Heritage Diplomacy Discourses in the EU: Notions on Cultural Diplomacy, Cultural Heritage, and Intercultural Dialogue among EU Officials and Heritage…

2021

The European Commission has recently identified cultural heritage as one of the focus areas for EU cultural diplomacy. The article explores EU cultural diplomacy that deals with cultural heritage and discusses the concept of heritage diplomacy based on a discourse analysis of interviews with EU officials and heritage practitioners working at sites awarded the European Heritage Label. How do EU officials and heritage practitioners understand the role of cultural heritage for cultural diplomacy and what kinds of discourses do they use in talking about it? My analysis indicates that heritage diplomacy means different things for EU officials and heritage practitioners. Their discourses…

The definition of culture in culture-based urban development strategies: antagonisms in the construction of a culture-based development discourse

2013

Implementing culture-based development strategies is a recent trend in large and small cities all over Europe. The definition of culture and the objectives of cultural strategies are highly contested in the public debate. Analysing the newspaper debates on the establishment of the Cultiva foundation in Kristiansand, Norway, this article discusses how and why the discursive debate on the definition of culture creates different discursive positions in the public debate on culture-based development. In the different discourses on what these strategies should be, there are a number of antagonisms that contribute to defining the relationships and interfaces between the different discursive posit…

Is culture-led redevelopment relevant for rural planners? The risk of adopting urban theories in rural settings

2016

In the paper, the author argues that cultural strategies and theories about urban planning may be irrelevant or even counterproductive outside urban and suburban contexts. In many rural settings the problem is not the destruction of the cultural heritage or how to counterbalance the influence from corporate interests, but rather the absence of such interests in the first place. From a study of two rural municipalities in southern Norway, the author demonstrates that culture-led strategies may be more of a distraction than an instrument for creating economic growth. Measured by the common goals for rural development in Norway, the cultural strategy has only been a success in one of the cases…

Heritage and Cultural Policy in France under the Fifth Republic

2003

International audience; In the French historical tradition, four approaches at least have been heavily exploited. One seminal study defines the concept longitudinally in terms of religion, the monarchy, the family, the nation, the administration and science. Another essay uses allegory in an attempt to penetrate the proclaimed, avowed or unspoken motives underlying the notion of heritage. Another work uses the criterion of restoration to determine when a historical monument falls into the category of heritage. Fourth, a recent ground-breaking treatise considers heritage in historical and archaeological practice as reflecting representations of citizenship and the nation. Our angle of attack…

La circulación manuscrita de los poemas alfabéticos de Francisco de Osuna: El caso del manuscrito «MSS/74» de la Biblioteca Nacional de España

2013

International audience; A raíz del redescubrimiento en la BNE del manuscrito MSS/74 —una copiosa antología de cartas y opúsculos místicos del siglo xvi—, se pudieron identificar dos de los tres «alfabetos» anónimos al amor de Dios que cierran dicho compendio: se trata en realidad de dos poemas alfabéticos de Francisco de Osuna. Constituyendo un ejemplo inédito de versiones manuscritas de los poemas del franciscano andaluz, estos alfabetos presentan variantes significativas respecto de las versiones impresas procedentes del Segundo y del Cuarto Abecedario espiritual. El cotejo de ambas versiones, y el análisis atento de dichas variantes, evidencian la realidad de una circulación oral y manus…
