The lack of definition of cultural mediation makes it an ambiguous concept. This uncertainty about its boundaries or its meaning, makes its key promoters, the municipal cultural workers, essential to its existence. Drawing on interviews with cultural workers and artists, this article looks at the role that cultural workers play to make the notion circulate, to instigate new projects and to affect others. In other words, despite their relative invisibility, these administrative workers participate in cultural mediation projects on an unsuspected scale and challenge the “arm’s length” principle generally used in Québec’s cultural domain.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":"51 1","pages":"251 - 264"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10632921.2021.1925194","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42430084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After proposing to consistently distinguish among returns, restitutions, and repatriations as distinct phenomena, the article details three reasons that contradict this fear of setting a precedent: as each case is historically situated, one agreement is not easily transposable to other cases; the current practice of returns does not suggest that massive transfers are looming; and, most importantly, there is no will or plan, among experts and political authorities in claiming countries, to ask for massive returns. In turn, the fear of setting a precedent does open questions about the future museums: are universal museums at risk of disappearing? The museum as an institution is hardly at risk, as objects returned to another country will continue to live in the world of museums. Western universal museums should see return claims as an opportunity to rethink their mission and relations with other museums worldwide rather than a threat.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":"51 1","pages":"379 - 392"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10632921.2021.1941467","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47232808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we present how these perceptions changed over the 13-year period of 2005–2018. The follow up reveals that MFA theater management programs have increased in perceived value, while MBA programs have decreased in perceived value. Though perceptions around the MFA in theater management and MBA programs did shift, decision makers still perceive “three years of experience” as more valuable preparation than any academic program.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":"51 1","pages":"351 - 364"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10632921.2021.1925192","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48705273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the mass mobilization project gradually materialized, the government desired to promote nationalism amongst the postwar generation, superseding the original intention to recoup the production cost. This change induced governmental intervention toward the artistic expression of cinema. It was observed that the method of mobilization of students and the governmental interruption were far from postwar democracy.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":"51 1","pages":"365 - 378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10632921.2021.1925610","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43587222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores whether levels of education, income and occupation affect the likelihood of attending artistic events in Panama, one of the most unequal countries in Latin America. Using a binary logistic model, it models this likelihood testing two hypotheses. First, it is assumed that these drivers work as “sticks” that affect separately arts attendance. Then these variables are binned as a composite variable or bundle of sticks that proxies for group membership. Given the incipient state of cultural data and analysis in the field in Panama, the article seeks primarily to contribute to the theoretical conversation on art policies in small countries with high levels of inequality and the effects on economic disparity of efforts to increase attendance to artistic events.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":"51 1","pages":"273 - 290"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10632921.2021.1900007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44595064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
