Abstract

While previous studies have examined cultural democracy in connection with cultural policies enacted by policymakers, they have overlooked the role of public participation and mobilization. This study explores how cultural democracy is achieved by collective mobilization. Our case study of Guggenheim Helsinki shows that rising cultural globalization triggered a social movement to resist diminishing representation of national identity. A bottom-up process of collective mobilization created pressures on policymakers to direct cultural policies toward maintaining the dominance of local culture. In particular, cultural democracy was delivered through public participation in the control of culture while rejecting cultural globalization.

摘要

尽管先前的研究已经研究了与政策制定者制定的文化政策相关的文化民主，但他们却忽略了公众参与和动员的作用。本研究探讨了通过集体动员如何实现文化民主。我们对赫尔辛基古根海姆（Guggenheim Helsinki）的案例研究表明，不断上升的文化全球化引发了一场社会运动，以抵制民族认同感的下降。自下而上的集体动员过程给政策制定者施加了压力，要求他们将文化政策指导以保持当地文化的主导地位。特别是，文化民主是通过公众参与文化控制而拒绝文化全球化而实现的。
