The objectives of the research were: 1) understand the nature and the educational and cultural dimension of the CMP from the empirical particularities that characterize its internal movement and its external intervenients; 2) problematize the possibilities and limits of the CMP in giving access to musical culture as an element of humanization of senses of the population who attends there, having in mind the molds of its genesis, from its development and its concretion in the city of Ponta Grossa living. The arguments of this thesis is mainly based on Marx‟s theorical and methodological principles, especially in the ontological dimension of the esthetic and social thinking developed by Marx and Engels that recognize the art as one of the ways of object of the social being. According to this perspective, arguments formulated by Lukács about the art are taken into account, the process of the constitution of the man in its whole and its role in the human emancipation. This research involved relative theoretical studies on the literature review and its documental analysis and empirical studies through interviews and questionnaires aimed to candidates, students, applicants, teachers and directors of the CMP, public administrators of the culture and cultural agents from the city of Ponta Grossa, and they were analyzed from a qualitative approach. The results of the research allow us to say that, regardless all limitations on material, political and human behalf on the CMP as a public institution of musical teaching, the educational process developed promotes a resizing of the conceptions, expectations, objectives and knowledge about music, art and culture of the students who were there, which contributes to the legitimation of a different social position in relation to the development of the human senses of the amount of people from Ponta Grossa who attends this place. / Este estudo analisa as determinações políticas e sócio-históricas que caracterizaram o Conservatório Maestro Paulino Martins Alves (CMP) de Ponta Grossa, Paraná, durante o período compreendido entre os anos 1971 e 2014. Os objetivos da pesquisa foram: 1) compreender a natureza e a dimensão educacional e cultural do CMP a partir das evidências empíricas do seu movimento interno e dos seus intervenientes externos; 2) problematizar as possibilidades e limites do CMP na promoção do acesso à cultura musical como elemento de humanização dos sentidos à população que o frequenta, tendo em vista os moldes da sua gênese, do seu desenvolvimento e da sua concreção na realidade ponta-grossense. A argumentação da tese sustenta-se prioritariamente nos fundamentos teórico-metodológicos marxistas, especialmente na dimensão ontológica do pensamento estético e social desenvolvido por Marx e Engels que reconhece a arte como uma das formas de objetivação do ser social. Em consonância a essa perspectiva, são consideradas as argumentações formuladas por Lukács sobre a arte, o processo de constituição do homem em sua generidade e seu papel na emancipação humana. A pesquisa envolveu estudos teóricos relativos à revisão de literatura e à análise documental e estudos empíricos por meio de entrevistas e questionários dirigidos a candidatos, alunos, egressos, professores e diretores do CMP, gestores públicos da cultura e agentes culturais da cidade de Ponta Grossa, analisados a partir de uma abordagem qualitativa. Os resultados da pesquisa permitem afirmar que, não obstante todas as limitações de ordem material, política e humana que incidem no CMP como instituição pública de ensino musical, o processo educativo desenvolvido promove um redimensionamento das concepções, expectativas, objetivos e conhecimentos sobre música, arte e cultura dos alunos que o acessaram, o qual colabora tanto para a legitimação de um posicionamento social distinto quanto para o desenvolvimento dos sentidos humanos da parcela da população de Ponta Grossa que o acessa.

<p>The overall purpose of the thesis is to examine the shaping of the identity of the municipality. One empirical question raised in the dissertation is how the municipal museum has been established as a part of the municipal administration. This is done through an empirical study of the municipality of Eskilstuna in the period 1959-2000 and its official historical narration. I have analyzed four cases where historical narration was produced, mainly by the city museum. These cases are: a city Jubilee in 1959, the building of a city museum in 1979, a city exhibition in 2000 and the documentary work of the museums in relation to contemporary society (Samdok). The historical narration of the municipality over time has some perspectives in common; it is mainly a genetical narration where the municipality’s character is transformation and development. Even if some themes change over time, this has been one basic element. The place that is in focus is also constant, the industrial sections of Eskilstuna. This means that a rather large area is excluded in the narrative. However it is important to emphasize one thing here, that the rural areas are mainly represented by prehistoric times up to the Middle Ages. The manifestation of identity is therefore problematic. The city, however, is associated with symbols of transformation, modernity and development. But even if the main perspective in the narrative is that of transformation, there is a more antiquarian or traditional part as well. Here the museum building plays an important part; the museum has been built up in what can be called the historical industrial milieu. There is one more aspect of the identity of the municipality that must be emphasized here. In many ways, the municipality has used symbols and epochs from national history, for example the Middle Ages, national saints, industrialization etc. In this way the municipality is constructed as a part of something typically Swedish. Even if there were permanent features in the narration, change and new perspectives were also included, such as immigrants, women and pop culture.</p>

