Scholarly interest in the social role of music – and of cultural production more widely – has recently come to the fore again with new force, particularly in the context of on-going diversity debates in the Western cultural industries.…”

This article examines whether diversity debates in the Western cultural industries can contribute to the undoing of racialised representations of otherness or reproduce ‘race’-making logics. Based on a year-long ethnography of diversity efforts made at an opera house in Germany, I explore how difference is negotiated in the production of two opera pieces meant to bring together Western and Turkish musical practices. I specifically examine how power relations around ‘race’ and ethnicity play out in processes of commissioning, composing and rehearsal. Situating these creative practices within classical music’s institutional histories and wider discourses of citizenship and belonging in Germany, I examine to what extent racialised representations of difference are challenged or remade. I document how diversity initiatives in the cultural industries, even when aimed at institutional change, proceed within hierarchical parameters that can perpetuate the marginalisation of racialised others, their continued construction as otherness, and the persistence of institutional whiteness.

“…At the theoretical level, the underlying premise that 'intercultural dialogue' will reduce widespread prejudices (Zick, Pettigrew & Wagner 2008) finds support in a growing body of research showing how artistic representations can invest national and other collective identities with new meanings and value (Mari & Shvanyukova 2015;McCormick 2014;Salzbrunn 2014;Chacko 2013;Dotson-Renta 2012). To achieve this, cultural studies scholars have long highlighted the importance of foregrounding the perspectives of marginalized cultural producers, whose personal experiences facilitate the substitution of stereotypical portrayals by complex and individualizing ones (Hall 1996;Stam 2001).…”

The inclusion of non-Western artistic traditions in cultural policy: Contrasting social justice and public diplomacy approaches

On both sides of the Atlantic, the dissemination of non-Western artistic traditions among the general public has been hampered by the prevalence of Eurocentric aesthetic standards in cultural institutions and organizations. In recent years, however, some states have taken steps in order to increase the exposure of immigrant-origin artists in a variety of disciplines, including theatre, music, dance, literature, cinema and visual arts. This article offers a systematic comparison of two such initiatives that have been developed at the national level: the Equity Office of the Canada Council for the Arts and Spain’s network of cultural ‘Houses’ (Red de Casas). While the former was assigned a social justice mandate, the latter was created to further foreign policy goals through public diplomacy. These diverging approaches have created distinct funding opportunities, policy instruments and structural outcomes, with important implications for processes of artistic segregation and mainstreaming.
