Konference om kulturpolitik i Europa
Institut for Kunst- og Kulturvidenskab på Københavns Universitet holder konference om 'Identitet, nationalisme og kulturpolitik i Europa'
Tekst fra konferenceprogrammet:
"Globalization, European integration and migration are crucial factors behind the presentrevitalisation of nationalism in cultural policy in Europe. The transformations and challenges confronting the European regions, nations, national states and minorities seem to indicate that collective forms of identity, such as nationalism, are improved in public cultural policy and will hardly be reduced in the years to come.
Cultural policy has also been an official part of the EU. With the Maastricht Treaty aseparate cultural paragraph was adopted. The cultural policy dimension hassince been further elaborated and written into the Lisbon Treaty.
Finally the complex relations between identities, nationalism and cultural policy have beenput on the agenda as a new direction in the humanities and social sciences.
The aim of the Conference is to contribute to an academic and political identification, clarification and debate of the different ideas of nationalism displayed in cultural policies in Europe today. The conference is bringing together experts from a variety of disciplines in cultural policy studies to discuss:
• How are identity, nationalism and cultural policy reflected in the human and social sciences?
• Which ideas of identity are currently displayed in national European cultural policies and in the European Union?
• Which theoretical and methodological approaches seem to be promising for further research and new political practices?

Multiculturalism, Nationalism and the Charge of Culturalism
An argument is presented according to which multicultural recognition flows from an ideal of equality of opportunity. It is then specified how identity politics plays a different role in multiculturalism than in nationalism. Finally, the charge that such multiculturalism, just like nationalism, involves a problematic commitment to multiculturalism is considered and rejected.
