| Popis | This paper examines how an argument of “quality of life” is reflected in cultural policy concerning theatres and consequently in theatre legislation. It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the growing importance of cultural and creative industries to the world economy. Therefore, in recent years, there has been an increasing interest in cultural policy and its social, economic and legal effects. Based on studies of Florida (2002), the aim is to identify intersections between “quality of life”, positive theatre legislation and current macro-trends in cultural policies. Even the EU stresses the importance of state cultural function (Sassatelli, 2002) and proclaims its essential role in constituting coherent European community. Furthermore, creative and cultural industries gain crucial importance in global economy as a highly perspective field (with long-term social impact). It is argued (Nekolný, 2006) that nowadays social role of culture including strengthening social coherence is emphasized. Comparative analysis of theatre policies and legislation of several European countries is used as primary research method and also national, European and international legislation is analysed. This paper shows that nowadays, the argument concerning the “quality of life” is present and it influences the theatre policies and theatre legislation - the same applies in general to European cultural policy - in order to achieve harmony of “unity in diversity“. |
