主題論壇 – THEMATIC SESSION
Global Perspectives on Cultural Co-governance: How the Public Activates and Participates in the 2017 National Cultural Congress in Taiwan
Panelists: Jerry Liu, President, Taiwan Association of Cultural Policy Study, Pao-ning Yin, Associate Professor, National Taiwan University of Arts, Shu-Shiun Ku, CEO, National Taiwan University of Arts, Debbie Chieh-Yu Li, Deputy Secretary General, Taiwan Association of Cultural Policy Studies (TACPS), Yu lin Chien, Student, National Taiwan University of Arts, and Jane Jia-Zhen Kang, Project Manager, Taiwan Association of Cultural Policy Studies (TACPS).
Discussants: Marcin Poprawski, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan – Institute of Cultural Studies, and Elena Borin, Burgundy School of Business – Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté.
The five speakers will present the project through varied perspectives. The project coordinator and TACPS secretary give the context of the Congress, and co-governing relations between the Ministry of Culture and the third sector. The Congress CEO briefs on the operating mechanism, agenda setting, personnel and funding of the project. The Design Manager addresses on the set up of interactive website, online broadcasting, facebook communities. While the Congress consultant introduces the consulting processes between the civil society and government.
Researchers and cultural practitioners in NTUA and TACPS are co-organizing the 2017 National Cultural Congress with the Ministry of Culture in Taiwan. For 2017, we hold 13 regional cultural forums (including a National Cultural Forum of Youth), 10 public hearings for cultural basic law between March to June around Taiwan cities. They then lead to the National Cultural Congress for 2 days in Sep. The Congress, which has its immediate predecessor only 15 years ago, is made possible under the pressures and long efforts of the cultural public sphere in Taiwan between 2011-2016 [noticeably the Sunflower Movement].
The public is playing an active and vital role in cultural governing process, in respect of activating the process, agenda setting, issue selecting and participation etc. This is a significant bottom-up approach. And it is an experimental case, as that is for the first time Ministry of Culture in Taiwan [arguably Asia?] has commissioned the Cultural Congress, White Paper, and legislation to a cultural NPO and academics. This allows us to test the possibility, potentials and limits of the co-governance between state, academics and the third sector through practices. It is a quite rare experience and case of cultural democracy in Asia.
