| Description: |
Labour arts policy has consistently been entwined with the party's wider political strategy, both in government and in opposition. Combining historical research with political analysis, Franco Bianchini explores Labour's changing attitudes to arts policy from 1918 to 1992, concluding with a chapter on New Labour's approach. |
| Synopsis: |
Bianchini highlights the tension between Labour's traditional top-down approach of extending access to the arts, and its more radical, sporadic attempts at 'cultural democracy', which attempt to engage with popular imagination and culture. In a key chapter on the Greater London Council's cultural policies from 1981 to 1986, Bianchini shows how they challenged the model of arts policy-making that had been dominant since the establishment of the Arts Council in 1946. Their effects resonated for a long while after Thatcher abolished the authority and are still relevant to contemporary debates. Chapters in the book include discussions of: Labour cinema and propaganda; the establishment of municipal theatres; the Thatcher government's arts policies and the responses to them by Labour Shadow Arts Ministers; GLC cultural policy as a political strategy and its policy making and arts organising; the experiences of Labour Shadow Arts Ministers until 1992; and the impact of arts policies in a range of UK cities. |
