20 YEARS AFTER THE FALL OF COMMUNISM
CULTURAL POLICY IN CENTRAL EUROPE

8 – 19 July, 2009

Aims & objectives: 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the collapse of
Communism in
Central and Eastern Europe. The 4th of June 1989 – the date of the first
free parliamentary
elections in Poland – was the climax of the Solidarity efforts and the
beginning of political
and social transformation in that part of Europe. Since then, culture has
gone through major
changes and faced a great number of new challenges not only in the
post-communist
countries. Thus, the summer session is aimed at providing participants
with a wider
perspective on changing cultural policy in European countries; working out
a comparative
study of the cultural policy trends and challenges in the countries
represented by the
participants in the programme; exchanging views on the culture in both
post-communist
Europe and “old” EU member states.

Curriculum and structure of the session:
The programme will be run in the form of lectures, seminar meetings and
workshops.
Issues to be covered:
• some history: Europe around 1989 and the following changes
• definitions, models and instruments of cultural policy
• examples of cultural policy development in Eastern and Western European
countries (comparative approach: legislation, funding, problem of
decentralization
and desetatization)
• international organizations and culture: the Council of Europe and its
former and
current priorities, UNESCO, cultural policy of the EU
• culture in the market economy/ civil society and cultural policy/
international
cultural cooperation / cultural industries / contemporary art
• national cultural policies and European perspectives
• mass media: shift from traditional tools to new technologies

The programme jointly organised with Institut für den Donauraum und
Mitteleuropa in
Vienna welcomes graduate and advanced undergraduate students, young scholars,
representatives of cultural administration, NGOs and other candidates
active in the field of
cultural management from Eastern and Western European countries.
