Cultural policy / Toby Miller and George Yudice London: Sage Publications, 2002.
Call No: 408 MILAuthor: Miller, Toby ; Yudice, George Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: Sage PublicationsPubDate: 2002PhysDes: 246 p. ; 25 cmSubject: CULTURE AND THE CINEMA ; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. USA Summary: Aesthetically, culture operates globally as a signifier of differences and similarities in taste and status within social groups. Anthropologically, culture refers to how we live our lives, often between social groups or populations. Bridging these aesthetic and anthropological registers is cultural policy. Institutions enable and support creativity and collective ways of life by soliciting, training, distributing, financing, and rejecting actors and activities. By way of theory, history, and politics, Miller and Yudice seek to atriculate knowledge with progressive social change, with social movements as primary loci of power, authorization, and responsiblity. The result is an innovative, globally-encompassing work in the emerging field of cultural policy. It will be essential reading for students of cultural studies and cultural sociology. - BOOK JACKETNotes: Includes bibliography (p.
