Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article argues that the concept of democracy, i.e. a political system that reflects the will of the people either directly or through representatives, is never or very seldom emphasised as an essential value in cultural policy debates or in cultural policy research. Instead the concept of autonomy is often put forward as the principal value when cultural policies are debated. Autonomy is central to many democratic theories and in cultural matters it is often described as the arm’s length principle. In this article, I will lean on institutional theories to discuss and explain why democracy in the classical sense never has been put forward as an important value and why autonomy usually is. I will also undertake a critical examination of the autonomy concept, as it has been defined in cultural policy.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines the prevalence of parenthood among professionally practising artists in Sweden. The overall aim of the article is to employ feministic and sociological perspectives to provide a theoretically-based understanding of the problems of balancing work and family life in the arts. Data are presented that reveals that female artists are more frequently childless compared to their male counterparts and women in the overall population. Male artists, however, are less frequently childless than men in general. The article develops a theoretical explanation focused on the effect of economic resource structures, which leave women artists to cope with lower incomes with which to pursue careers in the arts, and symbolic structures, which present creative work as difficult to combine with everyday domestic work. Given that motherhood continues to be associated with more comprehensive caring responsibilities than fatherhood, women are more frequently confronted with a choice between starting a family and pursuing their artistic calling.

Cultural Policy by Proxy : Internet-based cultural consumption as a copygray zone

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article pursues the assumption that cultural policy has been disallowed regulation of cultural rights on the Internet. Instead, early initiatives on IntellectualProperty Rights have prescribed cultural policy viewpoints. Restrictions of cultural rights can be connected to gray areas of ethics and markets. The first aim of the article is to articulate concepts useful for discussing gray phenomenon given restrictions of cultural rights on the Internet. The second aim is to critically analyze the historical development of ‘copygray’ areas. These can also be positioned within the context of an evolving surveillance society. The rights of the state and of corporations to large-scale quantities of personal information have been generously enlarged through lack of restrictions relating to social media. Thus, while cultural rights become restricted, citizens are simultaneously deprived of rights to control personal information. Both of these developments can be situated within legal and ethical gray areas.

Danish and Swedish immigrants’ cultural policies between 1960 and 2006 : toleration and the celebration of difference

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the late 1960s, as non-Nordic immigrants became an important component of their immigration flows, despite their similar policy backgrounds Sweden opted for multiculturalism, while Denmark did not. Their policies diverged even further from the so-called migration crisis of the 1990s. This article compares and analyses Sweden and Denmark’s respective policies between 1960 and 2006, arguing that their policies effectively diverged in the late 1960s; Danish assimilation is constituted of the toleration or acceptance, albeit disapproving, of immigrants’ cultures. Swedish multiculturalism, by way of contrast, celebrates difference, holding that immigrants’ cultures are necessary for their well-being and that ethnocultural diversity enriches the national culture. However, both policies deemed some aspects of immigrants’ cultures unacceptable, in that they were looked upon as illiberal or repugnant. This study also contends that, alongside citizenship and national identity studies, Ministries of Culture’s policies are a relevant field of enquiry into states’ policies on immigrants’ cultures.

Post-Soviet transformation of Lithuanian state cultural policy: the meanings of democratisation
- 2012

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents a general overview of the process of the democratisation of cultural policy in Lithuania by exploring explicit arguments about democratisation in debates and policy documents in Lithuania (1988–2011). At the early stage of transformation (1988–1992), democratisation was envisaged as the administrative decentralisation of political institutions, particularly the Ministry of Culture, and as the introduction of democratic principles, such as freedom of speech and cultural self-regulation. More substantial meanings of democratisation were articulated in debates about ethnic diversity and social equality. The study reveals tensions between the values of high culture and pop culture and the unitary notion of Lithuanian national ethnic culture and the cultures of national minorities. At a later stage, the salience of the ethnic dimension decreased when the democratisation of cultural policy was conceptualised in relation to the knowledge economy, which required revision of the early post-Soviet confrontation between culture and its economic use.
