THE CONCEPT OF CULTURAL INDUSTRY POLICY: A CRITICAL PERCEPTION
Abstract
The
concept of culture industry that used as a key concept. Cities gain “meta
presence” in the culture industry by restructuring their identities that they
have. The current strategy of urbanization policy is to make industrial
production tool by making the culture obsolete. So urban transformation
projects are one of the important tools of identity production to raise up the
economic and social power of the cities, today. This text revealing, the
cities' cultural and spatial values, encountered problems at the urban identity
design process. This is the phenomena of the power of politics.
While
globalization attaches importance to the nature of the space that produces
social relations, it still acts within rational modernity (structuralist
thought), which perceives time as homogeneous. Because capitalism tends to be
"destruction of the process over the time". This attitude continued
until it has realized that globalization could not be experience in the same
way in every society.
Today,
community-specific cultural practices restructured with 'market-focused' norm
production. This development stems from the fact that new culture and identity
policies play an active role in the global economy. In this process,
multinational corporations disintegrated the autonomous spheres of nation
states. In doing so, they also supported the masses by highlighting their micro
identity and belonging.
The
logic of capitalist perception and fiction is 'structural'.
"Structuralism" separates (by bringing into account information on a
measurable value) the factors in the "spatial" and "social"
differentiation that determine the cultural diversity. The society studies in
the logic of Cartesian thought. According to this logic, the market is a
structured field of social acts. "Cultural industries" are also the
structural components of the market in this context.
