Culture and citizenship

Abstract: This article argues that, instead of assuming that we know what ‘cultural citizenship’ involves, we should investigate more closely the uncertainties about what constitutes the ‘culture’ (or cultures) of citizenship. The article argues for the distinctive contribution of cultural studies to the problem of democratic engagement, as usually framed within political science. It then reports some preliminary findings from the recently completed ‘Media Consumption and the Future of Public Connection’ project, which … Show more

“…The power dynamics of such relations is important, but the 'publicness' and transparency of this process, as exemplified by the act of making public heritage, enables sites to productively entertain such agonistic democratic processes. Couldry (2006) points out the five 'generic processes' that constitute the public spheres of citizenship: imagining, vocalizing, investing identities through narrative, creating social worlds and communities of support, and creating a culture of public problems-all processes potentially contained within multi scales of heritagization.

Hence, the position of cultural programming in digital technology should deserve special attention, as shared (national) culture is considered vital for active citizenship (see Couldry, 2006). As a result of pressure from various stakeholders, cultural policies toward digital television services vary per country.…”

“…At its broadest, it refers to the "cultural" dimensions that attend membership of a national population, such as the forms of social participation and specific knowledges regarded as important for citizens to engage in and possess. It can refer to both rights and obligations, and has also been described in terms of "cultures of citizenship" (Couldry 2006). It can be analyzed more specifically as a set of capacities that provide the necessary practical support for civic participation and the activation of other citizenship rights (such as the right to education and employment).…”
