La gestion du patrimoine culturel
Xavier Greffe
Après avoir montré la place du patrimoine dans les économies contemporaines et les conventions qui en délimitent les contours, les services que le patrimoine rend aux ménages comme aux entreprises, aux territoires comme aux sociétés sont décrits et sa valeur économique en est déduite. L'efficacité et l'efficience de la gestion du patrimoine, le marketing du patrimoine et la détermination des prix pour l'acquisition des services patrimoniaux sont abordés. Les marchés ne permettent pas de déboucher sur une allocation optimale des investissements et un niveau convenable d'activités, notamment en milieu urbain, une intervention publique est alors possible.
Le tourisme culturel de type urbain : aménagement et strategies de mise en valeur
Marc Chesnel
Des villes connues pour leur intérêt architectural et pour les manifestations qu'elle hébergent sont devenues des pôles touristiques. Certaines parmi elles et d'autres moins célèbres proposent à leurs visiteurs une offre innovante. Toutes s'organisent pour capter les clientèles, développer l'offre et fixer le séjour des touristes. Ces formes d'organisation et ces sortes d'innovation sont présentées ici, à partir d'exemples.
Le(s) public(s) de la culture
Olivier Donnat / Paul Totila
Cet ouvrage réunit l'ensemble des communications présentées au colloque que le ministère de la Culture et de la Communication a organisé, en collaboration avec la Fondation nationale des sciences politiques (OFCE) et en partenariat avec le Musée du Louvre, en novembre 2002. Il est composé d'un volume imprimé et d'un cédérom inclus dans l'ouvrage. Le livre est organisé autour de trois thèmes : une présentation des principaux effets des mutations intervenues dans le domaine de l'école, de la famille, du travail ou de la sociabilité sur les rapports à la culture ; une confrontation entre le public de la culture imaginé par les artistes et les responsables politiques (celui du théâtre populaire, celui du festival d'Avignon...) et les publics réels tels que les révèlent les enquêtes de fréquentation ; enfin, une réflexion critique autour de la légitimité culturelle et de la pertinence actuelle des analyses de P. Bourdieu dans le domaine de la sociologie de la culture. Les textes contenus dans le cédérom parcourent l'ensemble des secteurs de la vie culturelle (bibliothèques, musées, cinéma, spectacle vivant, illustrant la diversité de la " question des publics " dans le domaine de l'art et de la culture. L'ensemble ainsi constitué marque sans conteste une étape sur le chemin qui a vu, dans les années 1960, la réalisation des premières enquêtes sur la fréquentation des équipements culturels et sur les pratiques culturelles, et fournit un cadre particulièrement riche pour repenser la question de la démocratisation. A ce titre, il devrait constituer un ouvrage de référence pour les milieux de la recherche et les étudiants des nombreuses formations culturelles mais aussi pour les professionnels de la culture (bibliothécaires, responsables d'établissements culturels, directeurs d'action culturelle dans les collectivités territoriales...)
Le tourisme culturel
Claude Origet du Cluzeau
Les années 90 sont marquées par une fréquentation accrue des musées et des sites. Le patrimoine est aussi le détonateur d'initiatives économiques spectaculaires dans des villes et des régions souvent oubliées. L'alliance tourisme-culture insère le patrimoine dans une dynamique économique et sociale européenne.

The Economics of Art and Culture
James Heilbrun, Charles Gray
Publisher: Cambridge University Press; 2 edition (April 23, 2001). 426 pages
The second edition of this survey of the economics of - and public policy towards - the fine arts and performing arts covers arts at federal, state, and local levels in the United States as well as the international arts sector. The work will interest academic readers in the field and scholars of the sociology of the arts, as well as general readers seeking a systematic analysis of the arts. Theoretical concepts are developed from scratch so that readers with no background in economics can follow the argument. The authors look at the arts' historical growth and then examine consumption and production of the live performing arts and the fine arts, the functioning of arts markets, the financial problems of performing arts companies and museums, and the key role of public policy. A final chapter speculates about the future of art and culture in the United States.
