Just as importantly, the book situates cultural democracy within the wider framework of progressive political and social movements, and of the impact of new digital information and communication technologies. To those unfamiliar with the term, it introduces cultural democracy through related concepts such as digital cultural politics, participatory democracy, and digital citizenship. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProviding a much-needed theoretical take on the growing interest in cultural democracy, this book will be essential reading for students and scholars interested in the arts as well as practitioners and policy makers. It combines theory and practice with a view to inciting both thought and action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Owen Kelly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103205784X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032057842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Owen Kelly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138582540543,"sku":"9781032057842","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57db6dfc-fca9-45df-88b2-6cb36076641f.jpg?v=1687900438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cultural-democracy-now-owen-kelly-9781032057842","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
