In the twenty-first century, cultural policy is increasingly dominated by the politics of diversity. Cultural institutions lack confidence in their own intrinsic value and seek relevance by promoting diverse identities. Meanwhile, policy-makers see culture as a tool to support marginal groups and address a range of social and economic issues, from community cohesion to urban regeneration. Based on original research and insights, The Politics of Culture charts a long-term shift in policy-making towards the use of culture as an instrument to achieve social and political objectives. This has brought an increase in funding and prestige to cultural institutions but created confusion about what culture is, who it belongs to and what it says about being human. This book puts forward a new understanding of universalism, one which recognizes that our ability to transcend difference is the essence of human culture and democratic politics.
