Note on 'Implicit' Cultural Policies
Whilst‘explicit’ cultural policy refers to policies explicitly labelled cultural, such as those pursued by ministries of culture around the world, ‘implicit’ cultural policy refers to those often more powerful forms of cultural action that are intended to shape cultures, but which are not expressly described as such. In focusing on agencies that have thus aimed to modify the behaviour of populations, a study of ‘implicit’ cultural policies tends to foreground questions that might in other contexts be explored in terms of ideology or ‘governmentality’. For a further introduction, candidates are referred to a special issue of the International Journal of Cultural Policy that addresses this theme (vol 15, no 2, 2009).
