For this fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Villeurbanne– a political and ambiguous founding document – the symposium will be focusing on the politicization of culture, taking 1968 as the turning point. The shifting benchmarks for cultural action and the way they refer to (or keep quiet about) the relationship between politics and culture will be examined along three lines of inquiry: specialization of the cultural protagonists (i.e. operators, artists and the public); the territorialization of culture (between the loss of impetus of national cultural policies, internationalization and the rise of urbanization); and the institutional and organizational frameworks for cultural activities (their restrictive nature and interstices).
A multidisciplinary, collective debate over changes to cultural policies will lead to the production of a white paper on the current state of relations between cultural initiatives and political ethics.