Il presente studio è finalizzato ad indagare le complesse vicende culturali di tre riviste - «Il Saggiatore», «Orpheus» e «Oggi» -, nate in Italia per iniziativa di alcuni giovani intellettuali nella prima metà degli anni Trenta, in un periodo in cui, a seguito del definitivo consolidamento politico-istituzionale del fascismo, ha inizio una vasta discussione per determinare con più precisione il ruolo delle nuove generazioni all'interno del regime. In questo «clima», l'azione di tali riviste mira soprattutto a definire il proprio «contributo» per la nascita di una «nuova cultura»: procedendo, così, ad un riassestamento della cultura che superi definitivamente l'impianto epistemologico del sistema idealista con le sue difettose derivazioni espressive, le varie testate giungono ad occuparsi di letteratura, indicando l'inevitabile «necessità», non solo etica e spirituale, ma anche estetica e artistica, di tornare al romanzo per poter riconquistare un'idea di arte che sappia di nuovo «aderire alla vita». / The objective of this thesis is to analyse the cultural development of three literary reviews «Il Saggiatore», «Orpheus» and «Oggi» created by a group of young intellectuals in the mid 30's. Following a period of political and institutional consolidation of Fascism, wide discussion was raised about the role of the new generation within the fascist regime. The aim, above all, of these reviews was to bring about a «new culture». There was a reorganization of the culture, which went beyond the epistemological plan of the idealistic system, which was thought to be lacking in effective language. As a consequence newspapers and reviews began to deal with literature, pointing out the inevitable need for a return to the novel as a more realistic art form from an ethical, spiritual, aesthetic and artistic point of view.

本研究按照歷史進程，將台灣的影評依照書寫背景轉變的重大事件劃分為三個時期，逐期分析並接續整體影評生態在社會與物質環境中演變的歷史過程。本研究分析的重點在於自新電影以來不同背景脈絡與書寫／認知邏輯的影評人如何在總體社會場域中進行文化政治與文化經濟的權力及資本角逐。而在社會環境與物質條件演進的背景中，大眾媒體、新興媒體以及其他相關機構的邏輯又是如何介入並影響影評人的定義、形成、書寫與活動。 從電影評論的歷史與本質之探討開始，本研究透過Bourdieu對藝文產業生產二元次場域的分析架構、對文化中介者角色與功能的描述以及藝文商品與消費發展之歷史脈絡的論述，對照影評相關的中外理論文獻，嘗試建立能夠有效研究影評現象的社會學與政治經濟學理論架構，並針對活躍於不同時期的多位影評人與相關業界人士進行深度訪談。 研究發現，新電影時期由於解嚴前政治氛圍以及有限的媒體篇幅，二元價值體系與書寫邏輯的影評人透過不同的平台與市場，累積符號資本並建立社會資本。在新電影運動興起時，不同的影評勢力以及片商／媒體的商業邏輯結構產生辯論與碰撞，確立了台灣電影市場的二元特質，在論述上佔有優勢的影評群體取得影評人定義的想像，卻也確立了影評人文化菁英，與大眾意見脫節的階級位置想像。而隨著電視、錄影帶的普及以及電影在國民娛樂消費中性質的轉化，物質環境的變遷逐漸稀釋了影評之於一般電影觀眾與發行商的重要性。在網路出現後，部落格與社群網站等應用更是不斷地更新電影資訊與評論的產製形式與接收方式，透過數位經濟的邏輯與數位文化的規則，對影評的定義以及影評人的形成及書寫表現產生明顯地影響。 / The research divided the history of film critique of Taiwan cinema since 1979 into three periods and illustrated the transforming process of each period, especially on the politic and economic conflicts of film critique, as a field of cultural production. Futhermore, the research also discussed on how the definition, cultivation and activities of film critique was affected by social and material changes. Through the aspects of Pierre Bourdieu’s study on the field of cultural production and historical progress of cultural commodities, the research tried to build a theoretic structure on the analysis of film critique, and explored the actual interaction between film critique writers and social structure by literature review and interviews. Since the press industries declined, and the social networks flourished on the internet, the credibility of traditional film critique had been challenged. At the time when everyone can share film critique online, the relation between mass media and film critique has changed from equally cooperation to governing by the media, and the background of film critique writers has also changed from professional film workers or scholars to famous bloggers who could generate many readers or click-rates online. Meanwhile, since their publication space transfered from newspaper to blog or community website on the internet, the film critique as a form of cultural production in digital age has separated from the press and film industries, and combined with digital economy of Web 2.0., even 3.0.

