Arts management as a profession has a long history although as an academic discipline it started to emerge as late as in 1960s. In Finland, arts management education begin in the 1990s and this book provides insights into the contested and contradictory field of arts management in Finland and abroad through academic articles and more practically oriented cases. Hence, the publication is also a celebration of the arts management education in Finland, particularly at the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki where the Arts Management Masters Degree Programme has been taught already for 20 years. The programme has educated professionals to the wide field of arts management and the book aims to broaden the understanding of arts management as a discipline and as a practice. 158 pages.
This book focuses on the relationship between the university and a particular cohort of academic staff: those in visual and performing arts disciplines who joined the university sector in the 1990s. It explores how artistic researchers have been accommodated in the Australian university management framework and the impact that this has had on their careers, identities, approaches to their practice and the final works that they produce. The book provides the first analysis of this topic across the artistic disciplinary domain in Australia and updates the findings of Australia’s only comprehensive study of the position of research in the creative arts within the government funding policy setting reported in 1998 (The Strand Report).
Using lived examples and a forensic approach to the research policy challenges, it shows that while limited progress has been made in the acceptance of artistic research as legitimate research, significant structural, cultural and practical challenges continue to undermine relationships between universities and their artistic staff and affect the nature and quality of artistic work.
This groundbreaking Handbook brings together leading international experts in creativity and culture research to provide an overview of current debates.

This book develops important new insights into the conditions that enable effective collaborations between arts and humanities researchers and SMEs in the creative economy. Drawing on the work of Creativeworks London, an AHRC-funded Knowledge Exchange Hub for the Creative Economy, this is an in-depth study of how co-created and collaborative research projects work on the ground and will be of immense value to all these audiences. Chapters by researchers and practitioners examine a range of collaborative research projects supported by Creativeworks Londons vouchers, which cover a large number of creative industry sectors and academic disciplines. The book identifies key learning from these projects that has wider relevance for academics, funders, policy makers, and SMEs in the creative economy.

The International Handbook of Intercultural Arts Research provides concise and comprehensive reviews and overviews of the convergences and divergences of intercultural arts practice and theory, offering a consolidation of the breadth of scholarship, practices and the contemporary research methodologies, methods and multi-disciplinary analyses that are emerging within this new field.
For artists, scholars, researchers, educators and students of arts theory interested in culture and the arts, a proper understanding of the questions surrounding interculturality and the arts requires a full understanding of the creative, methodological and interconnected possibilities of theory, practice and research.
Humanitys future depends on the adoption of culture as the central organizing principle of society.
Decades of investigation, reflection and research have led cultural scholar Paul Schafer to this conclusion. Originally trained as an economist, Schafer came to realize that, despite all its benefits, the current economic age must soon give way to a new age of culture that places the highest priority on people and the natural environment, rather than materialism and the marketplace.
The Secrets of Culture describes Schafers personal and professional journey toward this crucial conclusion. Beginning with a lively account of his education in the arts as a child, Schafer discusses his academic training as an economist and how he came to realize that economics, however important and influential it might be, was in itself insufficient to serve as the sole framework for society.
Schafer argues that culture as a concept, as well as individual cultures, must now become the centrepiece of human development if the substantial gains of the current economic age are not to be lost in environmental and civilizational collapse. Only if the focus is on the development of the potential of all the worlds cultures and peoples does humanity stand a chance of moving beyond its present Time of Troubles to a more fulfilling future.
The past several decades have seen the concept of culture achieve ever greater prominence throughout the world, culminating in culture being named Merriam-Websters Word of the Year in 2014 because of its importance in both public and private discourse. The Secrets of Culture paints a compelling portrait of the new world that awaits us, while also providing revealing insights into Canadian and global cultural policy and development as Schafer recounts his many and varied experiences as a teacher, writer, policymaker, and futurist. The result is a book that is not only enlightening but also entertaining and intriguing.
"Paul Schafers lifelong campaign to establish culture in all its manifestations as the key to a 'more equitable, sustainable, and harmonious world' has made his voice one of the most recognizable in the growing international chorus demanding enlightened social change. This deeply personal book interweaves the threads of his principal argument into the story of how he came to believe, with a fierce and total conviction, that living the compassionate cultural life in the whole, the good, and the beautiful is essential to both the fulfillment of the human individual and the preservation and enhancement of the world in which we all live." --Max Wyman, author, The Defiant Imagination: Why Culture Matters
As one ages, it becomes plain that only a few books are truly 'life changing.' The Secrets of Culture is one of these books. The book shifts ones values, behaviour, and ways of seeing and understanding the world. It demands a veritable realization that everything in a lifetime of experience should be re-examined and re-assessed.
Paul Schafer has been a major force on the global and Canadian cultural scene for decades. His preparation in the arts in his childhood placed him in an ideal position to understand why culture is so essential to people and countries in all parts of the world and the world as a whole, as well as how it transformed his own life and soul.
We travel with Schafer as he leaves economics and march with him as he seeks an articulation of culture that will convince his readers ... that they have a responsibility to move beyond the notion that culture is entertainment and address the full potential of culture as it relates to the very survival of the human species. --Walter Pitman, former MP, MPP, and President of Ryerson University

