Abstract

"Both cultural heritage and contemporary arts benefit from being showcased in events. Each arts-related event is unique in reflecting local culture; it may be spontaneous as with street art or planned as with a studio tour or arts festival. The Arts and Events explores the nature and complexity of managing arts events and fills a significant gap in the available literature. It investigates the history, development and management of arts events to offer much needed insight into creating economic, social and cultural capital. It therefore contributes to a greater understanding of how arts events can create a beneficial experience for the individual and the community as well as their future sustainable development. The title explores a broad range of events from around the globe including: inspirational events for building creative (social, cultural and human) capital; affirming events for encouraging links to cultural identity or heritage; pleasurable events that offer enjoyable recreational, leisure and touristic experiences; enriching events that create opportunities for personal growth and/or to sell products or experiences, and finally, celebratory events that celebrate cultural diversity. This significant volume with be a valuable source for researchers, policy-makers and managers of arts events around the globe"--

Abstract

Sozialkapital, Kulturkapital, Gesundheitskapital, Schönheitskapital, Humankapital, Naturkapital – alles scheint heute »Kapital« zu sein. Gegen den Imperialismus der Ökonomie liest Peter Streckeisen »Das Kapital« von Karl Marx neu. Er legt das Augenmerk auf die gesellschaftlichen Formen des Kapitals und weist auf blinde Flecken in Bourdieus Kapitaltheorie hin. Seine Marxismuskritik hilft, Marx als Ökonomiekritiker neu zu entdecken und für die soziologische Kapitaltheorie zu gewinnen. Das Buch richtet sich auch an eine interessierte Öffentlichkeit, die der zunehmenden Vorherrschaft des ökonomischen Denkens skeptisch gegenübersteht.

Abstract

Is poverty inevitable? No, says author Paul Godfrey. More than Money shows how organizations can win the fight against poverty and create prosperity for people at the base of the pyramid in the developing and developed world. This book presents a novel framework that shows how five types of interrelated capital—institutional, human, social, organizational, and physical—enable development and sustainable growth. In addition to a widely-applicable model, Godfrey provides principles to guide application. Core chapters articulate each specific form of capital and provide examples of how it contributes to the triple bottom line. Not just a theoretical examination of poverty, More than Money delivers timely advice to organizations that produce goods and services, implement policies, and create meaningful change on the ground. This book will guide social innovators and entrepreneurs in business, government, and civil society settings as they create a vision, assemble a team of strong partners, and effectively measure social innovation.

Abstract

It is a wide-spread belief that the cultural background inhered in a society affects the requirements of economic development. This relationship requires theoretical and empirical justification. The present book provides this together with an analysis of the development of cultural background itself. Cultural background is embodied in political institutions, in transactions, knowledge, incentives, in social capital, even in the tangibles of the economy. Thus, economic development is shaped and the rate of growth is affected. Conversely, economic development affects cultural background. When this interaction takes place at a non-developmental cultural background level, which is associated with low growth rates, then a growth trap is formed. Within such a growth trap, economic policy (public and monetary) is relatively deactivated, and the conditions influencing the change in cultural background and its timing are of primary importance.
