Balibar, Étienne
We, the people of Europe? : reflections on transnational citizenship.
- Princeton ; Oxford : Princeton University Press, 2004. - xi, 291 p. - ISBN
0-691-08990-6
(Translation/transnation)
This book deals with the European construction and unification process from
a political theory perspective. It comprises eleven papers and lectures
which Balibar delivered between 1991 and 2002 on questions of state theory,
national sovereignty, immigration, democracy and violence, and which result
in a critique of the concept of European citizenship adopted by the European
Union. Of special importance in the author's argumentation are borders
as non-democratic conditions of democratic institutions. The exclusion of
non-Europeans - he calls that "European Apartheid" - is particularly evident
in the constitution of European citizenship which is only attributed to
nationals of the EU member countries. He proposes instead a citizenship of
residence, detached from national definitions and disengaged from all myths
of European identity, which could give democratic legitimacy to the new
political entity at supranational level. The final chapter deals with a role
for Europe in the context of global power relations. The book does not offer
pragmatic solutions and easy replies, but it spells out a vision of a
genuinely democratic Europe.
Keywords: nationality - European Union - European integration -
boundaries - state - sovereignty - immigrants - cultural pluralism - social
participation - political participation - violence - national identity -

Hartley, John (ed.)
Creative industries. - Oxford etc. : Blackwell, 2005. - xvii,
414 p. - ISBN 1-4051-0148-2
This collection of essays brings together various perspectives on the
creative industries which, taken together, map the subject from an
interdisciplinary and intersectoral point of view. The introductory chapter
by Hartley provides an overview, traces the shift from creative arts to
creative industries, and offers a reader's guide to the contents of the
volume. The
contributions, many previously published elsewhere, are grouped into six
sections which approach different aspects of the creative industries. Each
section is introduced by an editor who presents and summarises the collected
papers. The first section is dedicated to creative production and
participation in public spaces. The articles in the "Creative identities"
section are concerned with the link between identity and creativity,
exploring how individual ideas, talent, experience, lifestyle and work
connect (or not) to creative industries, and how, in the knowledge economy,
cultural consumption is a part of cultural creation, an act of authorship.
Section III deals with creative practices of individuals and groups,
highlighting the impact of cultural, economic and technological changes, and
pointing out the role of creativity in education. Contributions in the
"Creative cities" section look at urban development, creative quarters,
cultural clusters and networking. Section V explores how creative
enterprises have been and might be viewed through a policy and industry
development perspective. The final section "Creative economy" deals with the
rise of the cultural capitalism through the culturalisation of economic
life, the precarious working conditions in the creative sector, and the
requirements for cultural policy making in the global information economy.
Keywords: compilation - cultural industry - creativity - cultural
creation - cultural participation - cultural users - broadcasting - cinema -
Internet - publishing industry - cultural identity - life styles - cultural
behaviour - cultural education - fashion industry - urban areas - urban
renewal - local level - enterprises - entrepreneurs - policy making -
cultural personnel - working conditions
- technological change - cultural change - economic integration

Hurstel, Jean
Réenchanter la ville, voyage dans dix villes culturelles européennes.
- Paris : L'Harmattan, 2006. - 184 p. - ISBN 2-296-00326-5
This book is an account of local cultural action across European towns and
neighbourhoods. The author, president of the network Banlieues d'Europe,
narrates his experience with urban cultural action in European cities,
illustrating an alternative, more convivial, more solidary, and, above all,
more imaginative approach to participative cultural life in cities today. He
presents activities and events like the Zinneke parade in Brussels which
promote at the same time artistic creativity and community participation.
The stories - rather anecdotes - are juxtaposed like snapshots, leading
from Vienna to Belfast, over Belgrade, Brussels, Glasgow, Frankfurt to Lyon
and Turin, to Setubal and Porto. In many cases, the voices of the local
actors are reported as well. The book demonstrates that a more human vision
of urban life is possible despite the presence of borders of all kinds.
Keywords: cultural action - urban areas - community participation -
cultural participation - social integration - cultural events - urban
renewal - popular culture - Austria - Belgium - United Kingdom - France -
Germany - Serbia - Italy - Portugal

Madden, Christopher
"Indicators for arts and cultural policy : a global perspectives".
In: Cultural trends 55 = Vol. 14(3) September 2005, p. 217-247
Based on a longer research report by IFACCA of 2005, this article deals with
statistical indicators for monitoring and evaluating arts and cultural
policies. The author identifies current activities related to the
development of quantitative cultural indicators worldwide, reviews the
literature (mainly of English language), raises a number of analytical and
theoretical issues with a view to future development work, and summarises
some main "good practice" recommendations for using and developing cultural
indicators. The author argues that improving cultural indicators is not
simply about improving statistical methods, it is also about understanding
better the nature of arts and cultural activities, and the complex
interrelationships between statistics and policy practice.
Keywords: cultural indicators - policy making - monitoring -
evaluation - cultural objectives - cultural research - cultural statistics -
practical aspect - methodology - international cooperation
