Diagnóstico y propuestas sobre el modelo de competitividad de las actividades de los artesanos artistas falleros de Valencia..

The objectives of this study are to establish the socio-labor and production conditions for the development of the activity of the artisan fallero artists, as well as the conditions of the functioning of the "market" in which the production of the Artisan Guild of Fallero Artists of Valencia is exchanged and demanded. From the study of these conditions, a series of diagnoses are established that visualize what are the weaknesses and threats of the sector and what are the strengths and opportunities to take advantage of to improve the conditions of competitiveness and innovation in which the sector could grow.

Apart from the use of secondary sources in the cases that have been required, the main use of the information obtained will come from the elaboration of a previous survey.

Economia de la cultura

Rausell, Pau

Treballs de Comunicació [Societat Catalana de Comunicació]. No.22

This article summarizes the contributions from the area of studies referred to as the economy of culture, a sub-discipline of economics recognized by the Journal of Economic Literature, to research on social realities involving culture in the Valencia Country—a subject closely allied with communication. From this standpoint, the present article focuses on research of the mid-1990s coming from a) a strictly academic context, b) sector and territorial project plans in which culture is incorporated in a meaningful way, c) studies derived from an educational context aimed at culture management, d) from conferences or similar events. In conclusion, and granted the contradiction, it must be said...

In conclusion, and granted the contradiction, it must be said that the history of research in the economy of culture in the Valencia Country is very recent, despite the large public investment in cultural infrastructures, and is limited even at present to a small group of researchers mainly from the Universitat de Valencia.

Cultura en la Comunidad Valenciana

Rausell Köster, Pau

La Comunidad Valenciana en el siglo XXI. Estrategias de desarrollo económico.

En el ámbito de la planificación económica y territorial, cada vez se va generando mayor consenso alrededor de la afirmación de que la dimensión simbólica de un espacio es un factor relevante para determinar su competitividad. Los últimos y precisos estudios, dirigidos por el profesor Ezequiel Uriel (Uriel, E., 2007), muestran que en el conjunto de España y de acuerdo con las definiciones estándar de los sectores culturales, estos sectores suponen alrededor del 3% del PIB, lo que implica una posición muy próxima a otros grandes sectores económicos (-en el año 2004, 3,07 % de participación en el VAB del sector de actividades culturales, 3,85% del VAB de las actividades ligadas a la propiedad...

Museus i excel·lència a les ciutats.

Museos y ciudades. Nuevos escenarios para el desarrollo. XV congreso nacional de amigos de los museos.

Les Ciències Socials, fa ja algunes dècades, que ens venen anunciant un nou paradigma que articula les relacions socials i econòmiques de manera diferent a la que ho feien en el model del capitalisme convencional. Nombrosa literatura, des de Touraine i Bell o Toffler en la dècada dels seixanta i setanta fins a les aportacions més recents de Castells, o Rifkin constaten, entre moltes altres qüestions, la creixent importància de la “dimensió simbòlica” com a atribut dels béns, els territoris o dels propis grups humans.

Management of Cultural Organization: The Specific Case of Museums.

Rausell-Köster, Pau Asuaga, Carolina

Museums as an institution have been approached from various disciplines. Economics, or more precisely the Economy Applied to Culture, has made museums susceptible to study using the instruments of economic analysis, leading to the emergence of an area called the Economics of Museums. However, the Management Account has shown no greater interest in the Museum as a subject of study, even when the notion of museum as a guardian of public heritage passed to the conception of the museum as a business, with highly commercial products and with a focus more on the visitor than on collections. This article aims to present some peculiarities of museum management, especially those arising from the...