With the launch of its new book, An Anatomy of Arts Management, the Institut für Kulturkonzepte - based in Hamburg and Vienna - establishes a new link between research and practice in the field of arts management. This has been brought about by interdisciplinary contributions on a host of different themes and areas of activity.
Contributions from across the world serve to underline the ever growing internationalisation of arts management, allowing the reader a global perspective. An Anatomy of Arts Management will be appearing for the first time in 2007 is planned as an annual publication. The book will be
available both in English and in German.
Volume 1 of An Anatomy of Arts Management is broken down into three sections. This first issue focuses mainly on entrepreneurship in the arts, an area of ever growing significance. The restructuring of the arts sector, coupled with shrinking public budgets, means that it is increasingly important for those in the arts to think and act in a more enterprising manner. Various contributors, including Birgit Mandel (Germany), Karin Wolf (Austria) / Edith Jacob (Austria) and Sven Oliver Bemmé (Germany).
The second chapter develops this theme, concentrating on the business communitys responsibility towards - and co-operation with - the arts scene. The chapter first looks at the role of corporate commitments to the arts and culture, examining ways in which companies can best exercise this responsibility. Practical examples are used to highlight this trend. The chapter then goes on to examine collaborative models in the arts world, with a detailed look at their structure. Various contributors, including Connie Pirtle (USA), Timo Cantell (Finland) und Sabine Lurtz (Germany). The third chapter takes a general look at new trends and directions being pursued in art and arts management across the globe. Various contributors, including Constance Devereaux (USA), Tanja Thimm (Germany) and Isgard Rhein (Germany).

The term 'culture industry' has been a key reference point in the critical
literature on culture and the media ever since the classic chapter in
Horkheimer and Adorno's Dialectic of Enlightenment, yet until now there has been little attempt to update the analysis for the present day. In this
innovative new book, Heinz Steinert applies the concept of culture industry to contemporary cultural forms and demonstrates its relevance for the twenty-first century.Unravelling Horkheimer and Adorno's complex prose, Steinert sets out to explain precisely what is meant by the term 'culture industry'. Writing in a clear and engaging style, he provides an accessible exposition of the key themes and concepts. This close textual analysis is combined with wide-ranging case studies showing how the concept of culture industry can be used to approach more recent cultural phenomena. Examining contemporary film, pop music and art, as well as dating agencies and the paparazzi, Steinert reveals the ways in which culture is commodified today.This is an original book that provides a fresh critical perspective on culture and the media. It will be essential reading for students of media and cultural studies, sociology and of the humanities in general

Over the last 20 years culture has become a key concept in intellectual disciplines across the social sciences and humanities. However, it is a notoriously difficult concept to pin down, having very different meanings in different contexts. This book seeks to chart a route through the maze. It engages with the subject of culture by examining it through the prism of experience. This approach reveals the variety of meanings of culture. It demonstrates that culture is not something that emerges from out of human activity, but rather is part and parcel of it.
This book looks at how culture emerges and manifests itself in human life, and how it is experienced in the life of individuals and collectivities. It also explores the ways in which globalizing processes and changes in technology are affecting cultural identity, and whether we are seeing a fundamental change in the ways in which culture is formed and experienced.
Penetrating, accessible and refreshing, this book outlines new ways of studying culture. It will be required reading for students of sociology, cultural studies and cultural anthropology.

The first of its kind, this is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for tracing the ownership history of works of art. Focused on cultural property looted by the Nazis and others during WWII, it is divided into three parts: Basic Provenance Research and Principles, Holocaust-Era Provenance Research, and Appendixes, which include bibliographies of collections, dealer archives, and red flag names compiled by the Office of Strategic Services. Includes an index and reproductions of artworks and relevant documents. Written by leading provenance researchers, this title is a must for any collecting institution.
"This book describes the emergence of a new social class. If you are a scientist or engineer, an architect or designer, a writer, artist or musician, or if you use your creativity as a key factor in your work in business, education, healthcare, law, or some other profession, you are a member. With 38 million members, more than 30 percent of the nation's workforce, the Creative Class has shaped and will continue to shape deep and profound shifts in the ways we work, in our values and desires, and in the very fabric of our everyday lives."--From the Preface
In a book that weaves storytelling with a massive body of research, Richard Florida traces the fundamental theme that runs through a host of seemingly unrelated changes in American society: the growing role of creativity in our economy.

Culture is essential to everything we do and is going to play a very significant role in the world of the future. In spite of this, most of us have only a hazy understanding of culture and do not realize how it will affect individual, institutional, community, national, and international affairs. This volume delves deeply into the domain of culture--both as a concept and as a reality--and proposes a formulation of the world system of the future according to culture's highest and most enduring principles. The author draws on many disciplines--anthropology, sociology, philosophy, cosmology, history, economics, and the arts--to make his case that culture and cultures should be accorded a central position in global development and human affairs in the future.

The Culture-Gates study began in January 2002 and was finalised in Spring 2003.
Research teams were assembled in Austria, Finland, Germany and Portugal to investigate the gate-keeping systems in their respective cultural labour markets and the impact that gate-keepers have on the career development of women and their aspiration to hold decision-making positions. The results of these research studies are examined in comparison.
