of research in the field of net‐ working in each country of the young researchers in attendance, to make a typology of networks and demonstrate the research methodology on networks. Here are some guiding questions to help you prepare:

1. What type of networks are studied by different disciplines? (musical, visual arts, heri‐ tage) 2. How are networks impacted by geographic boundaries? (national, regional, Southern and Northern Europe, etc.) 13

3. What are the functions of networks? What role do they play? (representation, outside visibility, exchange of good practices, etc.) 4. What research methodology would you use to study networks? What is the approach? Quantitative? (statistics) Qualitative? (using interviews, life stories, direct observation, par‐ ticipating, etc.) 5. What are the links between networking and lobbying? 6. How can networks improve professional practices?

WORKSHOP GROUPS: YCPR Forum participants were asked their workshop preferences. We did our best to accommo‐ date all preferences, but we wanted to ensure the groups are balanced (age, sex, nationality, ar‐ eas of research…) in order to take advantage of the rich diversity of participants so some ma‐ noeuvring was necessary. YCPR Forum participants who did not give their preferences were as‐ signed a group. We thank you in advance for your understanding.

Dr. Karen Stephenson, hailed in Business 2.0 as “The Organization Woman”, is a corporate anthropologist and lauded as a pioneer and "leader in the growing field of social‐network business consultants." In 2007, she was one of only three females recognized from a distinguished short list of 55 in Random House’s Guide to the Management Gurus. In 2006, she was awarded the first Houghton Hepburn Fellow at Bryn Mawr College for her groundbreaking contributions to civic engagement. In 2001, her consulting firm Netform was recognized as one of the top 100 leading innovation companies by CIO. Her prominence catapulted in 2000 when she was featured in a New Yorker article by Malcolm Gladwell, regarding the social dynamics of office spaces. Before these accolades, Stephenson had earned praises for innovatively solving a variety of complex problems which have been featured in The Economist, Forbes, The Guardian, The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company and Wired. Drawing upon her prolific experience and 400 member database, Dr. Stephenson consistently delivers that “aha’’ moment to her clients and audiences. A global nomad, she has been sighted at the Rotterdam School of Management at Erasmus University where she currently lectures. This was preceded by 5 years at the Harvard School of Design and 10 years at the UCLA Anderson Graduate School of Management. She received her Ph.D. in Anthropology at Harvard University, an M.A. in Anthropology at the University of Utah, and B.A. in Art & Chemistry at Austin College, TX. You can read about her here and find her company at www.netform.com.

Debate chaired by Isabelle Schwarz, European Cultural Foundation (18.50‐19.00) Isabelle Schwarz joined the European Cultural Foundation in 2002 with the assignment to build up a cultural policy development strand for the foundation. Since June 2009, she leads the programmes, grants and advocacy team with the ambition to generate sustainable links that add value to the individual programme areas. Former Executive Director of the European Network of Cultural Administration Training Centres, first in Brussels then Copenhagen, she launched within ENCATC the Nordic‐Baltic Platform for Cultural Management.

In my ongoing research I am confronting a specific conjuncture: popular music in 1980s crisis‐ridden industrial cities. Focusing on the relation among subcultures, 21

space, local policies and economic crisis, I am examining Turin (Italy), Tampere (Finland) and the Ruhr urban conurbation (Germany) as they were experiencing the first painful times of deindustrialization and crisis. Through the analysis of the hardcore‐punk scenes active in these towns, I try to delegitimize forms of economic or aesthetic reductionism and achieve a more nuanced understanding of possible forms of cultural resistance during times of economic recession.

Age: 31

Institution: Institute for European studies, Paris VIII University, France ch_hripsime@yahoo.fr Area of research / study: Cultural policies and collective identity in Caucasus, cultural heritage, memory and identity, culture and post‐soviet period What is your current research? My PhD research project focuses on the evolutions and the challenges of cultural systems and policies in the region of South Caucasus in Armenia and Georgia since the independence of 1991 after the collapse of the USSR. This period is marked by 22

deep transformations both politically, economically and culturally for two republics as the so‐ called transition to democracy and a market economy, was accompanied by many challenges for young States, including territorial conflicts, which have a significant impact on the cultural policy building. Besides, the total rejection of their recent Soviet past called into questions the identity references and representations of the world. Thus, the question of the reconstruction of national identity becomes an important issue for Armenian and Georgian public policies in order to unite people around a new common national project. The thesis focuses especially on those processes of reconstruction of the collective identities by the public policies for culture. The study will use the comparative method of research to examine the role of cultural heritage and memory policies of two countries.

