Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In any policy arena, the crafting of effective policy depends on the quality of the information infrastructure that is available to the participants in that arena. Such an information infrastructure is designed, developed, and managed as a critical element in policy formulation and implementation. While various attempts have been made to map the extent of the existing cultural policy information infrastructure in the United States, no structured attempt has been made to conduct a cross-national analysis intended to draw on the more highly developed models already in operation elsewhere.A cross-national comparative look provides valuable information on how this infrastructure has evolved, on what has succeeded and what has had less success, on what is sustainable and what is not, and on how the range of interests of the various individuals and institutions involved in the cultural policy arena can best be accommodated through careful design of the information infrastructure.In Informing Cultural Policy, international cultural policy scholar and researcher J. Mark Schuster relates the findings of a study that took him from North America to Europe to gain understanding of the cultural policy information infrastructure in place abroad. His findings are structured into a taxonomy that organizes the array of research and information models operating throughout the world into a logical framework for understanding how the myriad cultural agencies collect, analyze, and disseminate cultural policy data. Schuster discusses private- and public-sector models, including research divisions of government cultural funding agencies, national statistics agencies, independent nonprofit research institutes, government-designated university-based research centers, private consulting firms, cultural "observatories," non-institutional networks, research programs, and publications. For each case study undertaken, the author provides the Internet address, names, and information for key contacts, and background documents consulted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manthia Diawara provides an insider's account of the history and current status of African cinema. African Cinema: Politics and Culture is the first extended study in English of Sub-Saharan cinema. Employing an interdisciplinary approach which draws on history, political science, economics, and cultural studies, Diawara discusses such issues as film production and distribution, and film aesthetics from the colonial period to the present. The book traces the growth of African cinema through the efforts of pioneer filmmakers such as Paulin Soumanou Vieyra, Oumarou Ganda, Jean-René Débrix, Jean Rouch, and Ousmane Sembène, the Pan-African Filmmakers' Organization (FEPACI), and the Ougadougou Pan-African Film Festival (FESPACO). Diwara focuses on the production and distribution histories of key films such as Ousmane Sembène's Black Girl and Mandabi (1968) and Souleymane Cissé's Fine (1982). He also examines the role of missionary films in Africa, Débrix's ideas concerning 'magic, ' the links between Yoruba theater and Nigerian cinema, and the parallels between Hindu mythologicals in India and the Yoruba-theater - inflected films in Nigeria. Diawara also looks at film and nationalism, film and popular culture, and the importance of FESPACO. African Cinema: Politics and Culture makes a major contribution to the expanding discussion of Eurocentrism, the canon, and multi-culturalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Production of Culture is timely and relevant. . . . Diana Crane introduces the reader to this busy field of scholarly activity, organizes the strands of theory and empirical research in an orderly fashion, and advances some bold notions about the relationship between organizational ′contexts′ and innovation. --Contemporary Sociology "Crane melds numerous sources concisely and clearly in her argument that cultural forms cannot be understood ′apart from the contexts in which they are produced and consumed.′ . . . looks like a good start to a useful series." --Communication Booknotes "Crane′s overview is clearly written and does an effective job of incorporating concepts and theories from communication, cultural studies, economics, and literature, as well as her home territory, sociology." --Communication Booknotes How does the media shape and frame culture? How does media entertainment vary under different conditions of production and consumption? What types of meanings and ideologies do these modes of production convey, and how do they change over time? How does media culture differ from other forms of recorded culture produced in nonindustrial settings? In The Production of Culture, the inaugural volume in the new Foundations of Popular Culture series, Diana Crane argues that these are the kinds of questions social scientists should concern themselves with. She contends that recorded cultures simply cannot be understood apart from the contexts in which they are produced and consumed. A review and synthesis of the current media literature, Crane′s work examines both the popular and elite levels of media production. This investigation allows readers to understand how the notion of production can change depending on the size of the audience and/or the structure of the cultural industry. A systematic and accessible approach to a complex topic, The Production of Culture will have appeal not only to professors and students of cultural studies, but will also interest those studying sociology and art history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La question de la reconnaissance et du financement des organismes communautaires fait l'objet d'âpres débats au Québec et ailleurs depuis plus de 30 ans. Dans le contexte de transformation des Etats-providence, qui a cours depuis les années 1980, ces débats se sont intensifiés et ont pris une dimension politique fondamentale. Vecteurs de privatisation et de démantèlement des services publics pour les uns, acteurs importants du tiers secteur - aux côtés des secteurs public et privé - participant au renouvellement des pratiques et des politiques sociales pour les autres, leur évolution s'inscrit au cœur même des grands enjeux sociétaux qui traversent nos sociétés. Pourtant, la lecture qui a été faite jusqu'à présent de cette évolution tend à occulter l'ampleur et la nature même des interactions dynamiques qui ont, depuis leurs débuts, marqué les rapports des organismes communautaires avec l'Etat québécois, notamment avec le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux. A cet égard, rien peut-être ne rend mieux compte de cette interaction dynamique de coconstruction des politiques publiques que la mise en place du Programme de soutien aux organismes communautaires (PSOC). Programme à vocation résiduelle s'adressant à moins d'une centaine d'organismes au moment de sa création en 1973, il constitue aujourd'hui le plus important programme de financement du gouvernement québécois consacré aux milieux communautaires, versant plus de 300 millions de dollars à environ 3000 organismes. S'appuyant sur un impressionnant corpus de données statistiques et documentaires ainsi que sur une quarantaine d'entrevues effectuées auprès d'acteurs des milieux gouvernementaux et communautaires, ce livre a pour ambition d'analyser l'essor des organismes communautaires - et du PSOC - à travers toutes les phases de développement de l'Etat-providence : de son émergence au début des années 1970 jusqu'à son déclin (du moins, dans sa forme traditionnelle) et sa redéfinition au cours des années 1990 et 2000. Ce faisant, l'auteur restitue à l'histoire des milieux communautaires toute sa richesse et sa densité, tout en démontrant que leur reconnaissance s'est construite à l'intersection d'intérêts parfois contradictoires, mais toujours dans le cadre d'une interaction décisive avec l'Etat que ni l'un ni l'autre des protagonistes n'a jamais réussi à maîtriser totalement.
