Book Synopsis Cultural Politics and Political Culture in Postmodern Europe by : J. Peter Burgess
Download or read book Cultural Politics and Political Culture in Postmodern Europe written by J. Peter Burgess and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 1997 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume assembles essays from a broad cultural and professional spectrum around the question of European cultural identity. The heterogeneity of the contributors -- their differing points of departure and methods -- attests to a tension in intellectual communities which today is more intense than ever. Europe's identity crisis is not merely an empirical matter. It reflects a far deeper, and far older, discursive crisis. The mandate of Europe's traditional intellectual institutions to preserve and police their own cultural heritage has proved incapable of evolving in a manner sufficient to account for the mutation in its object: European culture. It is not merely that Europe's identity, like any identity in the flux of history, has changed. Rather, the notion of identity, the very basis of any questions of who we are, where we are going, and the appropriate political forms and social institutions for further existence, all rely on a logic of identity which has, at best, become extremely problematic. It is this problematization which provides the common thread unifying the following essays. Each contributor, in his/her own way and with respect to his/her own research object, confronts the adequacy of the concept of cultural identity. The hidden presuppositions of this concept are indeed remarkable, and the logic of cultural identity prescribes that they remain undisclosed.

Instead, it tries to place culture in its proper political perspective in the Third World.
Book Synopsis Cultural Analysis by : Aaron B. Wildavsky
Download or read book Cultural Analysis written by Aaron B. Wildavsky and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Cultural Analysis, the fourth collection of his essays posthumously published by Transaction, Wildavsky argues that American politics, public law, and public administration are the contested terrain of rival, inescapable political cultures. Analysts of American politics distinguish liberals from conservatives and Democrats from Republicans, but do not explain how these categories of political allegiance develop, maintain themselves, or change. Wildavsky offers a cultural-functional explanation for ideological and partisan coherence and realignment. Wildavsky also felt that these dualisms did not adequately capture the ideological and partisan variation he observed on the political landscape. Like others, he detected another recurring strain of political allegiance: that of classical liberalism or libertarianism. People of this political stripe valued freedom more than equality (the primary political value of contemporary liberals), and also more than order, the primary political value of conservatives.
Book Synopsis Reflexiones sobre las políticas culturales brasileñas en el siglo XXI by : Juca Ferreira
Download or read book Reflexiones sobre las políticas culturales brasileñas en el siglo XXI written by Juca Ferreira and published by RGC Ediciones. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro Reflexiones sobre las políticas culturales brasileñas en el siglo XXI. Artículos y discursos de Juca Ferreira parte de una selección de textos del ex Ministro de Cultura de Lula y Dilma posteriores a 2011, e incluye la incorporación de unos pocos discursos de la etapa anterior, fundamentalmente aquellos emitidos en momentos de las transmisiones de cargo en 2003, 2008, 2011 y 2015, incluyendo, como epílogo, el paradigmático discurso de Gilberto Gil de 2003. Durante estos períodos Brasil ha sido uno de los principales referentes de la renovación de las políticas culturales en América Latina, asumiendo un liderazgo internacional sin precedentes, como por ejemplo sucedió con la sanción de la Convención para la Promoción y Protección de la Diversidad de las Expresiones Culturales en las Naciones Unidas, o en la creación de la política de Puntos de Cultura, que luego fue replicado por otros países de latinoamérica. Protagonista, junto a Gilberto Gil en sus comienzos, y luego en la conducción de los procesos de las políticas culturales brasileñas, Juca es un gestor cultural comprometido con el desarrollo de la democracia cultural presente en la mayoría de las luchas del campo cultural de las últimas décadas. Sus artículos y discursos presentan una gran vigencia y posibilitan e invitan a un debate necesario y fundamental para entender los procesos culturales contemporáneos.

