This authoritative study considers contemporary policies for the
arts in France and the cultural and political issues they have
raised. The author concentrates particularly on the seminal
Mitterrand years but also disentangles the various influences which
marked them. Analyzing the role of the ever more powerful Ministry
of Culture, he traces the gradual shift from the democratization of
high culture, adopted as a quasi-religious crusade during the De
Gaulle era, to the aesthetic relativism and 'fun' culture which
became the trademark of the department during the 1980s and 1990s.
He also examines wider debates about the relationship between
culture, society and the state.