Arts & Economics: Analysis & Cultural Policy
Bruno S. Frey
Using the economic point of view for an analysis of phenomena related to artistic activities, Arts & Economics not only challenges widely held popular views, but also offers an alternative perspective to sociological or art historic approaches. The wide range of subjects presented are of current interest and, above all, relevant for cultural policy. The issues discussed include: institutions from festivals to "superstar" museums, different means of supporting the arts, including the question whether artistic creativity is undermined by public intervention, an investigation into art as an investment, the various approaches applied when valuing our cultural properties, or why, in a comparative perspective, direct voter participation in cultural policy is not antagonistic to artistic values.
Frey is author of more than a dozen books (all available in English and German, and including a number of translations into French, Spanish, Portuguese, Galician, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese) and more than 250 articles in professional academic journals (most of them in economics and a few in political science, sociology and psychology) including the American Economic Review, Review of Economics and Statistics, Economic Journal, Journal of Public Economics, Journal of Law and Economics, Journal of Monetary Economics, Southern Economic Journal, Oxford Economic Journal, Journal of Development Economics, Kyklos, Review of Economic Studies, Scandinavian Journal of Economics, Public Choice, Review of Income and Wealth, European Journal of Political Research, International Organization, Public Interest, Rationality and Society, Journal of Economic Psychology, Journal of Economic History, etc.
Cultural Economics and Cultural Policies
Alan Peacock, Ilde Rizzo
Cultural Economics and Cultural Policies offers a unique guide to the state of the art in cultural economics. First, it alerts scholars and students to the necessity for careful definition and measurement of the `cultural sector'. Second, it affords examples of how economic analysis can shed light on the motivation of creative and performing artists and of artistic enterprises. Third, CulturalEconomics and Cultural Policies widens the discussion of public policy towards the arts beyond general economic appraisal of arguments for government financial support. It does so by considering the government's role in defining property rights in artistic products and in regulating as well as financing the arts; examining how the criteria for government support are actually applied. Cultural Economics and Cultural Policies will be of interest to economists, students and policy makers.
Arts Administration
John Pick
The nature of arts administration and management has changed dramatically over the last decade with policy, funding and restructuring all playing major parts. Following on from the successful first edition, Arts Administration has now been updated to include arts policy under the new UK Ministry of Heritage, the workings of the national lottery and the role of ethnic minority, fringe and community arts. Ten new case studies include a variety of problems commonly encountered in arts administration, such as balancing budgets, marketing, fund raising and programming. Arts administration is presented here in an historical, social and practical context. An essential read for students, those engaged in administering the arts and for anyone concerned with the arts in contemporary society.
John Pick was the founding professor of Europe's first Department of Arts Policy and Management, at City University, London, having previously worked extensively in education and the arts. He has subsequently held a number of visiting professorships in European and US Universities, and was twice appointed Gresham Professor of Rhetoric in the City of London. He is currently Emeritus Professor of Arts Policy and Management at City University, and Visiting Professor in Arts Management at London's South Bank University. He has published extensively, and is the author of Arts Administration, one of the standard textbooks in the field. His other books include The West End; Mismanagement and Snobbery, Managing the Arts; the British Experience, The State and the Arts, The Theatre Industry, Vile Jelly: the Birth, Life and Lingering Death of the Arts Council of Great Britain and Building Jerusalem: Art Industry and the British Millennium. His next book, Managing Britannia will be published early in 2001. He has, in addition written numerous papers, pamphlets and articles and has been a regular contributor to journals and arts magazines for over thirty years. Professor Pick enjoys a widespread reputation for challenging analysis of arts affairs. He has contributed to conferences, taught and worked as an arts consultant in many different countries including the USA, the former USSR, Hong Kong, Zimbabwe, Australia, Canada, Finland, Sweden, Greece, Italy and the Netherlands. John Pick's major recreation is still public performance and he is demand as an after-dinner speaker, music hall chairman, actor and producer. His other interests are writing, occasional broadcasting, art and leisurely gardening.

