Reclaiming Public Culture as a Common Terrain of Action in the Public Interest

A Dialogue with Raluca Iacob

Abstract

The interview with Raluca Iacob, an expert in cultural policy, offers a reasoned perspective on the relation between the concepts of public culture and public interest that emphasises the societal value of culture and its struggles in the current paradigm change which focusses on the economic impact of culture as a measure of its value.
