•Lead Question Does the existence of global
cultures imply homogeneity in the tastes of publics located in different countries? What policies, if any, should government undertake in order to adjust, adapt, or resist the effects of global cultures?’ -- D. Crane (2002)

3 Kinds of Public Cultural Strategies
Strategy 1:
Preserving, protecting and developing national and local cultures
![Page 9: Cultural Strategies for Hong Kong: Reframing why policy matters through West Kowloon](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144e3550346895db1b34c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Preserving and developing local cultures
Strategy 1:
Regeneration of cultural resources in grassroot local cultures and non-mainstream urban neighborhoods, as a way of reacting to the currents of globalization.
![Page 10: Cultural Strategies for Hong Kong: Reframing why policy matters through West Kowloon](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144e3550346895db1b34c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Preserving and developing local cultures
E.g., Museum as cultural strategy:
can be developed as a repository of cultural heritage and cultural memory, hence a sustainable alternative and social partner to commercial culture.

![Page 15: Cultural Strategies for Hong Kong: Reframing why policy matters through West Kowloon](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144e3550346895db1b34c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Three Stages in the Development of Cultural
Policy• (1) ‘To bring arts to the people’ by over-coming social barrier.• (2) To question what counts as ‘art’/ ‘culture’; to explore community-oriented and multi-perspectival dimensions in it.• (3) To address issues of cultural diversity and identity by taking into account the changing terrain of popular taste and lifestyle.

Key Factors in Cultural Citizenship
To decentralize cultural policy is …
- to develop ways of consolidating local social memories in the cultural fabric of our society;
- to foster the development of more inclusive civic identities, and
- to introduce cosmopolitan definitions of urban civil life into our life-world.
![Page 19: Cultural Strategies for Hong Kong: Reframing why policy matters through West Kowloon](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144e3550346895db1b34c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cultural Policy as Cultural Citizenship
Stance 1:
Our ‘common culture’ concerns the ordinary ability of people to contribute, criticize and re-interpret aspects of their culture.
![Page 20: Cultural Strategies for Hong Kong: Reframing why policy matters through West Kowloon](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144e3550346895db1b34c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Cultural Policy as Cultural Citizenship
Stance 2:
This ‘culture in common’ will have to be formed as an instituted culture of dialogue and negotiation, rather than agreement.
![Page 21: Cultural Strategies for Hong Kong: Reframing why policy matters through West Kowloon](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144e3550346895db1b34c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cultural Policy as Cultural Citizenship
Stance 3:
- A culture held in shared ownership by the community should allow adequate participation by the public---in the process of developing the rich cultural meanings needed for any collective shaping or up-take of identities.
![Page 22: Cultural Strategies for Hong Kong: Reframing why policy matters through West Kowloon](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144e3550346895db1b34c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cultural and educational institutions should allow citizens to develop their own arguments and perspectives in this process; to transmit knowledge, skills and resources that facilitate such public cultural participation (e.g., access to a wide range of cultural repertories and ‘cultural literacies’, self-confidence and intellectual resources fo
r full cultural participation, etc…
![Page 23: Cultural Strategies for Hong Kong: Reframing why policy matters through West Kowloon](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144e3550346895db1b34c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cultural Policy as Cultural Citizenship
Cultural policy …
should secure the material and institutional means in sustaining such participation,
so as to promote a deep sense of citizenship across a broad cultural field of life we hold ‘in common’.

“I said, I see a … compassionate and democratic society … I see … affluent
and well-educated population, proud … I see Hong Kong, as a SAR of China, making significant contributions …
With such a high degree of autonomy, it is up to us to determine how well we perform and whether we can continue to progress in the 21st Century. Indeed, Hong Kong has achieved remarkable
success …”
