KULTURA JAKO PROBLEM TEORII I PRAKTYKI POLITYKI SPOŁECZNEJ Z PERSPEKTYWY SOCJOEKONOMICZNEJ
CULTURE AS A PROBLEM OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF SOCIAL POLICY IN THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: Culture occupies an inferior place in the theoretical and practical interests of social policy. Culture is a difficult concept to define. It constantly expands its range, blurring its boundaries. This is reflected in the progressive aesthetisation (culturalisation) reality and the increased role of an experience economy. Culture becomes an iconosphere (the realm of signs). The proof of these problems with the conceptualisation of culture are unsuccessful attempts of defining creative industries. In this situation, the only useful definition of culture is an anthropological definition, which is very general and descriptive. Therefore what is needed in social policy is a revision of the standard approach to the phenomenon of participation in culture, where ‘culture’ is usually limited to the realm of art, and ‘participation’ is usually limited to specific behaviours in the area of artistic institutions.
