CULTURAL POLICY AND INDUSTRIES OF IDENTITY - DE...

This book explores the cultural policies of sub-states with strong nationalist inclinations-in
particular  Québec  Scotland  and Catalonia-and their trend  in recent years  towards promoting
and supporting the cultural industries as a means of not just preserving their respective
cultural identities  but of growing them. This represents a paradigm shift from the traditional
discourse around cultural policy  which often posits that concepts of identity fall under the
purview of heritage institutions and organizations  not that of industries. Drawing on the work
of Boltanski and Thévenot-notably  their economies of worth framework-this book develops a
typological analysis of cultural policy. Specifically  this book seeks to fill a gap in the
cultural policy and cultural studies literature where identity and the cultural industries are
concerned  expanding on the role of the cultural industries in the development of identity and
the implications it has for cultural policy.
