What are they doing, the cultural policy researchers? Or The theoretical universe of cultural policy research

Abstract

The general objective is to explore the theoretical universe of cultural policy research.Or, to use another metaphor, to map the scholarly field of cultural policy studies.More specifically formulated questions would be to examine what kind of research areas are salient; what kind of theories and methods are involved and to get hold of possible voids.The methodological approaches applied here will include both a qualitative (contents analysis) and a quantitative (bibliometry) study.The qualitative analysis will focus on the meta-theoretical debate which has taken place in the field.The bibliometric study aims at mapping the cognitive structure of the field.The originality of this proposed research lies in the continuation of the, so far (at least to my knowledge), only empirical study in this field, presented by Frenander at the Nordic conference in Norway, August 2007.