Entrepreneurial Arts Leader: Cultural Policy, Change and Reinvention
Ruth Rentschler
In a time of static funding levels, where marketing strategies are lauded as the saviour for the arts, leadership is often overlooked as a legitimate means of supporting the arts. To enable leadership to support the arts, it is essential to understand the temper of cultural policy, both historic and current, and then to build on the findings to develop the characteristics of effective arts leadership. Why entrpreneurial arts leadership? This book provides the answer through historical analysis, case studies and a survey of arts leaders, during one of the more challenging periods of cultural industry evolution.
The ""Entrepreneurial Arts Leader"" is grounded in an understanding of cultural policy, management, art history, entrpreneurship and creativity, and is cross-disciplinary. It features a comprehensive bibliography and models of entrpreneurial arts leaders, and will be of seminal importance to arts managers, administrators, cultural makers and students.
Changing the Performance
Julia Rowntree
Publisher: Routledge, an imprint of Taylor & Francis Books Ltd (20 April 2006). 288 pages
"Changing the Performance: A Companion Guide to Arts, Business and Civic Relations" is an inspiring manual for arts practitioners concerned with the relationship between business, the arts and wider society, and particularly those engaged in fundraising.
Julia Rowntree gives a fascinating account of her experiences forging the business sponsorship campaign at the London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT). Faced with a funding crisis in the early 1990s, LIFT responded with a radical experiment in business arts relations - the LIFT Business Arts Forum - in which young students and people from private and public sectors are invited to attend the theatre together and imagine how they might do their work differently as a result of this shared experience.
This book proposes that fundraising for the arts is much more than simply a function for generating income. It fulfills an ancient social role of connection across levels of power, expertise, culture, gender and generation. Rowntree describes why these dynamics are vital to society's ability to adapt. Raising intriguing questions about common ground between artistic, social and commercial innovation, this book offers a new model for the theory and practice of financing the arts.

Cities and the Creative Class
Richard Florida
Routledge, November 2004. 208 pages
Cities and the Creative Class gathers in one place for the first time the research leading up to Richard Florida's theory on how the growth of the creative economy shapes the development of cities and regions. In a new introduction, Florida updates this theory and responds to the critics of his 2002 bestseller, The Rise of the Creative Class. The essays that make up Cities then spell out in full empirical detail and analysis the key premises on which the argument of Rise are based. He argues that people are the key economic growth asset, and that cities and regions can therefore no longer compete simply by attracting companies or by developing big-ticket venues like sports stadiums and downtown development districts. To truly prosper, they must tap and harness the full creative potential of all people, basing their strategies on a comprehensive blend of the 3 Ts of economic development: Technology, Talent, and Tolerance. Long-run success requires a reinvention of regions into the kind of open and diverse places that can attract and retain talent from across the social spectrum - by allowing people to validate their varied identities and to pursue the lifestyles and jobs they choose.
Richard Florida is the Hirst Professor in George Mason University's School of Public Policy and a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution. He lives in Washington DC.
Creative Industries
John Hartley (Ed), Queensland University of Technology (Brisbane, Australia
Blackwell Publishers, January 2005
Creative Industry is a daring collection of essays that charts the noisy revolution that is transforming the production, consumption, and understanding of culture in the all-wired era. It brings together seminal essays written across traditional and new media, industry sectors and national contexts to demonstrate that content still drives a value-neutral, knowledge economy.
