“…As the first study of its kind from Slovakia, the contribution lies in the inclusion of Slovakia in the theoretical analysis of cultural participation in relation to the socio-economic status of individuals. It also adds to the context of Central and Eastern Europe, which still faces similar problems in cultural policy linked to the post-communist transformation (Vojtíšková and Lorencová 2014). In terms of the "post-Bourdieu debate", the findings have confirmed that higher class behavior is related more to omnivorous cultural consumption although it does not predict any form of cultural participation.…”

This paper explores the trends in participation in a variety of cultural activities in Slovakia. Although the research on cultural participation has thrived and there have been plenty of empirical studies published about the consumption of cultural products in different countries, there is still a lack of comprehensive research from former post-communist countries. The paper aims to test the link between cultural participation and social and economic characteristics, which has previously been done in other international studies. The cluster analysis suggests four types of Slovak cultural participants—the heritage visitors, the omnivores, the popular genre visitors, and the inactive. The outcomes point to a strong relationship between cultural inactivity and heritage visits to socioeconomic status, while there is a weak relationship between highbrow cultural participation and the upper-class. The results challenge cultural policies to be adjusted for different groups of cultural participants with the objective of increasing the overall consumption of cultural goods in Slovakia.

“…These products are relevant and useful to the population of the country or region due to the following reasons: the creation of new jobs, the increase of public employment, the attraction of investments, and the improvement of the image of the country or region. However, the creation of the mentioned products requires a lot of human resources, and society is not always able to pay for it, all the more so as these are not essential products and services (Pyykkönen & Stavrum, 2018;Vojtíšková & Lorencová, 2015). Given the benefits of the products and services created by cultural economics, it is the public authorities that should be interested in their development.…”

Abstract. Purpose – the aim of the article is to present the concept of cultural economics upon analysing the scientific literature and to single out the factors that influence the development of cultural economics. Research methodology – analysis and synthesis of scientific literature. The articles published in CA WoS were analysed in order to extract high-quality information on the topic of cultural economics. Findings – after analysis of the scientific literature, the factors of cultural economics have been determined. They are as follows: creativity; new technologies; consumer society; public authorities; artistic forms; media, information, digitisation; local cultural identity; public sector approach to culture; theatre, cinema, museums, crafts; media, social networks; the needs for a consumer society and culture; public sector funding for culture. Research limitations – the main limitation of the current research is that the factors of cultural economics are distinguished from the scientific literature. For more precise identification, the experts should be interviewed as well. Practical implications – the distinguished factors could be used for measurement of the level of a country’s cultural economics level. Originality/Value – the article summarises

“…W Wielkiej Brytanii autonomia teatrów ma wyraźne konsekwencje finansowe -z raportu Stephena Hetheringtona 38 o finansowaniu teatrów brytyjskich wynika, że dotacje publiczne Royal National Theatre czy Royal Opera House nie przekraczają 30% ich przychodów. O tym, jak słodko-gorzki może być smak wolności, przekonują się instytucje w Pradze, gdzie od roku 2002 trwa mozolny proces autonomizacji teatrów publicznych 39 . Warto o tym pamiętać w kontekście roszczeń polskich instytucji artystycznych do autonomiczności.…”

According to many researchers, the cultural policy model based on the arm's length principle gives public institutions more autonomy than the so-called bureaucratic model. In line with the typology by Hillman-Chartrand and McCaughey (1989), the former is called the "patron model" and implemented in the Anglo-Saxon countries. The latter, dubbed the "architect model," prevails in continental Europe, including Poland. The aim of this paper is to question the popular belief that the continental model, by definition, has a greater bureaucratic and political influence than the Anglo-Saxon model. For this purpose, the author has analyzed the literature describing the British practice and conducted empirical research in Poland among officials responsible for theaters and directors of public theaters. The results suggest that the difference between the two models in terms of institutional autonomy is not as clear as one could infer from the typology contained in the literature.
