Learning unit contents

Cultural policies, considered as the set of means implemented by an individual or a community to give itself a particular image, will be approached from three perspectives:
The first will present the various concepts associated with this term and their historical evolution.
The second will aim to present the evolution of cultural practices over the last two centuries by linking them to technological innovations, social and political changes, but also to the progressive integration of the cultural field into the economic field.
The third part will offer an overview of the different levels of power with competences in the field of culture. It will consider the international (UNESCO, WTO, OECD, Francophonie), European (Council of Europe, European Community), and national (federal Belgium, Federation Wallonie Bruxelles, provinces, municipalities) authorities.
