ABSTRACT

The topic of this special issue is Cultural Literacies in Transition. Contemporary societal transitions raise a number of important questions about what can or should currently be considered as relevant or valuable knowledge about culture and the arts, about what is currently considered to be the societal and educational value of knowledge about and engagement with culture and the arts, both in policy as well as in the public debate, and about the ways cultural institutions address their changing and increasingly even contested roles as mediator and go-between of such literacies. This introduction sets the scene for the special issue and introduces the different contributions.

摘要

本期特刊的主题是“转型中的文化素养”。当代的社会转型引发了许多重要的问题，这些问题是关于什么可以或应该被认为是与文化和艺术有关的知识或有价值的知识，关于什么被认为是关于与文化和艺术有关的知识的社会和教育价值的问题。无论是在政策还是在公开辩论中，以及在文化机构如何应对其不断变化的，甚至越来越有争议的角色（如调解人和此类文学之间的中间角色）方面，均如此。本简介为特刊奠定了基础，并介绍了不同的贡献。
