Making Culture Matter: the Participative Role of ProCulture in the Field of Art and Culture Support
Ledererová, Gabriela ; Deverová, Lenka (advisor) ; Šloufová, Romana (referee)
On a more general level, this thesis deals with the social function of art and culture in the Czech Republic. In spite of a publicly dominant view that art and culture assert themselves naturally, this thesis points to the fact that without the accompanying institutional and cultural background changes in the their perception as fundamental and irreplaceable vehicles of social cohesion can not be attained. On a more concrete level this is documented through the analysis of an organization that was founded precisely in view of attaining these changes - ProCulture. In assessing their two principle goals - promoting the positive role of art and culture and the professionalization of cultural NGO's - it concludes by the insight that despite the exceptional social positioning of the organization it is much easier to promote the language of change than effectuating changes.