<p>Through a case study of Carteret County, North Carolina, this research explores historic and contemporary narratives about fishery resource-use issues (e.g., conflicts over ocean spaces and species, disputes over fisheries governance, competing claims about the value of fish and fishing) in order to contribute to nature-society research in the fields of political ecology, cultural and economic geography, and environmental history. This project has three main objectives: (1) To analyze how historic narratives about fish and fishing have changed over the past century; (2) To evaluate the resource-use narratives of contemporary commercial and recreational fishers; and (3) To examine the process of state fisheries policymaking.</p><p>This project employed discourse analysis to analyze historic newspaper articles, contemporary interviews with commercial and recreational fishers, and North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission meeting records. This research showed increasing frictions between commercial and recreational fishers over time, precipitated by state regulatory decisions and increasingly divergent interpretations by fishers of the proper roles for fish in environmental, economic, and social systems. Commercial and recreational fishers had distinct ways of thinking about fishery resources, shaped by their personal fishing histories as well as larger socioeconomic trends. In particular, though both types of fishers would agree that `fish are valuable public resources that should not be wasted,' their definitions of value, public, and waste were very different. Further, both recreational and commercial narratives are expressed within the policy process, and most policymaker decisions are compromises between commercial and recreational arguments. Political alliances frequently shift, but Division of Marine Fisheries staff (and their reports) often display substantial power to influence decision-making. Fish stock assessments often serve as objects around which moral arguments are made about how fisheries should be managed and allocated. </p><p>Overall, this research indicates that valuing nature also means valuing particular types of interactions between human and nonhuman nature (in this case fish). Further, different modes of interacting with fishery resources over decades have worked to separate recreational and commercial fishers socially and politically (leading to clashes where they overlap spatially). Where these cultural politics matter most is in struggles over the purpose of different types of fish and the meaning of central concepts in fisheries management, as the outcomes have implications for both the practical use of resources and the character and scale of governing institutions.</p> / Dissertation

There is a consistent thread throughout Russian history of governmental management of culture. Tsars and Communist bureaucrats alike have sought to variously promote, censor, or exploit writers, filmmakers, and musicians to control and define the country's cultural content. Often, these measures were intended not necessarily to cultivate Russia's aesthetic spirit, but to accomplish specific policy goals. The promotion of a State ideology and other efforts to stave of social unrest were chief among them. With the fall of Soviet power and the loss of an official ideology promoted by the state, the concept of cultural politics fell to the wayside. It has remained largely ignored ever since. Despite numerous high-profile incidents of persecution of the creative class, analysts have not linked them together as part of an overarching cultural policy. However, the Russian government under Vladimir Putin has faced consistent policy challenges since the beginning of the 2000s that could be mitigated through the implementation of such a policy. In some ways, the breadth and character of State involvement in the cultural sphere follows the pattern of the country’s autocratic past. In others, it demonstrates that it has adapted these policies to function in the hybrid regime that Putin has created, as opposed to the totalitarian ones that preceded it. A recent case that exemplifies this new breed of cultural policy is the persecution of the radical feminist punk band Pussy Riot. While largely unknown to many Russian citizens, the group’s overt opposition to the patriarchal model of rule established by Putin with the help of the Russian Orthodox Church was met by the most comprehensive crackdown within the cultural sphere since perestroika. Examining this case in detail can reveal the extent to which the Russian government is concerned about its ability to maintain popular legitimacy. The fact that it has continued to try to manage the cultural sphere may indicate the level of democracy that has or has not been established in Russia so far today. / text

