Abstract
Cultural policy arrangements are situated in complex discursive contexts
where different conflicting social interests, policy objectives and values are important
conditions in the everyday life of social actors in the policy field. The dispute on cultural
policy studies can also be related to power structure and political and cultural
sphere in which cultural policy and activities are exercised. The paper refers back the
different concepts within cultural policy discourse, followed by the theoretical reflection
on both the Habermasian’s and Foucauldian’s analytical perspectives of cultural
policy studies and aims to explore both critical and practical intellectuality within a
cultural policy studies field. This paper sought to broaden the mainstream debate
within cultural policy studies.
Keywords
