The problems of identity in the public cultural politics

Summary/Abstract: On the basis of direct and indirect distinction of public culture policy and refereeing to the discourses formulated by the Great Britain’s sociologist Jim McGuigan the article highlights the impact of neo-liberal globalization on culture policy. McGuigan distinguishes three forms (or just discourses) of discursive culture policy – state, market and civil/communicative discourse. These discourses are not exceptionally related with “culture” and link to each other in various ways. They obey to hegemonic “discursive formation” formed in history, for instance, today such a configuration is expressed by Neoliberal globalization. When talking about the means of cultural policy realization it is scarcely possible to equate Lithuanian quarrels in forthright terms to debates taking place between representatives of cultural Neoliberalism and supporters of cultural democracy in Anglo-Saxon studies of cultural policy. But attention can be paid to the opportunities provided by the three mentioned discourses or public cultural policy “regimes”. In discussions on policy of city culture today it is inevitable to accentuate certain contradictions between national cultural policy and urbanistic regeneration.
