The starting point of our research within the ongoing Horizon 2020 project, 'European Inventory of Societal Values of Culture as a Basis for Inclusive Cultural Policies in the Globalizing World, ' is that, in the last thirty years, mega-trends of globalization, European integration, migrations, digitalization and rising social inequalities have changed culture fundamentally, but that cultural policies in Europe have not kept pace with these changes. This paper focuses on the influence of rising social inequalities on culture. Our data come from a survey on 14, 374 respondents – from the Netherlands, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Croatia and Serbia. Using the dataset which includes primary data on respondents’ physical and digital practices in everyday, popular and elite culture, we aim to create comprehensive evidence on the influence of social inequalities on cultural practices. In this paper, we try to answer the following research questions: (1) Do inequalities in economic and cultural capital differently influence cultural practices (with a special reference to differences in traditional (physical) and digital practices)? ; (2) Do inequalities in economic and cultural capital differently influence art-related cultural practices (both physical and digital) and everyday cultural practices (which are an expression of the way of life in the community)? ; (3) What is the impact of social differences (in terms of age and place of residence) on these different types of cultural practices? Answers to these questions provide an opportunity to conceive comprehensive measures of cultural policy aiming to lessen the impact of these economic/cultural/demographic barriers to cultural participation. |
