POLITICAL NATURE OF ARTS, ART PRODUCTION, MARKET MECHANISM AND STATE

Abstract

The paper investigates the relationship between the methods of funding of arts and the political nature of arts. Firstly, it is explained why state should subsidize the art production according to neo-classical economics theory. Then, various arts are classified and ordered according to their degree of politicness.  Arts that depend on more written text and words, such as theater, are more political in nature compared to the arts that do not depend on written text and word, such as classical music. The relationship between art and state along with  the relationship between arts and market mechanism is investigated. It is found that state and foundations subsidize the arts with low degree of politicness.

SANATLARIN POLİTİKLİK DERECESİ, SANAT ÜRETİMİ, PİYASA MEKANİZMASI VE DEVLET

Öz

Bu makalede sanatların politiklik derecesi ile sanat üretiminin finansman biçimleri arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır. Öncelikle, neo-klasik ekonomi teorisine göre devletin sanatsal ürünleri neden desteklemesi gerektiği matematiksel olarak açıklanmıştır. Ardından,  sanatların politiklik derecesine göre sınıflanması ve sıralanması yapılmıştır. Söze ve yazıya dayanan sanatların, tiyatro gibi, söze ve yazıya dayanmayan sanatlara göre, klasik müzik gibi daha politik olduğu vurgulanmıştır. Devlet ve sanat ilişkisi, sanat ve piyasa mekanizması ilişkisi, sanatların bu politik olma durumuna göre ayrı ayrı incelenmiştir. Devletin ve vakıflar gibi kurumların genellikle politiklik derecesi düşük sanat eserlerini veya türlerini daha çok destekledikleri örneklerle açıklanmıştır.
