CULTURE AFTER CIVIL WARS AND DESTRUCTION OF VALUES: CAMBODIA – RESEARCH DIARY
/in Studies /by Kcs21blAAThis text is a compilation of entries from a research diary created during field research in Cambodia (summer 2012). The objective of the project was to strengthen the system of governance for culture in Cambodia, complying with international trends specifically regarding the UNESCO Convention on the Promotion and Protection of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions. The mission has tried to accomplish its goals using many research methods from observations to interviews, but also applying “action research methodology” by raising many questions, provoking expressions of needs and interest of local authorities as well as civil society and the professional sector in culture. The aim was to develop participative actions to enhance further development of ideas and concepts related to cultural development. This text is not an analysis, it is a research diary which documented interviews, visits, observation and other methods of collecting data, with first impressions about cultural situations and cultural potentials of Cambodia. As the expert task was to assist Cambodian Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts to prepare the grounds for development of cultural sector, paying special attention to development of performing arts (which in Cambodia include mostly traditional performing art forms) and crafts, this diary, although shortened, gives insight into crucial moments of the research mostly linked to policy discussions. The specific objectives which could be read “between the lines” were attempts of two researchers (Vesna Čopič and Milena Dragićević Šešić) to help the Ministry redefine the position and role of culture in society; to provide cultural policy recommendations for empowerment of cultural policy effectiveness; to identify institutional and human resources in order to enhance its creative potentials; to suggest reform of arts education and educational system in the country through inter-ministerial cooperation; and to provide recommendations for strengthening the sector – raising professionalism and entrepreneurialism through capacity building programs.

THEATRALIZATION OF HISTORY OR THE WAY IN THE FUTURE – ZORICA JEVREMOVIĆ’S DRAMATIC WORK
/in Studies /by Kcs21blAAУ раду се говори о драмском стваралаштву Зорице Јевремовић, за које ауторка сматра да се уклапа у тренд који би могао да се назове политиком сећања. Та је политика супротстављена некој врсти политике заборава која је, у суштини, део званичне културне политике. Дело Зорице Јевремовић је експонент културне политике која долази „одоздо“, супротставља се етноидентитетној културној политици државе и заговара потребу интеркултурног дијалога. Књиге Зорице Јевремовић, “Четири предратне драме” и “Балада о девојачком оделу”, ауторка овог рада сагледава као неопходне за нову реконцептуализацију српске, уметничке, позоришне, институционалне сцене, али и и за реконцептуализацију самопредстављања.

CULTURAL PARTICIPATION AND CONSUMPTION
/in Comparative Situation Analyses /by Kcs21blAA“A vibrant, diverse and inspiring cultural life to which citizens of all local communities and subcultures have access and can connect with, makes up a substantial part of the social fabric that determines functioning and attractive living localities-the quality of life that a place offers“. The topic of this paper is the insight in the field of cultural participation and consumption; more concretely it focuses on the levels of participation and consumption development in four countries: Serbia, Croatia, Sweden and the Netherlands. The first two countries have achieved rather similar stages throughout history, and consequently, many areas of cultural policy are structured in the same way and these countries share rather low level of development due to a long-standing and severe economic and political turbulences they have been facing. As a result, participation and consumption of culture have been put aside, as peoples of both countries were concentrated on bare survival. Today, conditions are slightly changed, but there are still many obstacles that these countries must try to overcome. Intersectorial connections, integration of culture and arts in regular education, programmes aimed at developing the audiences are only some of the tasks that these countries should carry out in times to come. On the other hand, Sweden and the Netherlands are known for high standards of life, welfare and prosperity, and thus their cultural practices have been supreme. In terms of the area of cultural policy in focus of this paper, Sweden and the Netherlands are at the top of European countries, and thus their methods are used as examples for the previously mentioned countries to look up to. The only identified issue is relatively low interest of young population in traditional forms. Still, the possibility of interconnecting multimedia with traditional culture might be solution to this problem.
