Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines how women contribute to cultural diplomacy by engaging in activities that relate to their country of origin. The article focuses on one non-state network called the Swedish Women’s Educational Organization (SWEA). SWEA aims to foster interest in Swedish culture by organizing public cultural events and financially supporting causes that aim to increase engagement with Swedish culture. The transnational practices that these women engage in enables them to display Swedish culture to American society. This study examines how these women assume meaningful roles as unofficial ambassadors of Sweden, and how their daily and unpaid activities to promote their homeland culture is recognized by official Swedish representatives in the United States. Study findings show that the work these women perform became entangled with official diplomatic institutions. On a structural level, the women’s agency enables them to carve out meaningful spaces for themselves within the field of cultural diplomacy. At the same time, some of their assumed roles reinforce notions about feminine spheres of action within international relations.

Policy-making as an emotionally-charged arena : the emotional geographies of urban cultural policy-making

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Analysis of the role emotions play in a range of social processes has increased significantly, but is neglected in the context of cultural policy-making. Recent literatures in feminist and emotional geographies draw attention to how emotions are emergent in, and play a role in shaping, a broad range of social contexts and processes, while other literatures stress the need to 'personalise' the expert and consider the emotional aspects of planning. Inspired by these literatures we deploy the notion of 'affective urbanism' to study how emotions are interwoven with cultural policy spaces in the city and explore the 'emotional regimes' that incorporate emotions with the multi-scalar politics that is shaping urban cultural policy-making. This is undertaken through an analysis of emotions in the working lives and political contexts of cultural policy-makers in Stockholm (Sweden), Gdansk (Poland) and Manchester (UK). Overall the paper seeks to develop a research agenda that places emotions centrally in studies of cultural policy formation and implementation.

Implementing gender equality policies in the Spanish film industry : persistent prejudices and a feminist will to 'exploit the centre into concentric circles'
- 2022

Ingår i: The International Journal of Cultural Policy. - : Routledge. - 1028-6632 .- 1477-2833. ; 28:4, s. 446-460

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Over the last decade, gender equality measures like positive actions in public funding have been implemented in the Spanish film industry. This article discusses these measures by looking at both the gender order that has been embedded in the Spanish film governance regime since its origins and the ways in which such gender order re-emerges in the current context as expressed by women film workers. Two persistent prejudices that can be traced back to Franco's dictatorship are identified: Public funding as connected to censorship and/or lack of profitability, and the representation of women as incapable members of a so-called 'minority' that has to be assisted. Concrete measures including quotas are necessary for adjusting the unbalance in women's participation, but they are means towards an end that goes beyond quantitative changes, for the ultimate goal would entail transforming the structure of a patriarchal film governance regime from a bottom-up feminist approach.

Cultural policy as a governmental proxy tool for improved health : The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare’s collaborations with cultural workers 1970–1975
- 2021
-
Ingår i: The International Journal of Cultural Policy. - : Taylor & Francis Group. - 1028-6632 .- 1477-2833. ; 27:5, s. 667-682

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.

Protecting the classics in Swedish copyright law : intellectual property as a cultural policy tool
- 2024
-
Ingår i: The International Journal of Cultural Policy. - 1028-6632 .- 1477-2833. ; , s. 1-14
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses §51 of the Swedish copyright law, known as “the protection of classics”, as a cultural policy intervention. §51 protects culturally significant works by deceased authors against reproductions that are considered offensive, even if the works are in the public domain and thus not protected by copyright. The article provides a brief overview of the origin of §51 and analyses potential cases of violation between 1960 and 2020, where the Swedish authorities threatened to sue for infringement against §51 but refrained for various reasons. It also considers a recent case, the Swedish Academy (Svenska Akademien) v. Nordfront, where §51 was, for the first time, tried in court. The cases involving §51 are diverse and the motivations for suing (or not) are different. However, taken together, these examples reflect changing cultural norms and values in Sweden during the twentieth century. This article will show how the value system that has shaped the protection of classics, and its subsequent use is aligned with a Swedish cultural policy discourse where priorities have shifted from protecting fine art against popular culture, to countering the negative consequences of commercialism, and to promoting multiculturalism and inclusion.

The public library as a political symbol : a post-political reading of the demise of the consensus-model in Swedish cultural policy
- 2023

Ingår i: The International Journal of Cultural Policy. - : Taylor & Francis Group. - 1028-6632 .- 1477-2833. ; , s. 1-15

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Recent use of public libraries as political symbols by the radical right in their challenge of the established consensus in Swedish cultural policy is part of an ongoing (re)politicization of the field of cultural policy. This paper frames this development as part of a post-political condition of Swedish cultural and library policy. Through an analysis of previous research, policy, and policy debates, a conceptual understanding of the post-political condition is offered. The paper also provides an analysis with empirical examples of how this condition unfolds in librarians’ accounts of everyday public library practices. This composite analysis furthers our understanding of the enactment of Swedish cultural and library policy and contributes to a broader discussion of the current challenges facing these policy fields following the rise of the radical right in several countries. The findings point to a need for more nuanced and ideological discussions concerning the relationship between politics and culture and where public libraries are situated between autonomy and democracy.

Pandemic cultural policy. A comparative perspective on Covid-19 measures and their effect on cultural policies in Europe
- 2024

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To what extent did the Covid-19 pandemic affect the tools, priorities and organisation of cultural policies? And did the pandemic enhance the digital aspect of these policies? This paper compares pandemic cultural policy measures in seven European countries to answer these questions. The countries all installed a plurality of mitigating measures, combining grants and subsidies, compensation of lost income, income support and financial flexibility, creating a tendency towards cultural policy turning into economic policy, fiscal policy, and labour market policy. Cultural policies have not been fundamentally challenged by the pandemic, in the sense that it has affected the essential political tools, divisions of labour, or core goals. The responses have confirmed an existing policy structure or enhanced existing developments. The importance of a state-centred or a federalist cultural policy system has not been challenged in a substantial way. Secondly there is little evidence to show a general acceleration of national digital cultural policies.

Media policy attitudes and political attitudes : the politization of media policy and the support for the 'media welfare state'
- 2023
-
Ingår i: The International Journal of Cultural Policy. - : Routledge. - 1028-6632 .- 1477-2833. ; 29:4, s. 431-448
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous research has neglected media audiences’ and citizens’ opinions on how the media should be organized, how they should function in society and what individual, corporate and state responsibilities should be in regard to these questions. In an attempt to understand the relationship between citizens’ broader political attitudes and their attitudes on media-related politics and responsibilities, this study uses a survey (n = 2003) of the adult Swedish population to investigate the distribution of a range of media political attitudes in the contemporary space of political positions. The results reveal overlaps between the space of media political attitudes and the broader political space, where support for a Nordic ‘media welfare state’ corresponds to leftist and GAL-oriented values, while TAN-oriented and right-wing attitudes link to scepticism towards state interventionism in the media landscape. A small but highly opinionated right-wing and TAN-oriented segment displays laissez-faire views on media policy that are reflected in current policy propositions from right-wing political parties in parliament.
