| The German Kulturstiftung des
Bundes provides in their magazine information about supported projects
and contributes to ongoing debates on the role of culture. This issue
focuses on the political dimension of culture. In the introductory
article on the changing relation between culture and society, Nolte
describes how the antagonism between autonomy of the arts and its
instrumentalisation has ceased to exist.
Also worth attention is the article by Siemons, speculating on a
European cultural policy after the EU enlargement. He sees in particular
the risk that culture will be used for political purposes.
