Abstract

This book contributes to bridge the gap between different scholarly communities interested in the entanglements of culture and politics in the international arena. It sheds light on existing connections in their parallel evolution with a thorough literature review, complemented by several case studies showing the fruitful character of their interdisciplinary mobilisation. Through the notions of cultural relations, intellectual cooperation and cultural diplomacy, the book draws on a soft power perspective to offer a shared, novel, and interdisciplinary theoretical framework to approach cultural institutions and organisations that have been previously examined as isolated objects: for example, cultural institutes, international organisations, literary magazines, and literary contests. The interdisciplinary nature of this volume justifies the relevance of its content for scholars working in the history of international relations, international cultural relations and intellectual history, comparative literature, sociology of literature and global literary studies.

Abstract

This book focusses on Russia’s cultural statecraft in dealing with a number of institutional cultural domains such as education, museums and monuments, high arts and sport. It analyses to what extent Russia’s cultural activities abroad have been used for foreign policy purposes, and perceived as having a political dimension.Building on the concept of cultural statecraft, the authors present a broad and nuanced view of how Russia sees the role of culture in its external relations, how this shapes the image of Russia, and the ways in which this cultural statecraft is received by foreign audiences. The expert team of contributors consider: what choices are made in fostering this agenda; how Russian state authorities see the purpose and limits of various cultural instruments; to what extent can the authorities shape these instruments; what domains have received more attention and become more politicised and what fields have remained more autonomous. The methodological research design of the book as a whole is a comparative case study comparing the nature of Russian cultural statecraft across time, target countries and diverse cultural domains.It will be of interest to scholars and students of Russian foreign policy and external relations and those working on the role of culture in world politics.

Abstract

À l’heure actuelle, la culture est devenue un des principaux enjeux de circulation économique, les sphères culturelles sont le lieu de concurrence et de concentration transnationales inédites, les processus de mondialisation touchent désormais tous les continents : il paraît donc nécessaire d’interroger l’histoire des relations culturelles internationales au long du XXe siècle. Il semble qu’après la Première guerre mondiale, l’Occident ait inventé un nouvel instrument politique extérieur, une diplomatie d’un nouveau type où s’articulent autrement la volonté de puissance des États-nations et les champs de production symbolique. À côté d’initiatives privées, l’appareil d’État a ainsi tenu une place décisive dans l’exportation des cultures nationales, la mise en place de réseaux et d’institutions visant à internationaliser les sciences, la culture et la formation des élites culturelles. L’ouvrage s’intéresse à la montée en puissance de cette diplomatie culturelle occidentale jusqu’à la fin des années 1970 lorsqu’elle est contrainte de redéfinir ses tâches devant d’autres processus, plus massifs, d’internationalisation. En de brefs essais qui touchent aussi bien la politique culturelle française au Proche-Orient et aux États-Unis, que la présence britannique en France via les « British Council » ou la comparaison des politiques culturelles française et américaine au Vietnam, l’ouvrage rappelle qu’il y eut deux pôles majeurs, peut-être successifs, de la diplomatie culturelle au XXe siècle : des politiques du rayonnement et des politiques de la réciprocité entre lesquelles on n’a cessé d’osciller. Il permet aussi d’insister sur la multiplicité des outils institutionnels de l’action culturelle extérieure. A travers l’objet « diplomatie culturelle », il propose de s’interroger en retour sur les identités nationales, en particulier sur leurs crises. Une attention particulière est accordée à deux chantiers historiographiques brûlants dont l’écho est persistant dans…

Abstract

Der Mittelmeerraum wies während des Mittelalters einen großen Reichtum an Transfer- und Austauschprozessen auf. Waren entsprechende Bedingungen (geographische Mobilität, eine kulturell grenzüberschreitende Lebenssituation oder ein entsprechendes Aktivitätsfeld etc.) gegeben, konnten Menschen zu Vermittlern von Kulturgütern werden, darunter Gesandte, Pilger, Seeleute, Händler, Schmuggler, Kriegsgefangene, Geiseln, Missionare, Ärzte, Gelehrte, Übersetzer, Dolmetscher, Bauleute, Söldner und viele andere mehr. Der Band bietet einen Überblick über verschiedene Milieus, Gruppen und Individuen, die auf jeweils unterschiedlich Art die Mobilität von Kulturgütern im mittelalterlichen Mediterraneum beförderten.

Abstract

In the early years of the Cold War, Western nations increasingly adopted strategies of public diplomacy involving popular music. While the diplomatic use of popular music was initially limited to such genres as jazz, the second half of the 20th century saw a growing presence of various popular genres in diplomatic contexts, including rock, pop, bluegrass, flamenco, funk, disco, and hip-hop, among others. This volume illuminates the interrelation of popular music and public diplomacy from a transnational and transdisciplinary angle. The contributions argue that, as popular music has been a crucial factor in international relations, its diplomatic use has substantially impacted the global musical landscape of the 20th and 21st centuries.
