About this book

This book provides new insights into the relationship of the field of arts and cultural management and cultural rights on a global scale.

Globalisation and internationalisation have facilitated new forms for exchange between individuals, professions, groups, localities and nations in arts and cultural management. Such exchanges take place through the devising, programming, exhibition, staging, marketing, and administration of project activities. They also take place through teaching and learning within higher education and cultural institutions, which are now internationalised practices themselves. 

With a focus on the fine, visual and performing arts, the book positions arts and cultural management educators and practitioners as active agents whose decisions, actions and interactions represent how we, as a society, approach, relate to, and understand ourselves and others. This consideration of education and practice as socialisation processes with global, political and social implications will be an invaluable resource to academics, practitioners and students engaging in arts and cultural management, cultural policy, cultural sociology, global and postcolonial studies.


Reviews

“The book contains helpful and necessary definitions of basic terms by each author, which can have different notions when used in certain contexts and regions. This idea alone makes the book worth reading because it makes the reader aware of his or her own subjectivity. … Thus, the anthology is a have-to-read for arts and cultural managers, researchers and educators with a mainly national working context, as well as for those who hope to gain new insights on their international work.” (artsmanagement.net, August 17, 2020)
