Histories of Cultural Participation, Values and Governance by Eleonora Belfiore

Histories of Cultural Participation, Values and Governance by Eleonora Belfiore

This edited collection develops the first integrated, critical-historical examination of the terms, narratives and assumptions constructing present day notions of participation and value, and the relations between them. The book proposes a radical re-evaluation of this relationship organized in three inter-related sections on Political discourses of participation and value; Culture and governance; and Community, participation and cultural policy.

Eleonora Belfiore is Professor of Communication and Media Studies at Loughborough University, UK. Her research explores the cultural politics of state intervention in culture and discursive formation around ‘making the case’ for arts funding, the social impact of the arts and questions of cultural value. She is series editor of the book series New Directions in Cultural Policy Research and, as of 2020, co-editor of the journal Cultural Trends.

Lisanne Gibson is Professor of Culture and Society at the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester, UK. Her research advances understanding of the societal effects of historic and contemporary cultural investment especially in relation to urban development; cultural policy and value; and cultural heritage. She co-edits with Andrew Miles the book series Palgrave Studies in Cultural Participation, and from 2020 will be co-editor of the journal Cultural Trends.
