Through comparative and integrated case studies, this book
demonstrates how aesthetics becomes politics in cultural policy.
Contributors from Norway, Sweden and the UK analyse exactly what
happens when art is considered relevant for societal development, at
both a practical and theoretical level. Cultural policy is seen here
as a mechanism for translating values, that through organized and
practical aesthetical judgement lend different forms of agency to the
arts. What happens when aesthetical value is reinterpreted as
political value? What kinds of negotiations take place at a cultural
policy ground level when values are translated and reinterpreted? By
addressing these questions, the editors present an original collection
that effectively centralises and investigates the role of aesthetics
in cultural policy research.
