It begins with a reflection on the meaning of value, before identifying, through the analysis of a corpus of scientific articles, books and research reports as well as press articles, the numerous values identifiable in the history of cultural policies. From this collection, we propose a principle of classification into five major families of values: democracy, identity, well-being, aesthetics and economy. Finally, we describe the dynamics of emergence and transformation of the values attributed to culture in historical configurations, through three examples: the valuation of heritage, the conflicts over the values of democracy, and the values underpinning the concept of sustainable development. Our exploratory research shows that values already present in the twentieth century are becoming increasingly important in cultural policies, without taking precedence over values with which they can compete or, on the contrary, find a form of compatibility.KEYWORDS: ValuesEuropecultural policiesdemocracycultural heritagesustainable development Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 This research focuses on the “explicit” values, as “promoted”, “attributed” to culture by cultural policies, in contexts of “democratic” regimes studied by the literature we have considered, thus necessarily “positive” in their formulations; we do not take this “positivity” for granted, but discuss it, on the one hand in itself, and on the other hand in interaction between a plurality of values (tensions).2 “Democracy” was chosen, rather than “politics”, as politics is an extremely broad “domain”, whereas “democracy” can be considered as a value containing particular normative orientations.3 “Economy” is understood here as the sphere of values related to power, competition and profit.","PeriodicalId":51682,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135939267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dasgupta, Clelia Clini","doi":"10.1080/09548963.2023.2247368","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09548963.2023.2247368","url":null,"abstract":"This special issue of Cultural Trends is dedicated to the Indian cultural and creative industries. By covering specific aspects of the cultural and creative sectors in India– from film festivals to music and performing arts, from cinema to tourism, including a policy review on innovation in the creative industries – the articles included in this special issue offer a comprehensive overview of the relationship between the cultural and creative industries and the wider economic, social, cultural and political processes taking place within India and its diaspora. Following the definition provided by the UNESCO, we understand the cultural and creative industries as those “sectors of organized activity that have as their main objective the production or reproduction, the promotion, distribution, or commercialization of goods, services and activities of content derived from cultural, artistic or heritage origins” (Raufast et al., 2015, p. 11). This is a definition particularly useful in the context of India, as it acknowledges the cultural value of the creative industries while emphasising their economic aspect, especially considering that the very commercialisation of cultural products in India is often entangled in a complex web of formal and informal practices which are creative in themselves. As the articles in this special issue show, this is true for example in the case of the transnational circulation of music, the performing arts as well as the organisation and promotion of tourist packages or tourism trails abroad. Cultural and creative industries represent important drivers of economic development, cultural activism (Dasgupta & Mahn, 2023) and their potential for economic growth was recently reiterated in a report published by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, which observes that they “provide 6.2 per cent of all employment, generating nearly 50 million jobs worldwide” (UNCTAD, 2022, p. 1). Research in the field also tends to highlight the creative sector’s potential for the promotion of “cultural diversity, social inclusion and environmental sustainability” (UNCTAD 2022 , p. xix; see also Shaban et al., 2022, pp. 4–6), urban regeneration (Florida, 2002), and social and cultural development more generally. In the context of South Asia, Malik and Dudrah (2016, p. 133) observe that cultural and creative industries are valued especially for their potential to “stimulate cultural and social development; and provide an economic tool for growth and development based on the potential to create employment, generate income, earn export revenues and alleviate poverty”. India also has a large informal economy which has grown around handicraft and textile production.
