A STRATEGIC DILEMMA OF CULTURAL POLICIES

26. July 2018./in Comparative Situation Analyses /by Kcs21blAA

The subject of this paper is a strategic dilemma of cultural policy concerning the issue of direct control or isolation from the political process (a dilemma regarding the implementation of cultural policies); whether cultural management must be fully integrated into the established system of budget financing from the state budget or if it is needed to reduce state control of the means of cultural production and distribution. The aim of this study is to arrive at possible measures and recommendations that need to be implemented in order to reduce political influence and excessive government intervention in cultural and artistic fields. The state is the most important factor in defining cultural policy and government intervention (except when it comes to the liberal model of cultural policy, which means a state policy of non-interference in cultural development) is of crucial importance to establish a continuous cultural development in a particular community. Complete state control leads to the risk of political interference as a result of different interests that do not correspond to the strategic objectives of cultural policy, while neutral stances and a lack of control can lead to the commercialization of culture.

Analyses of objectives, priorities and instruments of the state model of cultural policy in France, the para-state model of cultural policy in the Netherlands and the transition model of cultural policy in Croatia and Serbia, as well as the analysis of activities undertaken in the field of practical politics, leads to conclusions which reflect advantages and disadvantages of direct state control and intervention in the field of cultural policy, as well as the ways the detachment from the political process by using various instruments of cultural policy and the transfer of competencies to the para-state bodies can contribute to cultural development of the community and democratization of culture.

RED PERISTILE: BETWEEN SOCIAL PROVOCATION, ARTISTIC ACT, URBAN MYTH, AND SPLIT’S JEALOUSY

26. July 2018./in Themes /by Kcs21blAA

This article analyses the action of painting Split’s Peristile in red color, which happened in January 1968. The Peristile is in the central square of the well known Roman Diocletian’s Palace, around which the modern town of Split has formed. In the first part of the article, authors theoretically discuss the influence of culture, nation and ideology on social and spiritual reality. As far as culture is concerned, two components are emphasized. The first one consists of norms, values, customs, beliefs and behaviors, and the second one refers to the individual in interaction with traditional elements of culture. When speaking about nation, authors stress the influence of politics, because any theoretical definition of the nation legitimizes one sort of political demand, and de-legitimizes others. The notion of ideology and its historical development in the West is more extensively discussed, with emphasis on Mannheim’s differentiation of particular and total notion of ideology. Having in mind the town in general, authors discuss it as a place of co-existence of architecture, habits and people. Cultural-civilizational characteristics of modern cities as well as the state of mind in Split in 1968 are elaborated. After a theoretical introduction, and on the basis of a great number of resources, the process of Peristile painting is presented in detail. The manner in which this artistic performance was carried out is extensively described. This part of the article is supplemented with biographies of artists who directly or indirectly participated in the mentioned performance. Among other things, it turned out that protagonists still cannot agree as to who constituted a group called “The Red Peristile Group”. There are also disagreements about the motifs for painting the Peristile red. Some of them considered it was a pure artistic act and others – an ideological and political action. References are made to the sharply opposed reactions of artist, politicians, and intellectuals towards the shocking act. Some of them have qualified it as an act of vandalism, a joke of political officials, youth folly, and even an occult act under the influence of drugs. Conclusion can be drawn that the action “The Red Peristile” was an important artistic performance which has disturbed a lethargical state of mind in Split of that time.
