This thought-provoking collection of essays is essential reading for anyone who cares about cultural institutions and their role in the community of learners. These institutions—often museums or libraries—have the power to profoundly alter our sense of ourselves and of the world around us, but that power carries with it obligations. David Carr challenges us to contemplate both the effects and the responsibilities, to examine carefully the nuances of these experiences. Yet a visit to a cultural institution is itself only one act in the broader activity of learning throughout our lives. Carr has much to say about the experience of learning in its best sense and thus speaks not only to lovers of cultural institutions, but also to lovers of learning everywhere.

The thesis aims at a holistic and multidisciplinary redefinition of public interest in the cultural sphere, contextualised in the democratic and cosmopolitan era. The thesis reveals various problems and weaknesses of the cultural sphere by combining a wide variety of concepts and discourses such as critiques of: high and mass culture, aesthetics, monopolistic competition, hegemonic value and copyrights regimes. In other words the thesis merges the critiques of the oligopolistic actors, of the hegemonic copyright and value regimes of the cultural sphere. The argument is supported by case studies of two major French museums and of Joseph Beuys' practice. After review several critiques of the cultural sphere the research argues for tackling these issues in the spirit of cultural democracy, free culture and participatory culture. As our findings show these three notions can provide approaches to creating an 'ideal' cultural sphere. After redefining public interest, we will suggest how all stakeholders may reach these 'ideal' conditions. The suggestions are addressed to public bodies - including cultural and educational institutions, policy makers, public funding bodies - and cultural professionals. The thesis concludes, there is a clear need to open up a debate about cultural value in order to eliminate hegemonic value regimes. Recent copyright regimes, systems of public subsidy and cultural institutions do not serve the public interest. In order to possibly obtain a balanced, competitive and democratic cultural sphere, which promotes freedom of expression and cultural identity, active cultural participation is also indispensable. Finally the research explores the promise and possible ways of development of the online cultural sphere.

In the ongoing culture wars, multiculturalism represents a threat to traditional values for some, and a promise for a more inclusive society for others. This rich collection demonstrates multiculturalism's potential to transform human society and teach it to respect--rather than reject or merely tolerate--difference. It offers diverse approaches to multiculturalism as it applies to contemporary themes of autonomy, identity and education. Drawing on philosophy, literature, sociology, history and political science, the contributors weave together personal narratives, pedagogical interpretations and global perspectives to offer a vision of the twenty-first century.

In the last decades museums all around the world have been pressured by different forces and actors to rethink their social relevance and embrace new responsibilities and roles. Even though the dedicated literature outlines there is no single path to relevance, discussions generally focus on meaning-making, organisational change and relationship with the constituencies. A pitfall in the ongoing debate on relevance is the lack of analysis concerning how these internationally common challenges intersect with specific geographical, political and cultural factors, whose entanglement with one's institution history and identity often transforms in resistances towards processes of institutional change. This paper analyses these multifaceted aspects through the case study of the Querini Stampalia Foundation in Venice, building on the interdisciplinary research carried out with Ca' Foscari University of Venice (2016-2020) and the memoir of one collaborator of the Foundation and co-author of this paper. The paper intersects diverse methodologies and perspectives.

′His wealth of scholarship and sharp insights make this a very fine book indeed. It is probably the fullest statement of Raymond Williams′s enduring influence upon cultural studies′ - Jim McGuigan, University of Loughborough ′An accessible, engaging book′ - TOPIA: Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies This important book traces the continuing influence on contemporary cultural studies of the kinds of cultural materialism developed by Raymond Williams and his successors. Williams now often appears in cultural studies as a vaguely remembered ′founding father′, rather than a theorist whose work is still actively relevant to our present condition. Milner′s book restores Williams to a central position in relation to the formation and development of cultural studies. It stresses the differences between Williams and that other founding father, Richard Hoggart, arguing that the label ′culturalism′ cannot properly be applied to both. It argues that Williams stands in an essentially analogous relation to the British ′culturalist′ tradition as do Foucault and Bourdieu to French structuralism and Habermas to German critical theory and that his cultural materialism is not so much culturalist as positively ′post-culturalist′. To those who have complained that contemporary cultural studies is insufficiently concerned with history, embeddedness and political economy, Milner suggests that this is so, in part, because Williams has become such a neglected resource. The book is a much needed reappraisal of the Williams approach, correcting misinterpretations and demonstrating its singular relevance to the problems and potentials facing cultural studies today. What emerges most powerfully is a logically consistent and penetrating way of ′doing cultural studies′ that successfully challenges many of the dominant approaches in the field.