Francesca Cominelli Nationality: Italian Age: 31 Institution: University of Paris I Panthéon – Sorbonne, CES ‐ Sorbonne Economic Centre, France cominellifrancesca@gmail.com Area of research / study: Intangible Cultural Heritage, cultural diversity, economics of arts and culture, cultural policy, cultural commons. What is your current research? My PhD research focuses on the Economics of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). In particular, it concerns cultural policy for traditional craftsmanship, which was recognized by the UNESCO Convention of 2003 as being part of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The aim of this Convention is not to protect craft products, but rather the skills and knowledge necessary for their ongoing production. In this framework, my study seeks to answer to the following main questions. Firstly, how can traditional craftsmanship be defined ? Secondly, what are the motivations of a public intervention in this sector? Thirdly, what are the main forms of governance of traditional craftsmanship adopted in the framework of French cultural policy? Finally, which institutional settings and policy tools should be undertaken to assure the safeguarding of traditional craftsmanship? My recent publications include: Cominelli F.

‐ ‐ ‐ Area of research / study: ‐ ‐ ‐ What is your current research? My research is looking at public arts funding in Europe. The last two decades have witnessed considerable social and economic changes in European countries. Such changes had an effect on European arts policies and particularly on arts funding. Differences in patterns of arts funding between countries are a consequence of both differences in shifting demographic, political and economic conditions and of differences in general cultural policy vision and goals. The research project I am currently developing is a comparative research that explores the fiscal aspect of cultural policy in the European Union countries. The main interests of the research are to: a) estimate the impact that economic changes, particularly economic crises, has had on arts funding in Europe; (b) investigate the association between socio‐ demographic changes (e.g. ethnic diversity) and arts funding; (c) show how different economic ideologies and changes in the political inclinations of governments is related to arts policy and arts funding. The research will have to take into consideration the substantial discrepancies between arts funding mechanisms in different European countries.

Age: 27

Institution: Oxford Brookes University, United Kingdom deniz.ikiz‐2010@brookes.ac.uk Area of research / study: Cultural heritage management, World Heritage Sites, historic urban areas, global cities, decision‐making, complexity What is your current research? This research focuses on multi‐layered historic urban areas designated as World Heritage Sites in global cities, which are often threatened by economic and urban development pressures. The unique values attributed to each site, their significances, limitations of existing legal instruments and decision‐making mechanisms, along with participation of a broad range of actors to the management process at different stages generate complexities in their management. Thus, this study intends to contribute to knowledge by identifying management complexities of global heritage cities and analysing how effective management mechanisms can be developed to deal with them.

I am scrutinizing the isomorphism at the cultural provision of district municipalities of Istanbul. Previously, I expounded how coercive, mimetic and normative isomorphism mechanisms affect the organisational structure, programming, management and staff of the municipalities. Now, I want to explore more the motives and reasons behind the content and choices of programming and explain why and how the content tends to be conventional then contemporary or diverse. At the end of this research, I aim to evaluate the role of the cultural management training in the public administrations and discuss the meaning of professionalism in the cultural management.

Institution: Centre for Museology and Heritology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, Serbia vikac986@gmail.com Area of research / study: Heritage management, civil engagement, public participation, sustainable development What is your current research? My current research focuses on communities’ participation in heritage institutions as means of contributing to broader policy objectives related to sustainable development. The main research hypothesis is that the active role and participation of individuals, groups and communities in the process of heritage governance contributes not only to more sustainable use of heritage but also to the social, human and cultural sustainability. The focus of the argument is on the ways in which governments, institutions and actors responsible for heritage safeguarding should embrace and use communities’ participation (volunteering, crowdsourcing, consultations, etc) in order to contribute to generation of physical, human, social, economic and cultural capital.

Currently performing research on the changing perspectives on, and framework for, the music industry in current context for production of music, market, policy and industry. During the past 30‐40 years, the field of music in Norway has undergone a significant development in terms of both scope and professionalism. Cultural agents within the music industry hold a central role in the cultural value chain in professionalization of the field of music and development of long‐term artistic and cultural production. Although the cultural industries in general are receiving increasing policy attention, the level of knowledge about the music industry in Norway is still best described as limited in terms of both qualitative and quantitative data.