Museums as an institution have been approached from various disciplines. Economics, or more precisely the Economy Applied to Culture, has made museums susceptible to study using the instruments of economic analysis, leading to the emergence of an area called the Economics of Museums. However, the Management Account has shown no greater interest in the Museum as a subject of study, even when the notion of museum as a guardian of public heritage passed to the conception of the museum as a business, with highly commercial products and with a focus more on the visitor than on collections. This article aims to present some peculiarities of museum management, especially those arising from the definition of the museum mission and the conflict of interests surrounding the various agents involved, whether the state as a provider of funds, the community, the visitor, the directors, in addition to those contributing to the process of value creation in the art market such as artists, gallerists, collectors, critics, curators and other experts. It concludes that the design and implementation of management control tools, consistent with each institution and consolidating the different perspectives of all the actors involved, will provide the institution that creates it, a fundamental tool for monitoring its management and achieving its objectives.

Cultural sectors as a strategy for territorial development in the Valencian central regions.

ELS SECTORS CULTURALS COM ESTRATÈGIA DE DESENVOLUPAMENT TERRITORIAL A LES COMARQUES CENTRALS VALENCIANES1 ..

The uniqueness of this proposal lies in the resolute commitment on the part of those involved designers and authors of the project, Nestor Novell and Elisabeth Delios, that the cultural sectors and therefore culture could be relevant elements in the definition of a space. We firmly believe in this perspective and believe that, within the framework of the new globalised information society, cultural production and its distribution model are really key elements in defining levels of competitiveness and in the long-term sustainability of territorial spaces. If this is true for any space, it is even more true for the territory they call Central counties, since it is a space that until very...

The uniqueness of this proposal lies in the resolute commitment on the part of those involved designers and authors of the project, Nestor Novell and Elisabeth Delios, that the cultural sectors and therefore culture could be relevant elements in the definition of a space. We firmly believe in this perspective and believe that, within the framework of the new globalised information society, cultural production and its distribution model are really key elements in defining levels of competitiveness and in the long-term sustainability of territorial spaces. If this is true for any space, it is even more true for the territory they call Central counties, since it is a space that until very recently constituted no administrative unit, but which internalised some speech of cultural homogeneity and even enjoyed a certain legend – otherwise unobjective – of “power” in cultural production within the framework of the Valencian Community. Historical reasons, certain unique cultural experiences since the recovery of democracy there in the mid-1970s, and also the will of some cultural agents had inspired this contrasting speech. With this intentionality, our analysis links culture and territory into three main nodes: 1) culture as an element of territorial cohesion, 2) the relationship between culture, economic growth and employment, and 3) culture as a defining factor in the quality of life of its citizens

The uses of the Turia Garden

Rausell-Köster, Pau Sorribes Monrabal, Josep del Saz Salazar, Salvador

Los usos del Jardín del Turia.

Parks are all public spaces in the sense that they provide a place for anyone to use for rest, relaxation or recreational purposes in an environment of effective individual or collective interrelationship under conditions of certain security. (Low, Taplin, Scheld, 2005, pág 3). Open spaces and urban parks have become essential elements in the development of cities practically since the beginning of urban planning. The park thus becomes a wide-spectrum vaccine that prevents space from the stress of urban life, softens the aggressive asphalt and cement landscape and recycles, converts and purifies noise and gases from motorisation and pollution.

What can economics have to say about children's and young people's literature?

Rausell-Köster, Pau

Primeras Noticias De Literatura Infantil Y Juvenil.

This work aims to show what economics' possibilities are for interpreting the phenomenon of children's and children's literature. In this regard, we must talk about a double approximation: a) a more restricted view of the economy in which the characteristics of children's and young people's books as a product b) an approximation as a rational choice theory from which one can attempt to explain the decisions of creators, distributors and consumers of children's and youth literature. Finally, from this second perspective too, a vision is presented on policies for promoting reading. All in all, therefore, we call on the ability and the opportunity of the economy to analyse in greater depth all...

Finally, from this second perspective too, a vision is presented on policies for promoting reading. All in all, therefore, we call on the ability and the opportunity of the economy to analyse in greater depth all those social facts that relate to the practice and dissemination of culture in general, and to the analysis of children's and youth literature in particular.