Book Synopsis Cultural Studies and Political Theory by : Jodi Dean
Download or read book Cultural Studies and Political Theory written by Jodi Dean and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious collection of work at the intersection of cultural studies and contemporary political theory brings together leading thinkers from both traditions. Challenging the terms that have shaped the last 20 years of culture wars, the essays in Cultural Studies and Political Theory reject the accusations of the right that everything is political and of the left that politics is everything. They respond with an alternative, with an exploration of processes of politicization and culturalization that asks, "what does it mean for something to be political?"In affirming that there are different answers to this question, the contributors to Cultural Studies and Political Theory expand definitions of politics in light of transformations in globally networked, consumer-driven, mediated technoculture. Comprehending the production of the political is crucial at a time when the political and the cultural can no longer be decoupled and when we cannot know in advance who "we" are. By gathering the work of theorists who are redefining approaches to politics and culture, Jodi Dean establishes a set of directives for theoretical work at a new crossroads.
Download or read book Cultural Democracy written by David Trend and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1997-05-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the work of a range of public intellectuals like Stanley Aronowitz, Henry Giroux, bell hooks, Chantal Mouffe, and Cornel West, Cultural Democracy argues for a "radical democracy" capable of subverting traditional divisions of "left" and "right". In so doing, Trend suggests that solutions to contemporary cultural and political problems are not so far away as one might think. Their roots lie in the very democratic principles upon which the U.S.was founded, although many such principles need to be brought up to date and radicalized.
Book Synopsis Performing the Nation by : Jörgen Hellman
Download or read book Performing the Nation written by Jörgen Hellman and published by NIAS Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In sharp contrast to today's disorder was the apparent cohesion and stability of Indonesia during much of the New Order period (1965-1998). While Suharto's authoritarian rule was significant, the regime's cultural policies also played their part in demonstrating that his regime created order throughout Indonesia not just through coercive means. Ethnic, religious, and regional sentiments were to be channelled into art, which was used to help develop a national Indonesian identity. This theme is explored by this study, which focuses on the efforts of a group of young art students based at the Bandung Academy of Performing Arts to revitalize traditional Longser theater.
Book Synopsis Cultural Politics in the Age of Austerity by : David Berry
Download or read book Cultural Politics in the Age of Austerity written by David Berry and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008 another economic crisis emerged in the long history of capitalism which created a period of ‘austerity economics’ across many nations. Cultural Politics in the Age of Austerity examines how austerity has impacted upon cultural politics in relation to understanding how established power is both maintained and challenged. The book begins by detailing the meaning of cultural politics before exploring themes such as media discourse, austerity narratives, class, cultural hegemony/government policymaking, social movements and the European Union, and left responses to austerity. It also includes chapters tracing cultural politics in Spain, with a focus on anti-austerity movements and the relationship between austerity and Spanish football. Cultural Politics in the Age of Austerity assesses the impact of a range of cultural/political forms concerning the dynamics of society and relations of power during times of crisis. As such, it will appeal to scholars of culture, media, politics, philosophy, sociology and social psychology.
Book Synopsis The State as Cultural Practice by : Mark Bevir
Download or read book The State as Cultural Practice written by Mark Bevir and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-04-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State as Cultural Practice offers a fully worked out account of the authors' distinctive interpretive approach to political science. It challenges the new institutionalism, probably the most significant present-day strand in both American and British political science. It moves away from such notions as 'bringing the state back in', 'path dependency' and modernist empiricism. Instead, Bevir and Rhodes argue for an anti-foundational analysis, ethnographic and historical methods, and a decentred approach that rejects any essentialist definition of the state and espouses the idea of politics as cultural practice. The book has three aims: · to develop an anti-foundational theory of the state · to develop a new research agenda around the topics of rule, rationalities, and resistance · by exploring empirical shifts and debates about the changing nature of the state to show how anti-foundational theory leads us to see them differently. Bevir and Rhodes argue for the idea of 'the stateless state' or the state as meaning-in-action. So, the state is neither monolithic nor a causal agent. It consists solely of the contingent actions of specific individuals; of diverse beliefs about the public sphere, about authority and power, which are constructed differently in contending traditions. Continuity and change are products of people inheriting traditions and modifying them in response to dilemmas. A decentred approach explores the limits to the state and seeks to develop a more diverse view of state authority and its exercise. In short, political scientists need to bring people back in to the study of the state.

Book Synopsis Cultural Dilemmas of Progressive Politics by : Stephen Hart
Download or read book Cultural Dilemmas of Progressive Politics written by Stephen Hart and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have conservatives fared so much better than progressives in recent decades, even though polls show no significant move to the right in public opinion? Cultural Dilemmas of Progressive Politics highlights one reason: that progressives often adopt impoverished modes of discourse, ceding the moral high ground to their conservative rivals. Stephen Hart also shows that some progressive groups are pioneering more robust ways of talking about their issues and values, providing examples other progressives could emulate. Through case studies of grassroots movements—particularly the economic justice work carried on by congregation-based community organizing and the pursuit of human rights by local members of Amnesty International—Hart shows how these groups develop distinctive ways of talking about politics and create characteristic stories, ceremonies, and practices. According to Hart, the way people engage in politics matters just as much as the content of their ideas: when activists make the moral basis for their activism clear, engage issues with passion, and articulate a unified social vision, they challenge the recent ascendancy of conservative discourse. On the basis of these case studies, Hart addresses currently debated topics such as individualism in America and whether strains of political thought strongly informed by religion and moral values are compatible with tolerance and liberty.