Area of research / study: Ethics of cultural policy, human dignity/rights: artistic freedom, the audience and the concept of sovereignty, Feast and (art) theatre, Cultural diversity/identity/ heritage What is your current research? Engaged in applied philosophy, my current research covers a transnational perspective regarding the differences in cultural identity/heritage. Targeting the moral implications of the human dignity/rights discourse, my aim is to get to know in how far this concept could be helpful in order to assume a good and a right cultural policy. Theoretically, I agree with Richard Rorty's proposal to follow Eduardo Rabossi's suggestion not ontly to discuss the foundations of human dignity and rights, but to discover the way, too, under what conditions human rights could be naturalized. In this respect, some questions arising: What do we mean by using the term “cultural policy”? What does “artistic freedom” mean to the concepts of “public” and “sovereignty”? Are there any “values”? – Strongly interested in the EU‐cultural policy, I'm focusing secondly and practically on the place of (art) theatre in the contemporary European Union and in their external relations. In this regard and understood as a driving force for social coherence, the question grab my attention, if (art) theatre now‐a‐days should play a role in the process of naturalisation? And if so, how?

Institution: University of Tallin, Estonia Birgit.Luus@tlu.ee Area of research / study: Arm´s length principle, the Baltic states, Europeanization of cultural policies, democracy, centralisation/decentralisation, comparative cultural policies What is your current research? I defended my Master´s thesis "Arm´s length principle as a mechanism for funding the cultural field in the Baltic states” in spring 2012. My research was based on the substantive document analysis of the key‐documents (laws, by‐laws, cultural policy guidelines) and in‐depth interviews with the representatives of the arm´s length principle institutions/programme in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and it aimed to analyse and compare how the arm´s length principle has been interpreted and to what extent it has been applied in the Baltic states as a mechanism in the public funding system for the cultural field. My research 29

confirmed suggestion by Per Mangset, that countries with centralist political tradition accept more “easily” the involvement of the political leaders in the allocation of funding to the cultural field and interpret the arm´s length principle in a more centralised way. Analysis brought out the main differences and limitations in the roles the arm´s length principle institutions/programme have in the overall funding system for the cultural field in the given countries. The broader question of the research was to point out the progress that has been made in terms of democratisation/Europeanization of the cultural policies in the Baltic states.

I am working towards my PhD which is focuses on mobility of EU artists beyond the EU and the relevance for EU external relations. The research aims to stimulate the ongoing debate on the role of culture in EU external relations and the role that the mobility of artists beyond EU borders can play in the promotion of a European culture based on the values of cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue in other regions of the world. Through the study of relevant bibliography, interviews with EU artists on their life stories of professional mobility experiences beyond EU borders and through interviews with policy‐ makers at the European level, the research will compare the artists' needs and objectives with existing policy priorities and programs in order to provide a framework for the elaboration of policies, while highlighting the need of synergies and coordination at different policy levels. Currently I am conducting a research on the role of young people in intercultural and inter‐faith dialogue in the Mediterranean, commissioned by the EuroMed Youth Platform (to be published in October 2012) and consisting in an overview of existing policies, projects and tools and interviews with young people from the region (artists, journalists, activists, youth workers etc) in order to identify challenges, barriers and draft policy recommendations.

What is your current research? My current research explores the constitution of transcultural aesthetics and the (non)representation of transculturality in European artistic discourses. It focuses on the oeuvre of artists and filmmakers from diaspora and immigrant communities, whose work is often marked by the complex dynamics between European and non‐European sentiments. The autoethnographic character of the case studies serves as a stance for studying the interrelation between EU cultural policy, artistic mobility and co‐creativity. The project also investigates the potential convergence between institutional and non‐institutional ‘politics of 31

representation’ and whether the transcendence of boundaries between both can shape the construction of a European public sphere and social imaginary. My recent publications include: MARKOVA, L.

My current research focuses on cultural policies in “extreme lands”, new media and art production. The technological, social and economic environment that characterizes the beginning of this century is laying the foundations for new scenarios in the communication of culture in ‘extreme’ areas. The optimal conditions to take advantage of these possibilities can only be achieved through the will of the local authorities and through an active participation of the population itself .

