Le Pluralisme Culturel: Une Réponse aux Impasses Économiques de «l´Exception» et de la «Diversité Culturelle»

Cultural Pluralism: A Response to the Economic Dead Ends of "the Exception" and "Cultural Diversity"

Farchy argues that the market is a threat to cultural diversity and that the policy responses introduced by governments, such as the “exception culturelle”, are insufficient to counteract this threat. Simply introducing the concept of cultural diversity in cultural policy which aims at finding a balance between an economic vision of culture (limited to cultural industries) and a broad vision based on all cultural expressions is also not enough. Policy concepts of cultural diversity must also address the diversity of producers and of productions as well as a diversity of supply and demand.
