Description

De quelle façon les gouvernements provinciaux et territoriaux du Canada interviennent-ils dans la vie culturelle et artistique de leurs citoyens — Quels changements et sources d’influence sont à l’origine de ces politiques et de leur mise en oeuvre — Sur quels fondements ont-ils basé et basent-ils de nos jours leurs interventions en ce domaine — Comment les gouvernements traduisent-ils les notions de culture et de politique culturelle au fil du temps — Quels sont les objectifs, les finalités de leurs politiques culturelles, ainsi que les outils d’intervention privilégiés “

Les réponses à ces questions sont multiples et complexes de par les idéaux fondateurs et le contexte historique unique de chaque province et territoire, mais également de par les visées des gouvernements successifs concernés ainsi que les valeurs et les identités propres des populations qui y habitent.

L’ouvrage Cultural Policy: Origins, Evolution, and Implementation in Canada’s Provinces and Territories présente une histoire des politiques culturelles infranationales, incluant l’institutionnalisation et l’instrumentalisation de la culture par les gouvernements provinciaux et territoriaux; les objectifs et les finalités poursuivis par ces derniers; le rôle des ministères, des sociétés de la Couronne, les organismes gouvernementaux et les principales institutions publiques dans le domaine de la culture; et le développement, la diffusion et les impacts des politiques culturelles infranationales canadiennes.
