issue 2/2020: Culture as Instrument. Deadline 31st October 2019. Please

CULTURE AS INSTRUMENT
Professor Andrey Makarychev (University of Tartu) and Professor Miikka
Pyykkönen (University of
Jyväskylä) will compile a special issue for the Nordic Journal of
Cultural Policy, issue 2/2020. The theme of
the issue is Culture as Instrument.

Instrumentalisation is always a current topic in cultural policy and
has been one of the major topics in
cultural policy research since its beginning. What makes it
particularly topical now in Nordic and Baltic
countries are the creative economy boom, welfare through culture
discourse and rising nationalism, for
instance. Culture is used as a concept and means in economic and social
policies. It is an instrument used in
the welfare services for elderly people, in supporting ”healthy”
hobbies of the children, and in the
integration of immigrants, for instance.
This special issue will open perspectives to different kinds of
instrumentalisms in the field of cultural policy
and at different times. The objective is that the achieved compilation
of articles will produce a deeper
knowledge and insight about the theme by comparing and contrasting the
ways of using culture between
countries, eras, regions, organisations, systems, ethnic groups,
agents, etc.
One important aspect of the theme issue will be the increase of
conceptual and theoretical understanding
of culture and cultural policy regarding instrumentalisation; what are
the different conceptualizations of
culture – especially when instrumentalised in different contexts of
social policy – and to which kinds of
theorizations they connect to. Articles, which shed light on
methodological issues in the study of
instrumentalisation are most welcome.

All the best,
Linnéa
