본문내용

There are clear trends in many countries to instrumentalise culture as a means to social and economic benefits. Such a utilitarian view on culture spread to local governments. Accordingly, the Seoul City Government has allocated large part of its budget to viable projects like the Hi-Seoul Festivals while other vital parts of culture, such as libraries, concert halls, theatres, and museums, have suppressed. The Hi-Seoul Festival 2007 was developed by the Government as a product for boosting tourism. These big entertainment events have brought some points to consider for policy makers. As the Festival has treated as a test stand for the Mayor’s political pledge, the Government has put culture under strong influence of utilitarian concerns and it endangered the long lasting thought on intrinsic value of culture and also enlarged the belief that culture as a subordinate object or marketing tool for reinvigorating economy.