Institution: Sandblast Arts, United Kingdom violeta@sandblast‐arts.org Area of research / study: Ethnomusicology: music and development, music and conflict, music and politics 33

What is your current research? Sandblast Arts is a London‐based arts and human rights charity working with the indigenous Saharawis from Western Sahara, most of which have been living in refugee camps in SW Algeria for more than 36 years, to create opportunities for them to empower their voices through the arts. We are currently at early stages of developing an ambitious music empowerment project called Studio‐Live, which aims to facilitate the development of a Saharawi music industry, in the camps, that can be internationally recognized and a creative hub for the dispersed Saharawi community. As Assistant Project Manager, I have been conducting social, ethnomusicological and cultural research about the Saharawi community and the uses and meaning they give to music for the past 8 months. This has included two short periods of fieldwork on the ground, both in Western Sahara and in the Saharawi refugee camps. The aim of this research is to find out the real musical and cultural needs of the Saharawi community, especially in terms of training and material resources, to determine the best way to implement the different stages of the project. For that I have spoken to Saharawi musicians, artists, scholars, archivists and cultural policy makers of the Saharawi Ministry of Culture. I have found a very good response towards the project and its aims. Saharawi music has been used throughout history as a way of story‐telling and nowadays musicians want to continue using their music to make international audiences more aware of their situation. They want to send their voices to the outside through music. My recent publications include: RUANO POSADA, V.

On the other hand, an overemphasis on cultural identities might lead to a reification of stereotypical images and practices of (self‐)exoticization. From a comparative perspective, I aim to shed a light on how different national and urban contexts filter and shape global scripts of cultural diversity. I argue that non‐European migrants are transforming European national cinemas into a transnational World cinema. My recent publications include: SAEYS, A. (forthcoming). Imag(in)ed Diversity.

Hanna Schüle Nationality: German Age: ‐ ‐ ‐

Institution: University of Gothenburg, Sweden hanna.schuhle@gu.se Area of research / study: International cultural relations, foreign cultural policy, EU cultural policy, EU (cultural) external relations, European culture(s), promotion/ communication of culture What is your current research? In my dissertation (European Ethnology) I focus on the work of EUNIC. With an emphasis on practices, actions and representations, the purpose of my research is to examine how European culture in its diversity is promoted by different EUNIC clusters. I concentrate on three aspects of EUNIC’s work: the symbolic (what is promoted as European cultural diversity and how), the relational (how is the respective host country involved in EUNIC’s promotion of European culture in its diversity) and the institutional/organizational (the involvement of the members in a cluster; the cooperation with the EU). The basis of my research is ethnographic material gathered within EUNIC Berlin, EUNIC Ukraine and EUNIC Vietnam. In addition I am conducting a research project about the perception of Europe outside of Europe for the German Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, ifa (Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations).

Area of research / study: Civil society, non‐profit sector, NGO, Social Enterprise What is your current research? “Updating non‐profit sector in cultural sphere in the time of financial crisis: sustainability and impact of NGO and Social Enterprise projects”. NGOs have proved to play an important part in advocating interests of some minor groups and giving life to civil initiatives in many spheres of public policy. In the changing social, political and economical realias non‐profit sector must unavoidably be updated to be able to produce effective service and meet the needs of the community. Over recent time we have witnessed the emergence of a new stakeholder in cultural sphere – Social Enterprise, which in many ways have proved to achieve more sustainable impact on the cultural sector and public policy. The main aim of the research is to examine the role, interrelations and possible collaboration of NGOs and Social Enterprise that in total will help to strengthen non‐profit sector in culture.

Institution: Faculty of Dramatic Arts, University of Arts, Belgrade, Serbia projectmilena@hotmail.com Area of research / study: Cultural policy, Cultural diplomacy, Arts management, Cultural indicators and statistics, Storytelling, Education and the arts What is your current research? The topic of my research is the relationship among different management theories applicable to the public sector (i.e. New Public Management, Stakeholder theory, Balanced scorecard), instrumental cultural policy and possibilities of applying some aspects of these theories in contemporary setting of Serbian cultural institutions and cultural policy setting. Having in mind that cultural policy in Serbia has been changing for at least last twelve years with strong transitional features, but without major improvements or real progress, I am exploring the possibilities of ambitious and possibly very controversial changes in current management models, and more specifically, in cultural policy towards public theatres. By analyzing and applying different concepts and tools to public theatres, selected as the test case, I will try to find common terms and denominators for a range of public cultural institutions.

