Conflicts about culture. Entrepreneurship, translation and power struggles.
Abstract [sv]
Swedish cultural policy has traditionally emphasized culture as a means to promote values of education and refinement, equality, and democracy. While economic considerations have also been important, these concerns have mostly been treated as subordinate. Today, this is no longer the case. Ideas about profit and loss, and accounting, permeate all organizations in the field, and lately the political discussions have come to centre on cultural policy as an instrument for economic growth and innovation within the creative industry. In order to comprehend various aspects of these changes, we will study three different dimensions of the Swedish cultural field: a) how the ideational changes have entered and been handled within cultural policy; b) how the ideas of profit and management give rise to new activities, arenas, organizations, and professions; and c) what happens when the new ideas meet the practice of cultural organizations (museums, theatres, art galleries etc.). The project aims to contribute to theories of institutional change. The study´s theoretical contribution lies in its explaining, firstly, how new ideas in a field are reshaped in practice (translation); secondly, what possibilities for the molding of new ideas are created by the individuals and organizations concerned (institutional entrepreneurship); and, thirdly, how conflicts between established and new, challenging ideas are handled (power struggles).
