Download or read book Building a European Public Sphere Un Espace Public Europ en en Construction written by Robert Frank and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book edited by four known specialists of European history presents for the first time a discussion among European historians on the European public sphere since the 1950s. It treats the general perspective and deals also in special articles with the role played by the European Union, by the Council of Europe, and by national media such as television and film. The volume shows that the role of the European public sphere is often underestimated and that it is gradually becoming more influential and forceful not only in politics, but also in culture. Sous la direction de quatre spécialistes renommés de l'histoire européenne, cet ouvrage présente de façon inédite un débat entre historiens de l'Europe sur l'espace public européen et son évolution depuis les années 1950. La question est abordée dans son ensemble, mais certaines contributions traitent aussi plus spécifiquement du rôle joué par l'Union européenne, par le Conseil de l'Europe, et par les médias nationaux, comme la télévision et le cinéma. Ce volume montre que l'on a souvent sous-estimé l'espace public européen, alors que son influence est de plus en plus importante, tant au niveau politique que culturel.
Download or read book The European Union and Culture written by Annabelle Littoz-Monnet and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union and culture explains why and how the European Union has started to intervene in the cultural policy sector - understood here as the public policies aimed at supporting and regulating the arts and cultural industries. It is the first comprehensive and theoretically informed account of the Communitarisation process of the cultural policy sector. Before 1992, no legal basis for EU intervention in the field of culture appeared in the Treaties. Member states were, in any case, reluctant to share their competences in a policy sector considered to be an area of national sovereignty. In such circumstances, how was the Communitarisation of the policy sector ever possible? Who were the policy actors that played a role in this process? What were their motives? And why were certain actors more influential than others? This book will be of great use to all researchers and students of European integration and European public policy.

Download or read book Weighting Differences written by Vasile Boari and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-27 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irrespective of the level of analysis, identity remains a vague concept, slippery, and insufficiently elaborated and defined. Be it individual or collective, ethnical or social, local or general, regional (e.g. the EU) or global, identity is a recurrent subject in political debates. Situated on the edge of history, anthropology, sociology, political science, and psychology it increasingly becomes a leading paradigm in the area of social sciences. Starting from the broader European perspective, this volume has a multidisciplinary approach and gathers relevant works of internationally renowned scholars who tackle questions related to the Romanian identity: Who are the Romanians? What is the essence of their identity and how has it evolved along history? What are their primary qualities and flaws? How do Romanians perceive their Europeanness and how do they assume their European condition? With no claim to unique answers, the book provides a multi-layered view of what Romanian identity means in contemporary period and how it develops in the broader European context. By challenging the common sense understanding of identity, we raise even more questions to be anasered by further research.
Download or read book Identit s culturelles et citoyennet europ enne written by Mark Dubrulle and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre propose une série de réflexions concernant une dimension de la construction européenne longtemps délaissée. En effet, diverses initiatives citoyennes tentent de placer la culture - dans son sens d'identité culturelle - au centre du processus d'intégration. De nouveaux débats se développent à partir des régions comprises non pas comme entités administratives mais comme espaces de participation civique. Pour révéler cette réalité, le Forum Europe des Cultures a organisé, en 2005 et 2006, six conférences régionales autour du thème « Identités culturelles et citoyenneté européenne ». Une sélection des exposés est présentée dans ce volume. Les populations locales, en effet, voient dans la perspective européenne une nouvelle chance de renforcer leur identité, parfois de manière plus révélatrice que dans le cadre de leur appartenance nationale. Cette prise de conscience souligne une fois de plus que l'affirmation de sa propre identité locale représente un outil fondamental pour préparer l'avenir. L'Europe a beaucoup à gagner en favorisant de tels mouvements. C'est ainsi que le lien fonctionnel entre « identités locales » et la perspective plus large d'une « citoyenneté européenne » s'affirme. L'évolution des identités des citoyens prend en réalité des formes multiples, car elle dépend de nombreux problèmes particuliers et de situations souvent inconnues. Ce n'est donc qu'en y faisant face aux niveaux local et régional qu'il devient possible de la maîtriser. La démocratie a besoin d'une telle démarche. Ce livre se propose comme une contribution nouvelle à cette question. La diversité des auteurs, des problèmes abordés et des approches particulières en fait toute l'originalité et la richesse.
Download or read book Hague Congress of Europe 1948 2008 written by Jean-Michel Guieu and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la nécessité de construire une Europe unie s'impose progressivement au sein du débat public et la tenue d'un « Congrès de l'Europe » à La Haye du 7 au 10 mai 1948, rassemblement sans égal de quelque 800 personnalités représentatives des forces vives de l'Europe d'alors, en est l'illustration la plus éclatante. Bien que souvent cité, cet événement n'avait encore donné lieu à aucune étude systématique et approfondie. Cet ouvrage entend donc combler une lacune en livrant au lecteur le fruit de travaux menés autour du Congrès de La Haye par une trentaine d'historiens et de politistes issus de toute l'Europe. Grâce à la mobilisation des nombreuses archives disponibles, cet ouvrage replace le congrès dans le contexte des divers efforts alors menés en faveur de l'unité européenne. Il étudie également la plupart des délégations nationales présentes à La Haye et les différents milieux (économiques, parlementaires et intellectuels) qu'elles représentaient. Il tente enfin de mesurer les effets immédiats et à long terme du Congrès de La Haye : contribua-t-il à créer une dynamique favorable à l'unité européenne ou ne marqua-t-il pas paradoxalement les limites d'une certaine méthode de construction européenne ? Cet ouvrage contient des contributions en français et en anglais.

Download or read book Accounting for Culture written by Caroline Andrew and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2005-03-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in the cultural sector argue that Canadian cultural policy is at a crossroads: that the environment for cultural policy-making has evolved substantially and that traditional rationales for state intervention no longer apply. The concept of cultural citizenship is a relative newcomer to the cultural policy landscape, and offers a potentially compelling alternative rationale for government intervention in the cultural sector. Likewise, the articulation and use of cultural indicators and of governance concepts are also new arrivals, emerging as potentially powerful tools for policy and program development. Accounting for Culture is a unique collection of essays from leading Canadian and international scholars that critically examines cultural citizenship, cultural indicators, and governance in the context of evolving cultural practices and cultural policy-making. It will be of great interest to scholars of cultural policy, communications, cultural studies, and public administration alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report analyses all aspects of cultural diversity, which has emerged as a key concern of the international community in recent decades, and maps out new approaches to monitoring and shaping the changes that are taking place. It highlights, in particular, the interrelated challenges of cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue and the way in which strong homogenizing forces are matched by persistent diversifying trends. The report proposes a series of ten policy-oriented recommendations, to the attention of States, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, international and regional bodies, national institutions and the private sector on how to invest in cultural diversity. Emphasizing the importance of cultural diversity in different areas (languages, education, communication and new media development, and creativity and the marketplace) based on data and examples collected from around the world, the report is also intended for the general public. It proposes a coherent vision of cultural diversity and clarifies how, far from being a threat, it can become beneficial to the action of the international community.