Area of research / study: Cultural policy, cultural management, audience development, participatory culture, participatory media, crowdsourcing and crowdfunding, cultural tourism, tourism animation What is your current research? My current research looks at the funding agendas of both national and international funding bodies and the ways in which audience participation is defined, assessed and evaluated. Reason for that is the fact that one of the main drivers for the participatory design of cultural projects in Serbia and the Balkans are European funding agendas, which prioritize participation. Thus, the motivation for the involvement of public is mostly financial in the nature. That often leads to confusion, overly formal, dishonest and shallow participation. The main question of the research is: What is the role of various funding bodies in setting the participatory agenda of cultural projects in the Balkans. My recent publications include: TOMKA, G.

Area of research / study: International cultural heritage policies What is your current research? My current research is on the protection of cultural property during armed conflict. Although, during the 20th century, a lot of prevention measures were developed (legal, policy, civil society, heritage sector, military), the destruction of cultural property during armed conflict is not decreasing. Therefore, this research analysed the existing prevention strategy. The ineffectiveness of the prevention strategy seems not to be caused by a lack of measures. It is rather due to a lack of lessons learned, a lack of cooperation and coordination and a lack of adjustment of the measures to the nature of current armed conflict and profiles of current perpetrators. 37

PRESENTATION The Cultural Policy Research Award was launched in 2004 by the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) and the Riksbankens Jubil‐ eumsfond, and since 2008, is run and devel‐ oped in partnership with ENCATC.

Since 2004, eight promising young researchers have won the Award which represents an im‐ portant achievement for them in this disci‐ pline, and a key step in the production of new knowledge. By having more than 100 young researchers involved in the annual competi‐ tion since its creation, the CPRA has widened the map of young cultural policy researchers in Europe, and raised their visibility and recog‐ nition.

What is the CPRA? Designed to foster academic and applied cul‐ tural policy research and to explore issues at stake in contemporary Europe, the Cultural Policy Research Award aims to contribute to new competence building among young schol‐ ars in comparative cultural policy research.

The 10 000 EUR Award is crucial in enabling one cultural policy researcher every year to carry out their research. One of the main out‐ comes of the CPRA competition is the publica‐ tion of the winner’s policy paper.

Through the CPRA annual competition, the programme partners aim to encourage and enable cultural policy researchers to take a step from evaluative (descriptive) to compara‐ tive applied research that can inform policy‐ making and benefit practitioners active in the field. The Award is devoted to research pro‐ jects which shed light on contemporary Euro‐ pean cultural issues and challenges by analyz‐ ing them and offering policy solutions.

So far six CPRA publications have been made available: “Why we need European cultural policies: the impact of EU enlargement on cultural policies in transition countries” by Nina Obuljen (2004) “The position of cultural workers in creative industries: the south‐eastern European per‐ spective” by Jaka Primorac (2005) 40

Project Proposal: Rethinking Cultural Policies for Intangible Cultural Heri‐ tage: A Community‐Based Approach

Description: The Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), adopted by UNESCO on October 17, 2003, defines ICH as ¡§the practices, repre‐ sentations, expressions, knowledge and skills [¡K] that communities, groups and individuals rec‐ ognize as part of their cultural heritage¡¨ (art. 2.1). These elements which are deeply rooted in territories and communities, represent critical factors for creating new global and competitive scenarios. As emphasized by the Convention, ICH belongs to the community, and is held by spe‐ cific members. It is not static but continually transforms and innovates. Familiar with a percep‐ tion of heritage as being something material, monumental, and aesthetic, most European coun‐ tries struggle with this new cultural paradigm. Consequently, a major challenge nowadays is to define appropriate cultural policies for the safeguarding of ICH at regional, national and interna‐ tional levels. From this perspective, the proposed research aims to explore the major role of com‐ munities in the design and innovation of cultural policies for ICH. To do so, I will select, analyze and compare case studies from five European countries (Greece, Italy, France, Portugal and Tur‐ key). This fieldwork will permit the collection of original information, data and ideas about com‐ munity‐based experiences, projects, structures and strategies developed in order to produce, recreate, maintain and transmit intangible heritage at local level. The results of the fieldwork and comparative research will highlight the main issues to take into account while defining cultural policies in the field of ICH. This bottom‐up approach strives for fostering, inspiring, and diversify‐ ing cultural policies within this domain at the European level. These results and acquired knowl‐ edge may then be relevant to the larger domain of cultural policies and contribute to their inno‐ vation.

