Valores e tensões na política cultural ibérica: um estudo de casos = Values and tensions in Iberian cultural policy: a study of cases

Abstract

This article focuses on the main contributions of the European project Uncharted on emerging values in European cultural governance, relying on a wide document analysis, focus groups and interviews with a plethora of actors. By analyzing four Iberian case studies we seek to identify the diversity of values that shape cultural policy decisions and practices, focusing on the tensions and conflicts between the actors involved and their valuations. It will be shown that actors mobilize around disputes over the hierarchy of values, which requires an understanding of the contexts in which each repertoire is established, even if the conflictuality is exercised within the same model of cultural policy, prevalent in the two Iberian countries.
