Given the increasingly high profile of the creative economy as a
driver of development, this book addresses the following question:
what contributions can the arts make to processes of international
development and how can those processes best be supported by
development agencies?
Visual artists, craftspeople, musicians and performers have been
supported by the development community for 20 years, yet there has
been little grounded and critical research into the practices and
politics of that support. This volume draws together perspectives
from artists, policy-makers and researchers working in the Pacific,
Africa, Latin America and Europe to explore the challenges and
opportunities of supporting the arts in the development context.
The book situates this enquiry within the broader context of
culture and development and offers a series of grounded analyses
covering: strategies for the sustainability of arts enterprises,
innovative evaluation methods, theoretical engagements with
questions of art, agency and social change, artists' entanglements
with legal and structural frameworks, processes of cultural
mapping, and diverse perspectives on the artist/donor
interface.
This book gives scholars of development studies, social and
cultural geography, anthropology, cultural policy, cultural studies
and global studies a contextually and thematically diverse range of
insights into this emerging research field.