Creative Industries: Contracts Between Art & Commerce
Richard E. Caves
Harvard University Press, June 2000. 464 pages
This book explores the organization of creative industries, including the visual and performing arts, movies, theatre, sound recordings, and book publishing. In each, artistic inputs are combined with other, "humdrum" inputs. But the deals that bring these inputs together are inherently problematic: artists have strong views; the muse whispers erratically; and consumer approval remains highly uncertain until all costs have been incurred. To assemble, distribute, and store creative products, business firms are organized, some employing creative personnel on long-term contracts, others dealing with them as outside contractors; agents emerge as intermediaries, negotiating contracts and matching creative talents with employers. Firms in creative industries are either small-scale pickers that concentrate on the selection and development of new creative talents or large-scale promoters that undertake the packaging and widespread distribution of established creative goods. In some activities, such as the performing arts, creative ventures facing high fixed costs turn to nonprofit firms. To explain the logic of these arrangements, the author draws on the analytical resources of industrial economics and the theory of contracts. He addresses the winner-take-all character of many creative activities that brings wealth and renown to some artists while dooming others to frustration; why the "option" form of contract is so prevalent; and why even savvy producers get sucked into making "ten-ton turkeys," such as Heaven's Gate. However different their superficial organization and aesthetic properties, whether high or low in cultural ranking, creative industries share the same underlying organizational logic.
Richard E. Caves is Nathaniel Ropes Research Professor of Political Economy at Harvard University.
The Creative City: A Toolkit for Urban Innovators
Charles Landry
Cities have always been the crucible of culture and civilization and the hubs of wealth creation. But today they face enormous challenges. Over half the world's population already lives in cities and the proportion is set to grow rapidly. Compounded by infrastructural, economic and social problems, dramatic changes are taking place. If cities are to flourish, there has to be a paradigm shift in the way they are managed, to draw fully on the talents and creativity of their own residents - businesses, city authorities and the citizens themselves. This text is a call for imaginative action in the development and running of urban life and a clear and detailed toolkit of methods by which our cities can be revived and revitalized. Presenting case studies and examples of urban innovation and regeneration from around the world, it analyzes teh crucial steps and disciplines involved. It shows how to think, plan and act creatively in addressing urban issues, and how to apply the methods described in any city.
The Cultural Economy of Cities
Allen J Scott
SAGE Publications, November 2000. 245 pages
Culture is big business. It is at the root of many urban regeneration schemes throughout the world. It is also one of the leaders of the post-Fordist economic revolution, yet the economy of culture is under-theorized and under-developed.
In this wide-ranging and penetrating volume, the economic logic and structure of the modern cultural industries is explained. The connection between cultural production and urban-industrial concentration is demonstrated and the book shows why global cities are the homelands of the modern cultural industries. This book covers many sectors of cultural economy, from craft industries such as clothing and furniture, to modern media industries such as cinema and music recording.
The role of the global city as a source of creative and innovative energy is examined in detail, with particular attention paid to Paris and Los Angeles. The book provides an invaluable discussion of the political economy of cultural commodities and of the predicaments associated with the increasing commercialization and globalization of culture. It will be required reading for serious students of sociology, cultural studies and geography.
The Cultural Industries
David Hesmondhalgh
SAGE Publications; 1st edition, May 2002. 290 pages
What are the "cultural industries"? What role do they play in contemporary society? How are they changing?
The Cultural Industries combines a political economy approach with the best aspects of cultural studies, sociology, communication studies and social theory to provide an overview of the key debates surrounding cultural production.
The book:
Considers both the entertainment and the information sectors
Combines analysis of the contemporary scene with a long-range historical perspective
Draws on an range of examples from North America, the UK, Europe and elsewhere Hesmondhalgh's clearly written, thoroughly argued overview of political-economic, organizational, technological and cultural change represents an important intervention in research on cultural production, but at the same time provides students with an accessible, indispensable introduction to the area.
