Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
At the end of the course ‘CULTURAL ECONOMICS: Value in Cultural Policy and Management, students will be able to apply theoretical concepts from cultural economics and policy to the analysis of current (cultural) policies and of their impact on how arts and cultural organizations try to legitimate their role in society. In particular, based on a thorough confrontation with current taxonomies of the values of art and culture, they will be able to identify the main rationales, including the currently dominant, economic one, behind current (cultural) policies. Finally, by applying state-of-the-art advocacy and accountability frameworks for art and culture to real cases, they will be able to elaborate on the (in)adequacy of the instrumental rationality and of the language of numbers for the (e)valuation of arts and culture.