Project Proposal: Developing Culture and Culturing Development: A criti‐ cal analysis of the link between cultural industries and sustainable human development in the Global South

Description: Within the context of accelerated globalization, the worl‐ dwide interest in cultural and creative industries (CCIs) is continuously expanding. Also in the Glo‐ bal South, these ideas have been gaining considerable currency. Nevertheless, the foundations, aspirations, and results of CCIs are increasingly subject to critical scrutiny. In response to the ten‐ sion between interest and critical considerations, my research aims at fostering dialogue bet‐ ween critical perspectives on cultural industries and international development studies. These fields engage with similar issues, yet differences in geographical focus, jargon, and key concerns have, so far, largely impeded meaningful interaction. While, from the late 1970s onwards, very valuable early contributions to the understanding of cultural industries in a global context have been made, these ideas seem to have attained far greater attention in culture‐based disciplines (cultural [policy] studies, communications studies, cultural geography, etc) than in development 46

studies. As a result, most writings on the link between CCIs and development are commensurate with modernization theories of linear progress. Transgressing this teleological thinking is precise‐ ly what ‘culture and development’ studies has been all about. A thorough grounding of the analy‐ sis in the Human Development and Capabilities approach will be complemented by a critical take on development from the Culture and Development (C&D) school of thought. As such, both the overarching human development aims, and the culturally influenced roads towards implementa‐ tion are duly taken into account. The close scrutiny of the ARPEM case study will provide tho‐ rough insight in one of the few explicit development projects focused on the cultural industries projects in the Global South. ARPEM is an European Commission‐funded development program coordinated by the NGO Culture et Développement. The aim of the project is to set up music in‐ dustries incubators in Abidjan, Ouagadougou and Dakar as a means of local development. The originality of the research is twofold. On the one hand I will locate the ARPEM project in the wi‐ der development and cultural industries context through discourse analysis and use ‘outcome mapping’ to empirically explore the effects of the project on the local music ecologies. On the other hand, this research aims to better link the overlapping but largely disparate debates in cultural industries and human development.

Project Proposal: Managing Complexity of Cultural World Heritage Sites in European Global Cities

Description: This research focuses on the complex cultural policy frame‐ works and management systems of multi‐layered historic urban areas des‐ ignated as World Heritage Sites in European global cities. The unique Outstanding Universal Val‐ ues attributed to each site, their significances, limitations of existing legal instruments and deci‐ sion‐making mechanisms, along with participation of a broad range of actors to the management process at different stages generate complexities in their management. Thus, it intends to con‐ tribute to knowledge by identifying management complexities of European global heritage cities and analysing how effective management mechanisms and policies can be developed to deal with them. In this respect, a comparative analysis approach will be implemented to examine the complex management structures of the global heritage cities of Istanbul and Paris, which are se‐ lected as case cities based on a set of criteria. Then, the broad scope of these cities are narrowed down to specific cases, which are designated as large‐scale development projects that threaten the heritage attributes, of these sites and are recognised as a concern or threat by the World Heritage Committee, thus stipulating the development of certain actions. The analysis of these cases will contribute to the identification of complexities and analysis of tools adopted by differ‐ ent stakeholders to cope with the management challenges. In conclusion, this research intends to make an original contribution to literature by introducing the size, scope and complexities of global cities to the fields of cultural policy and heritage management. 47

Project proposal: Artistic mobility at the heart of EU external relations: reflections from the artists and policy recommendations

