Reinventing the public value of libraries     

Nick Field 《Public Library Quarterly》2018,37(2):113-126

ABSTRACT

Libraries worldwide have had to re-think their purpose and adapt to changing community needs and expectations. They are no longer simply repositories for old books. Rather, they are vital components of a community’s social and economic infrastructure that connects communities and fosters creativity and innovation. This paper explores the changing role of libraries—and public value organizations more broadly—in creating positive social, economic, and environmental outcomes for individuals and communities.  相似文献

Bursting paradigms: a colour wheel of practice-research     

Sophie Hope 《Cultural Trends》2016,25(2):74-86

ABSTRACT

In this article, I question practice as a research paradigm by exploring its position in relation to non-positivist qualitative methodologies. Frayling’s [1994. Research in art and design. Royal College of Art Research Papers, 1(1), 1993/4] distinctions between research into, through, and as (for) practice are expanded to explore overlaps between these approaches. I argue for the need to understand the nuances of different epistemologies and ontologies that underpin diverse disciplinary approaches to practice-research. This is done through an analysis of a selection of Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)-funded projects to find out how they are using and/or embedding practice in the research process. The resulting Colour Wheel of Practice-Research illustrates a spectrum of positions of practice in relation to research, suggesting existing research paradigms are bursting at the seams and that the “disciplinary matrix” of practice might offers other ways of knowing. The reason I have chosen to focus primarily on AHRC-funded projects is because it explicitly states its support of “practice-led research” and that it “remains dedicated to this area of research”. This article aims to add to knowledge of how and why practice-research is of continuing interest to research councils, universities, and those identifying as practice-based/led researchers.  相似文献

Accounting for quality: arts evaluation,public value and the case of “Culture counts”     

Abigail Gilmore  Hilary Glow  Katya Johanson 《Cultural Trends》2017,26(4):282-294

Arts policy has a longstanding relationship with the concept of “quality” and the ways in which organisations measure, evaluate and account for it. Culture Counts, an evaluation system and digital platform, compiles data from standardised evaluation surveys of different stakeholder groups – organisations, audiences, critics, funders and peers – and provides the means to compare and triangulate data in an accessible format. As a result, it claims to provide a more effective, democratic tool for quality measurement of art, which demonstrates the public value of funding [Department of Culture and the Arts, & Knell, J. (2014). Public value measurement framework: Measuring the quality of the arts. Perth: Department of Culture and the Arts.]. Through qualitative research with two consortia of organisations involved in Culture Counts pilot projects in Manchester, England and Victoria, Australia, we explore these claims, comparing the reception and promotion of the system in both countries and considering its potential incorporation into policy assessment frameworks and adoption within arts organisations’ existing evaluation capacities.  相似文献

石秀杰  董慧  齐凤 《河北师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2011,34(6)

自党的十七大提出积极探索用社会主义核心价值体系引领社会思潮的有效途径以来,学术界对此给予了极大的关注,并围绕着提出的必要性、有效途径和制度保障三个部分进行了广泛的研究,取得了丰硕的成果。但还存在着如:基础研究薄弱、宣传解读性成果较多;不同理论观点缺乏碰撞与争鸣等,这些问题还有待于进一步深化和拓展。  相似文献   

对外汉语教学视角下的汉字笔画分类     

陈子骄 《大连教育学院学报》2011,27(1):30-32

化解对外汉语教学中＂汉字难＂的问题,应对笔画重新分类。按笔画笔向折转与否,可将笔画＂三分＂为横、竖、撇、捺、点、提六个基本笔画,折、钩、弯三个特殊笔画和多个复合笔画;基本笔画可再＂三分＂为点画、线画和半线画;特殊笔画＂折＂使线画、半线画折转成直角,＂钩＂转成钝角,＂弯＂转成圆弧。占笔画多数的复合笔画都是基本笔画折、钩、弯而成的。  相似文献   

Measuring the value of theatre for Tyneside audiences     

Joshua Edelman  Maja Šorli 《Cultural Trends》2015,24(3):232-244

What values do theatre and dance hold for audience members? And how do these values differ between subsidised, amateur, and commercial performance? This paper addresses these questions through a survey of over 1800 spectators for theatre and dance in Tyneside in northeastern England, as well as a parallel set of focus groups, in the spring of 2014. These methods, which are designed for comprehensiveness and comparability, are being used across Europe by the Project on European Theatre Systems, a working group of theatre sociologists. Our research showed two sets of values which performances achieved; one was a common measure of performance quality, while the other described the values particular to subsidised work. This allows us to articulate both the general value of the arts and the particular values which subsidy (attempts to) facilitate. This has implications for both understandings of cultural value and for cultural policy, as the distinction between the two groups was not clean. We also found that amateur theatre participated in the same value system, but with an increased emphasis on loyalty and community cohesion. The paper concludes a methodological reflection on the use of quantitative methods in theatre studies.  相似文献   

武化教育的实质及其当代价值     

陈国荣  吕韶钧 《北京体育大学学报》2017,40(4):120-126

摘要：武术是中华民族优秀的文化遗产，有其特殊的文化内涵和价值功能，它不仅传达着一种文化，更传递着一种精神,而武化教育的实质就是倡导武术精神。主要采用文献资料等科研方法,围绕着武化教育的实质，以及武术精神的当代价值等方面展开论述，其目的是更加全面地了解武术所蕴含的精神价值，探讨其在时代背景下如何发挥其自身优势更好地服务当今社会。研究认为：武术精神与中国传统文化有着千丝万缕的联系，它不仅成为凝聚民族力量、彰显国家意志的利器，而且对于培养国民的尚武精神，唤醒民众对传统文化的自觉发挥了重要作用。当前应该大力弘扬武术精神中所表达的“忠、义、信、勇”的精神实质，更好地提振民族精神，团结民众，凝聚力量，为实现中华民族伟大复兴的“中国梦”做出贡献。对于进一步唤醒民众对传统文化的自觉，培养国民的尚武精神，更好地服务中华民族伟大复兴的“中国梦”都有着十分重要的现实意义。  相似文献
