Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article highlights cultural policy as a governmental proxy to address political matters beyond the cultural domain – here civil health – and the need to problematize and historicize ‘arts in health’ policies. The article centres on the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare’s collaborations with cultural workers 1970–1975, framed by three contextual developments: politicization of the cultural sector, call for innovative governmental information, and changing character of health information. Theoretically, the article draws from the field of cultural policy research, with an emphasis on historiographical perspectives. The result shows that despite interdependence, the collaborations were an arena where interests clashed. The main conflict lay in what art should seek to change for the better: society or its citizens? However, the conflicts were also due to a mixture of roles: the agency suddenly found itself a patron of the arts, and the cultural workers producers of governmental information.

“For the support of artistically superior films” : The State Film Prize Committee and the formative years of a quality-directed Swedish film policy 1960–1963

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 1960 The State Film Prize Committee was founded in Sweden with the intention to support artistically superiorfilms. Research on Swedish quality-directed film policies usually has as its point of departure the Swedish Film Insti-tute, established in 1963, thus locating the birth of Swedish film policy and the establishment of a film “field” in theBourdieusian sense. This article is based on the argument that the years of the Committee epitomized a push and pullbetween competing positions in a bourgeoning field, as discussions were catalysed by its evaluative system. Thearticle underscores that the historiography of Swedish quality-directed film policy, as well as aspects regarding theformation of a field, needs revision, particularly in relation to which theoretical definitions of film and culture policyare used. The Committee is discussed in relation to three contexts: a generational change in film culture; an indeter-minacy regarding the relationship between nationally sanctioned art film and other art forms; the Social Democraticformation of an interventionist cultural policy. Methods and material used include tracing debates on film culture,document analysis in the archive of the Committee, and examining recurring themes in supported films. The articlescrutinizes notions of transmedial and minor (film) art as it was favoured by the Committee, in contrast to a newgeneration of cinematic modernists who sought to purify the medium (aesthetically and institutionally). Further-more, issues of autonomy are examined regarding how the Committee functioned as an arm’s length body. It is esta-blished that the Committee acted as a veritable film producer and furthermore sidestepped governmental statutes.The article also establishes that the Committee represents a decisive, albeit transitional, period in the history of Swe-dish film policy, when film and cultural policy aligned for a short time, before film policy, as a result of the corporatistSFI reform, was instead detached from cultural policy.

The Nordic Mobilization of Public Opinion on Foreign Aid in the UN’s Second Development Decade

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter contributes to the understudied research areas of Nordic foreign aid media history and Nordic co-operations concerning the mobilization of public opinion on foreign aid. The study asks: What exchanges of ideas regarding information strategies took place between the Nordic aid agencies during the launch of the Second Development Decade (1970s)? Utilizing governmental archive documents the study demonstrates that Nordic co-operations shifted from embracing “Nordicness” in field projects to using Nordic connections as a backstage think-tank for mutual, but domestic, goals of public persuasion, focusing on film as an information device. It is revealed that cooperative efforts were hampered by the agencies’ lack of experience in audio-visual co-production, by different discursive understandings of “development” and by the difficulty to transnationally co-operate around nationally grounded information regimes.