The Culture Industry
Heinz Steinert
Polity Press (February 1, 2003). 224 pages
The term 'culture industry' has been a key reference point in the critical literature on culture and the media ever since the classic chapter in Horkheimer and Adorno's Dialectic of Enlightenment, yet until now there has been little attempt to update the analysis for the present day. In this innovative new book, Heinz Steinert applies the concept of culture industry to contemporary cultural forms and demonstrates its relevance for the twenty-first century.Unravelling Horkheimer and Adorno's complex prose, Steinert sets out to explain precisely what is meant by the term 'culture industry'. Writing in a clear and engaging style, he provides an accessible exposition of the key themes and concepts. This close textual analysis is combined with wide-ranging case studies showing how the concept of culture industry can be used to approach more recent cultural phenomena. Examining contemporary film, pop music and art, as well as dating agencies and the paparazzi, Steinert reveals the ways in which culture is commodified today.This is an original book that provides a fresh critical perspective on culture and the media. It will be essential reading for students of media and cultural studies, sociology and of the humanities in general
Urban Conservation
Nahoum Cohen
The MIT Press, February 1999. 380 pages
In cities around the world, urban culture is threatened as commercial pressures overwhelm concerns for architectural integrity. Recognizing that isolated efforts at architectural renovation do not automatically restore the historic integrity of cities, planners are seeking new methods and tools to save the structure and history of cities. In this book Nahoum Cohen establishes the emerging discipline of urban conservation as crucial to the future of urban planning and to the survival of cities in the twenty-first century.
This is the first comprehensive presentation of the wide range of issues involved in urban conservation. The author examines such cities as Athens, Budapest, Istanbul, Jaffa, Jerusalem, Paris, Rome, San Francisco, Sofia, Tel Aviv, and Vienna, as well as Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and European archeological sites. He shows how preservation is the direct result of urban conservation and how it is enhanced by in-depth knowledge of city structure and history.
Editorial note added by ArtsManagementNet : by Ronnie Dissentshik, correspondent, Tel Aviv
MacGraw Hill has recently published in Chinese the study "Urban Conservation" by Israeli Architect and Town Planner Nahoum Cohen. The book was originally published by The MIT Press (Mass. Inst. Of Technology in 1998 and a second print was published by MacGraw Hill a couple of years ago. The book establishes urban conservation as a crucial force for the future of urban planning and a source of survival strategies for cities. It seems to be the first comprehensive presentation of the wide range of issues in urban conservation. The book refers to a large number of European and Middle Eastern cities and analyses the issues with the help of many illustrations, photos and maps. It takes the reader methodologically from the principles of conservation thru archeology, urban elements, nature etc. It will be a challenge to Chinese professionals to integrate such a western cultural concepts into their thinking and work.

Tourism and Culture: An Applied Perspective
Erve Chambers
Essays and case studies by anthropologists provide insight into what measures might be necessary to mitigate the potentially harmful effects of tourism on host communities.
Anthropologists and other social scientists have only recently undertaken systematic studies of modern tourism. The need for such research is apparent given the fact that the travel and tourism industry has become one of the largest industries in the world. Major cities, entire countries, and even some of the most seemingly remote places on the globe, have become increasingly dependent on attracting tourists to their locales. The transformations that are occurring as a result of tourism are not solely economic--tourism can bring about profound cultural changes, can have important consequences for a region's ethnic and historic identity, and can produce significant social and political transformations to host communities. Few human activities have such great potential as does tourism for exposing on a personal level the considerable inequalities that do exist between people, particularly between people of different countries and different color.
