The theme of<br>the issue is Culture as Instrument.</div><div><br>Instrumentalisation is always a current topic in cultural policy and has been one of the major topics in<br>cultural policy research since its beginning. What makes it particularly topical now in Nordic and Baltic<br>countries are the creative economy boom, welfare through culture discourse and rising nationalism, for<br>instance. Culture is used as a concept and means in economic and social policies. It is an instrument used in<br>the welfare services for elderly people, in supporting ”healthy” hobbies of the children, and in the<br>integration of immigrants, for instance.<br>This special issue will open perspectives to different kinds of instrumentalisms in the field of cultural policy<br>and at different times. The objective is that the achieved compilation of articles will produce a deeper<br>knowledge and insight about the theme by comparing and contrasting the ways of using culture between<br>countries, eras, regions, organisations, systems, ethnic groups, agents, etc.<br>One important aspect of the theme issue will be the increase of conceptual and theoretical understanding<br>of culture and cultural policy regarding instrumentalisation; what are the different conceptualizations of<br>culture – especially when instrumentalised in different contexts of social policy – and to which kinds of<br>theorizations they connect to. Articles, which shed light on methodological issues in the study of<br>instrumentalisation are most welcome.</div><div><br></div><div>All the best,</div><div>Linnéa<br></div><span id="GWSignatureSent" style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; display: block;"><span style="display: block;"><br><span style="font-size: 10pt; display: inline-block; -ms-word-wrap: normal;"><meta name="GENERATOR" content="MSHTML 9.00.8112.16526"><div><div><font face="Verdana" size="1">____________________________________________</font></div><div><font face="Verdana" size="1">Linnéa Lindsköld</font></div><div><font face="Verdana" size="1">Fil.dr / PhD<br><br>Centrum för kulturpolitisk forskning<br></font></div><div><div><font size="1"><font face="Verdana"><span class="hbWcmPortlet"><span class="wcm_text"><span class="text">Institutionen Biblioteks- och informationsvetenskap/Bibliotekshögskolan (BHS) </span></span></span></font></font></div><div><font size="1"><font face="Verdana"><span class="hbWcmPortlet"><span class="wcm_text"><span class="text">// <span class="hbWcmPortlet">The Swedish School of Library and Information Science (SSLIS)</span></span></span></span><br>Högskolan i Borås // University of Borås</font></font></div></div><div><font face="Verdana" size="1">SE-501 90 Borås</font></div><div><font face="Verdana" size="1"></font> </div><div><font face="Verdana" size="1">Tel: +4633-435 40 56</font></div><div><font face="Verdana" size="1">Mobil: +46709- 51 48 57</font></div><div><font face="Verdana" size="1">www.linnealindskold.com<br></font></div></div></span></span></span><span style="margin-bottom: 5px; display: block;"><br></span></div></div></div></body></html>
