Summary/Abstract: A tacit or manifest ideological discourse is always imprinted upon cultural policy realized in the form of projects or as a mass of social production practices. It is obvious that ideologies, especially the dominant ones, are endlessly reproduced through institutional and “spontaneous” aspects of culture: the key question for emancipatory involvement through cultural policy nowadays is how to settle the different and often antagonistic class projects and social groups’ interests which require that their ideological domain be materialized. The possibilities and boundaries of critical action upon culture through various institutions will be observed through three theoretical models: the relation between ideology and state ideological apparatus in Marxist philosophy of Louis Althusser, models of culture as instances of dominant, residual and emerging practices in culture studies of Raymond Williams, and the reform influence through institutions in contemporary culture studies of Tony Bennett.
