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

Author: Andreas Wiesand - Date: 17 nov 2006, 13:26

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.