Tourism and Culture provides detailed case studies that explore the complexity of modern tourism relationships. The book challenges the often assumed primacy of the relationships between "hosts" and their "guests," arguing that virtually all forms of tourism are mediated by parties who stand outside of such immediate relationships. Individual contributions to the book describe tourism developments in specific locales, offering a variety of perspectives on both positive and negative human consequences of the industry. Another unique feature of the book is development of tourism activities in different parts of the world. "This book is an interesting and exciting collection that promises to significantly advance the tourism research field. Chambers has provided us with a collection of essays that focus on social adaptation and response to tourism. Thoughtful, critical essays on the meaning of the tourism experience from the native's point of view are rare and Chambers has, through his selection of pieces, suggested the incredible complexity of the tourism experience." -- Barbara Rose Johnston, Center for Political Ecology, Santa Cruz

The Fourth Pillar of Sustainability: Culture's Essential Role in Public Planning
Jon Hawkes
The Fourth Pillar provides a clear definition of culture, analyses its function within the emerging new planning paradigms, and proposes practical measures for the integration of a cultural perspective into the public sphere. The key conclusion of this work is that a whole-of-government cultural framework, operating in parallel with social, environmental and economic frameworks, is essential for the achievement of a sustainable and healthy society.
Cultural vitality is as essential to a healthy and sustainable society as social equity, environmental responsibility and economic viability. In order for public planning to be more effective, its methodology should include an integrated framework of cultural evaluation along similar lines to those being developed for social, environmental and economic impact assessment.
Economics of Art and Culture
Victor Ginsburg
Publisher : North-Holland, Saint Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. 2004.
This volume contains a large selection of the invited papers given at the Twelfth Conference of the Association of Cultural Economics International held in Rotterdam in 2002. Two sessions were devoted to what came to be called the cultural industries (movies, television, media, etc.). Two dealt with the history of art and music markets. The last two were more policy oriented. One was devoted to the management of built heritage which becomes larger every year, and will be in need of more and more public funding. The invited speakers in the last session had spent, or are still spending, some or most of their time in the "real world," and try to discuss how cultural economists can contribute to alleviate the hard life of those who have to manage culture. Choices necessarily meant that many fields in which active research is alive were not dealt with, in particular, the contemporary functioning of art markets, artists' labor markets, museums and their management, aesthetic choices and tastes, the meaning of quality in the arts, etc. In this volume, the papers given in the six sessions are reshuffled and grouped into three parts: the cultural industries, historical aspects, and policy issues including the management heritage.
The Art of City Making
Charles Landry
Earthscan, 462 pages
This truly inspirational tour de force takes readers on a tremendous global journey of discovery to put the art back into city-making. All those involved in the future of cities should read this monumental work - your imagination will be freed. Practical guidance combined with visionary insights and challenges weave through every chapter ." Clive Harridge, President, Royal Town Planning Institute, UK
Charles Landry has been a long term contributor to the art of city-making. In his new book he provides a clear insight into this lost art and the way forward as our cities must become attractive, sustainable and financially viable living environments." Professor Rob Adams, Director, Design & Culture, City of Melbourne, Australia
This book has power and art to evolve Asian and Japanese cities creatively, and it is a bible for people interested in the future of a city." Dr Masayuki Sasaki, Dean, Professor of Graduate School for Creative Cities, Osaka City University, Japan
City-making is a difficult art, and Charles Landry has captured its essence. His world view is valuable to people everywhere who care about cities. All of his books sit highlighted and dog-eared near my desk, and this one will be no exception. " Carol Coletta, President, CEOs for Cities, USA, and host and producer of the Smart City radio programme
City-making is an art, not a formula. The skills required to re-enchant the city are far wider than the conventional ones like architecture, engineering and land-use planning. There is no simplistic, ten-point plan, but strong principles can help send good city-making on its way. The vision for 21st century cities must be to be the most imaginative cities for the world rather than in the world. This one change of word - from in to for - gives city-making an ethical foundation and value base. It helps cities become places of solidarity where the relations between the individual, the group, outsiders to the city and the planet are in better alignment.
Following the widespread success of The Creative City, this new book, aided by international case studies, explains how to reassess urban potential so that cities can strengthen their identity and adapt to the changing global terms of trade and mass migration. It explores the deeper fault-lines, paradoxes and strategic dilemmas that make creating the good city so difficult.
