Finally, and again relatedly, the volume exhibits the ever-so-familiar tendency or attempt to valorise and thus implicitly legitimise one’s own research topic. This comes across particularly forcefully in Vuletic’s introduction (ch. 1), but elsewhere as well. ‘Eurovision entries are multimodal social-semiotic acts of communication that incorporate aural, visual, technological, linguistic, textual and performative facets’, laud Alison Lewis and John Hajek in their largely descriptive account of an online course with superfluous irrelevant technical details (70). I daresay, so is every occasion I put a vinyl on a turntable with friends present. Yes, it is curious how the ESC has evaded the attention of scholars of popular music, media and culture alike. The why is, to me at least, somewhat obvious, especially when it comes to music scholars: until the twenty-first century, the field was obsessed with rockist notions of authenticity, thus rendering the really popular music unworthy of attention. In 1992, Finland was represented in the ESC by Pave (Maijanen), a key figure in the history of Finnish rock music since the early 1980s, yet finishing last, though not with nul but quatre points. The title of the song includes most of its lyrics, qualitatively at least. The performance is available online (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= n-PhSnk-omM) so those wishing to do so may check if their reaction is as multifaceted as mine, combining feelings and sensations of nostalgia, joy, embarrassment, naïvety, and the urge to get up and dance.

Overall, the chapters repeatedly point out the problems of creative freelancing – low earning, the lack of access to social safety, portfolio career, prevailing uncertainty, the individualised risk, short-term contract and so on – which were exacerbated. At the same time, some chapters note how artists and cultural workers adapted to the crisis by reflecting on their existing work pattern and organisation, embracing the digital technology and online media, building resilience and taking a contemplative mode. Yet, another key observation is the deepening of the structural inequality which is manifested by the disproportionate impacts of the pandemic on freelancers and the workers with less privileged backgrounds. Part 3 examines ‘institutional strategies’. Broadly speaking, the chapters in this part are about cultural organisations, cultural industries in general and film agencies, and their responses to Covid. Countries and regions covered include Italy, Spain, the Nordic region, Czech Republic and the European region. One common theme cutting across the chapters is the (potential) structural changes triggered by the pandemic in the cultural industries in general and the museum, film and orchestra sectors in particular. The changes include the shift to the digital, more focus on local provision, more engagement with the community, new relationship with audience across online and offline, new business model and the rise of streaming services. From this, we need to ask some important questions regarding the future of cultural policy: what kind of policies or state interventions would facilitate those changes; how the existing organisations and venues can adapt; and under what conditions the changes will create new opportunities for cultural workers or make their work even more precarious. Over the past 2 years, a number of writings examining the cultural sector during the pandemic have been published in journals such as IJCP or Cultural Trends. This edited volume adds diverse case studies to the current literature. Its biggest merits are the focused overview of the cultural industries during the Covid crisis, the coverage of several European countries and the country-specific details. Yet, comparative approach could be more consciously and explicitly attempted. This book helped me find some answers to my questions on what happened, who were affected and what policymakers did during the viral emergency whilst my other questions remain unanswered. Many of us are currently engaged in the collective endeavours to produce new knowledge of cultural policy in the Covid and post-Covid contexts. A significant part of these endeavours is to analyse if and how the experience of the pandemic informs and reshapes the mission, reasoning, scope, structure, institutional arrangement and instruments of cultural policy for tomorrow. This book’s empirical data and findings feed well into such efforts.","PeriodicalId":51520,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cultural Policy","volume":"61 1","pages":"663 - 665"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83965311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas the first relates to a system's ability to recover or resume its original form after stress, perturbation, or shock, the latter refers to extraordinary conditions produced by unexpected and dramatic events that are able to enact profound and deep changes. The case of the Uffizi museum, which has suffered many lockdowns, shows that resilience measures have been accompanied by innovative actions redesigning the role of the museum. Some new projects could in fact be enacted because the pandemic was treated as a critical juncture. Any innovation, however, originated from the need to manage and decentralise tourism flows and revitalise local communities. The Uffizi has forged and implemented projects that value sustainability, community welfare, city decongestion, economic development, and inclusiveness, producing transformations on nature and vocation of the museum itself as well as on the neighbouring areas, becoming a propulsive fulcrum for other museums and cultural institutions.

The paper examines China’s heritage cooperation with Central Asian countries through the lenses of social constructivism, investigating the conditions whereby the discursive construction of heritage has elicited cooperation. Linking the constructivist canon to Tim Winter’s work, the research considers heritage as diplomacy, suggesting that cooperation is fostered when heritage is framed as a link to a shared past among states and heritage positively engages with the core national interests of recipient countries. The research examines China’s discursive construction of the ‘Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor’ joint nomination to the UNESCO World Heritage list with Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in media texts. The paper identifies a Sinocentric historicisation of heritage that, on the one hand, shies away from historical memories of conflict and competition and, on the other, connects joint heritage work with the notion of national sovereignty, playing on Central Asia’s interests.","PeriodicalId":51520,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cultural Policy","volume":"27 1","pages":"94 - 112"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81405284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
