Inhalte:
Cultural policy, both national and international, could be viewed as a set of narratives, or stories, told by people in power (or who want power) to those they would like to influence. Stories are communicative in multiple ways. The power of stories to transmit knowledge is as old as human history. Ancient stories such as The Iliad or The Gilgamesh give us insight into how people lived long ago, but also how they governed, made war, how they engaged in friendship and family life. Whether or not the stories are true is beside the point. They communicate something of relevance to those who read and study them.
In a similar way, we can look at contemporary narratives as they occur in cultural policy contexts in order to find relevance and knowledge about issues, challenges, and trends in today’s national and international policies. The course provides foundational knowledge about cultural policy and its operations in Germany and the U.S. and examines the application of narrative analysis for deeper insight into how and why particular cultural policies are created, how they influence, and how they succeed. The course covers seminal theories and methods, and how they apply in the contemporary world of cultural policy. The course leads students to practical application in crafting policy narratives in order to experience, first hand, the inner workings of cultural policy narratives.
The core reading for this course is the book Narrative, Identity, and the Map of Cultural Policy: Once Upon a Time in the Globalized World co-authored by the instructor for this course. The book is the first to tackle narrative analysis in cultural policy in a substantive way, and does so from a contemporary and historical perspective, with case examples that invite deeper reflection. Students interested in cultural policy, in political communication and persuasion, and the power of narratives will find value in this course.
Lernziele:
The aim of this course is for students to gain foundational knowledge about cultural policy and its operations in Germany and the U.S., and to learn the skills of narrative analysis for deeper insight into how and why particular cultural policies are created, how they influence, and how they succeed. Students will learn seminal theories and methods, and how they apply in the contemporary world of cultural policy. The course leads students to practical application in crafting policy narratives in order to experience, first hand, the inner workings of cultural policy narratives.
Organisation:
The course will be held as a blended learning seminar with synchronous, asynchronous and presence components. This means that the weekly course slot on Mondays (19:30–21:00) will only be held as a seminar a few times (e.g. for the introductory session, scheduled guest lectures and consultation sessions). The detailed schedule will be published in the introductory session (Monday, 14.09., 19:30). A second part will happen online (asynchronous) through the learning platform Canvas. The weekend form Friday, 16.10. to Sunday, 18.10. features three presence sessions with Constance DeVereaux at ZU, including a regional excursion (depending on the COVID-19 developments).
