Du capital culturel aux patrimoines culturels

Abstract: This article studies how economics takes into account the time dimension of cultural resources and products in the context of the economy of knowledge, where culture has an increasing economic importance. While BECKER (1964) conceives culture as a capital, other economists rather take a creativity approach and emphasize the creative properties of cultural capital. However, the assimilation of cultural resources to some kind of capital is problematic. This leads us to study the regulation of cultural resources on the basis of institutions through the application of the commons analysis to the cultural realm. However, this approach is insufficient to analyze some specific cultural resources that, instead of being simple aggregates of resources, have structural and temporal properties. The last section surveys several ways to overtake these limits through an approach in terms of heritage.
