This paper argues that the crisis sweeping over the Australian cultural sector as a result of COVID-19 presents an existential threat to current (“normal science”) methods of evaluation, and to instrumental, predominantly economic, understandings of value Outlining ways the concept of value is changing, we respond to Mariana Mazzucato’s call to go “from public goods to public value” in considering the role of government policy in key sectors of society We note the broader approach to value called for by a range of mainstream economists and provide three recent examples of challenges to existing evaluation methods in the Australian cultural sector In conclusion, we touch on the essential features of a re-constructed category of public value and the implications for value research During COVID-19, the public role of arts and culture has become self-evident The challenge is to match this realization with a new understanding of their public value © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group

从公益到公共价值：危机时期的艺术和文化

本文认为，由于 COVID-19 席卷澳大利亚文化部门的危机对当前（“常规科学”）评估方法以及工具性的、主要是经济的价值理解构成了生存威胁。价值正在发生变化，我们响应 Mariana Mazzucato 在考虑政府政策在社会关键部门中的作用时“从公共物品到公共价值”的呼吁 我们注意到一系列主流经济学家呼吁的更广泛的价值方法，并提供了三个澳大利亚文化部门现有评估方法面临挑战的最新例子 总之，我们谈到了重新构建的公共价值类别的基本特征以及在 COVID-19 期间对价值研究的影响，艺术和文化的公共角色已变得不言而喻 挑战在于如何将这种认识与对其公共价值的新理解相匹配 © 2020 Informa UK Limited，以 Taylor & Francis Group 的名义进行交易