Description: Culture is gaining an increasing importance as a way of sha‐ ring values with the global community and not only as a bridging tool inside the European Union. A political will to bring a stronger cultural component in the EU external policies goes hand in hand with the promotion of cultural mobility to other regions of the world, given that the mobili‐ ty of artists has an impact both in the hosting as well as in the departing community due to the added social and cultural value of the artist's work. The focus of the inclusion of culture as a com‐ ponent in EU external relations so far has been placed on the level of will of member states to allow margins of EU intervention and actions in this direction, however, the role of the artists that engage in mobility projects outside the EU has been neglected. What is preventing the EU to engage artists at the forefront of international cultural cooperation with other regions of the world? What are the different agendas when artists and policy organizations engage in collabora‐ tions outside the EU borders? Do artists understand their symbolic value as cultural ambassadors when working outside the EU or do they feel that they might be exploited as a political tool? What are the reasons for artists to seek a mobility experience outside the EU? Is it the result of seeking new inspirations, new markets and better opportunities and how is it related to the re‐ cent financial crisis in Europe? What kind of policy recommendations and measures can be taken to achieve a balance between the artists' objectives and EU priorities in a way that artistic creati‐ vity and freedom of expression are not endangered? Which could be the role of EU representa‐ tions in other regions of the world and other EU policy bodies to achieve this? What synergies should be put into place with the member states as well as with other actors from the local, re‐ gional or private sphere? The proposed research will shed some light on the opinions of the ar‐ tists on their role in the promotion of a European culture beyond EU borders. Artists might be seeking an input to their creative process and development, the enhancement of their social abi‐ lities of civic competences, social networking and expansion of horizons and potential markets for their works. The research will study how can a common ground be achieved. Through a tho‐ rough study of the relevant bibliography and interviews with artists that have had mobility expe‐ riences for professional reasons beyond the EU, as well as through interviews with policy makers at the European level, the proposed research will study the level of disparity of needs and priori‐ ties and propose some policy recommendations on what policy objectives and what support measures can be taken in order to help artists achieve their objectives in the same time that they can contribute to the promotion of a European culture based on the values of cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue in other regions of the world.

Project proposal: Imag(in)ed Diversity. Toward A Transnational European World Cinema

Description: European cultural policies are increasingly promoting cultural diversity. This project aims to investigate how cultural diversity policies 48

are implemented in European national film production in general and how they affect the film projects of non‐European migrants in particular. On the one hand, the recent celebration of cul‐ tural diversity opens up opportunities for the cultural expression of minorities. On the other hand, an overemphasis on cultural identities might lead to the reification of stereotypical images and practices of (self‐)exoticization in multicultural societies. Through a cross‐national compari‐ son of film production and reception, I want to highlight how the promotion of cultural diversity shapes the projects of migrant film directors. Comparing the film projects of migrant directors in different European world cities, this research project aims to shed a light on how different na‐ tional and urban contexts filter and shape global scripts of cultural diversity. In particular, I will investigate how cultural policies influence the film productions of migrant directors in world cit‐ ies like Paris, Hamburg, Brussels and Amsterdam. By focusing on the active participation of mi‐ grants in European film industries, this project aims to counter dramatic narratives about the fail‐ ure of integration. The participation of migrants in European cultural production urges us to re‐ think cultural policies beyond the idea that cultures are the expressions of particular territorial identities. Against the idea that migrant film directors represent an ethno‐national cinema, I ar‐ gue that the increased participation of non‐European migrants in European film industries is transforming European national cinemas into a more open transnational World cinema.

Project proposal: Cultural Heritage for Development: a Critical Perspective on UNESCO‐Policies

Description: The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Orga‐ nization (UNESCO), the leading international organization in cultural heri‐ tage policy, is increasingly focusing on the ‘power of culture for development’ (e.g. CLT/2010/ WS/14). Moreover, UNESCO has developed multiple instruments in order to meet the needs of developing countries to protect their cultural heritage. However, developing countries are still significantly underrepresented in ratification rates of UNESCO Cultural Heritage Conventions and in listed sites. This research thoroughly examines this situation using different methods in order to elucidate its multiple facets. Therefore, firstly, discourse analysis is used to explore how the concepts of ‘cultural heritage’ and ‘development’ became interwoven in UNESCO policies. This phase aims to explore how the subject was maintained and transformed in discursive practice. The analysis will mainly be based on the theory and method of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), since this theory considers discourse as a phenomenon relating to other (non‐discursive) dimen‐ sions such as the economic and the institutional. Moreover, other relevant developments (interdiscursivity) in UNESCO discourse will be taken into account. Without exploring this and illu‐ minating underlying assumptions, alternative possibilities cannot fully develop. Secondly, an eva‐ luation of the relevant UNESCO policies is carried out using the Policy Delphi Method for obtai‐ ning stakeholders’ knowledge inter alia about the motives of developing countries to be involved or not and about the extent to which UNESCO heritage policies are adjusted to the needs of de‐ veloping countries. The research will result in concrete policy recommendations on the UNESCO heritage policy related to development. Herewith, this research contributes more fundamentally to theoretical and methodological developments in research relating to cultural heritage policies and in the emerging field of critical heritage studies.