The name of the study means “The short arm - a study in diversity and arm’s length in the cultural collaboration model”. Right now there is a reform in the Swedish cultural administration where the responsibility for handing out state funds and grants to cultural organizations is changing from the state government to the local regional governments. The purpose of this study is to map the organisational changes caused by the reform and investigate how this affects the regional policies concerning cultural diversity and the arm’s length principle. The study has found that the regional governments have mainly adapted existing structures to incorporate the necessary changes for the cultural collaboration model. The exception being the non government organizations that have made considerable changes to their organizations. While cultural diversity is still strong in the model arm’s length principle has been hollowed out. / Just nu pågår en stor reform inom kulturpolitiken där ansvaret för fördelningen av statens medel till kultur förflyttas från staten till regionerna och landstingen. Syftet med uppsatsen är att kartlägga den organisationsomvandling inom det kulturpolitiska fältet som sker på grund av reformen samt undersöka hur detta påverkar regionernas arbete med kulturell mångfald och armlängdsavstånd. Studien har funnit att inga större förändringar har skett i de regionala organisationerna, utan att de anpassat redan existerande organisationsstrukturer. Undantaget har varit intresseorganisationerna som gjort större förändringar i sina organisationer. Även om kulturell mångfald fortfarande är starkt i modellen har principen om armlängds avstånd blivit urholkad.

Göranzon, Ingrid: From concept to reality - Uppsala Municipal School of Music. Master thesis, 30 credits. Uppsala: Department of Musicology. 2013. This thesis aims to explain how and why the municipal school of music (kommunala musikskolan) in Uppsala was formed. Municipal schools of music are a Swedish phenomenon that was formed all over Sweden after the Second World War. Each school is individual since they are entirely controlled at a municipal level. Although several factors have been identified as reasons for the creation of municipal schools of music, research in the area is limited. The material forming the basis of the survey is municipal documents from Uppsala city archives. The method that has been chosen to analyze the material is critical ideology analysis. This means that the content of the documents is analyzed in relation to its context, to clarify both the manifest and latent ideologies. The study shows that the formation of a municipal school of music in Uppsala was part of a larger movement, both nationally and locally. Sweden went through great changes during the period after the Second World War, politically, socially and culturally. The development of municipal schools of music was influenced mainly by the ideas about education and culture. The guiding idea was that all citizens should have equal access and opportunity. Technological advances such as radio and gramophone had made high culture more accessible, but it also contributed to the spread of what was considered inferior culture. Studies of the time showed that the solution was to give people the knowledge needed to make the right choice. The municipal school of music in Uppsala was created with the aim of forming a culturally educated public.

This thesis presents a study on how school children in Kenya and Sweden express their views on children’s rights, in particular rights related to participation, non-discrimination, and education. The overall purpose was to explore the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, its claim to be universal and its relevance for children in various school and life contexts. Group interviews were conducted with 58 children, aged 12-15 years, from four schools, two schools from each country. The interviews were introduced with an exercise of nine articles from the UN Convention which the groups were asked to discuss and rank from the most to the least important. The aim of the exercise was to make the UN articles known to the children and to open up for a conversation about rights. The theoretical framing for the study is anchored in the tradition of sociology of childhood. Analyses of empirical data were based on the cultural politics of childhood, and the concepts vulnerability and separability. Accordingly, children are viewed as sharing the common experience of being children, but also as experiencing diverse everyday lives. They are regarded as social agents, whose voices carry perspectives important to be listened to. They are also looked upon as able to form and express their views and knowledge in relation to local economical, social and political conditions. The results showed that the children talked about themes and situations that were both common and diverse. They talked more about children’s needs than about children’s rights. Needs for ‘extended’ protection were particularly expressed, i.e. the importance of stable relationships with parents and other adults and peers. The study also showed that when issues on relationships with adults, participation and decision making were discussed, the children expressed experiences of being viewed as subordinated in a way that could be referred to as their inherent and structural vulnerability. A third important result showed that values and norms related to non-discrimination were largely produced and reproduced in peer-cultures. Finally, the children connected education to economical growth, for individuals as well as for societies. The overall conclusion from the study is that children view the UN Convention as a problem solver for children in exposed situations rather than as a document for their everyday life. From a child perspective, rights hold relational qualities, manifested in relationships with adults and peers. Furthermore, the study underlines that the young right holder is a ‘both-and’ child: both global and local, both being and becoming, and both dependent and independent.
