The social role of artists in Post-Soviet Moldova: Cultural policy, Europeanisation, and the state

Europe-Asia Studies, 2007, vol. 59, issue 8, 1405-1427

Abstract: This article analyses documents and debates produced by the Council of Europe's review of cultural policy in Moldova. Whereas the Council of Europe encourages Moldova's cultural institutions, administrators, and artists to actively participate in building a democratic, capitalistic, and multiethnic society, these same individuals define their own professional activities as anti-political and anti-economic. The topics broached and avoided in Moldova's cultural policy review thus direct attention to the problems involved in rebuilding states in post-socialist societies, as artists seek to distance themselves from the motivations of policy-making in the socialist past.
