WHEN ARTS MET MARKETING

This article argues that arts marketing theory is embedded in the existing context of the nonprofit arts sector – that is, Romantic belief in the universal value of the arts and producer authority over the consumer. As “a set of techniques” and “a decision‐making process”, marketing was able to sit comfortably in the nonprofit arts context during the 1970s and 1980s. However, recent recognition of marketing as “a management philosophy” has brought out incompatibilities between the customer orientation of the marketing notion and the Romantic view of artistic production. This article demonstrates that arts marketing writings embrace Romanticism through the following: generic marketing concept; relationship marketing approach; extended definition of the customer; extended definition of the product; and reduction of marketing to function. Such findings suggest that persistence of the existing belief system and the embeddedness of the market be considered when marketisation in the arts sector is analysed.

MORE THAN MEETS THE FACT: THE UNIVERSALITY OF HISTORY AND THE COLONIAL MEDIATION

This article examines how mediation is not just limited to the format that's selected to convey the findings of previously conducted research that supposedly followed the conventional protocols of the historical discipline. Rather, it considers mediation as a fundamental part of building historical knowledge, for it assumes that every part of the historiographical operation can be defined as “mediation.” Specifically, it deals with colonial historical mediation, a concept that refers to the combination of an overt or concealed agenda, intentional or unnoticed bias, commonsense assumptions, inherited academic and political traditions, conceptual constellations, and more or less informed theoretical beliefs that configure the subtext upon which historical explanation is built, particularly in Latin America.     

爱鸟,不只在春暖花开时

"花开红树乱莺啼,草长平湖白鹭飞",当鸟儿携着暖风从南向北一路飞来,我们这些爱鸟人也跟着蠢蠢欲动起来,赶紧扛起"长枪短炮"去"打鸟"。在那些连着你和我的湿地里,"打鸟",别去打鸟,用镜头去追随那些美丽的身影。旅游观鸟是很多鸟类爱好者乐此不疲的事情。去一个地方旅游,再拍下那里特有的鸟类,常常会成为爱鸟人津津乐道的回忆。拍鸟去,哪里才是"鸟儿的天堂"?在我国各省4～5月的"爱鸟周"期间,让我们一起投去关注的目光。与爱鸟相关,湿地生态环境保护也应该得到每一个爱鸟人的重视。正如今年的世界湿地主题所言:"从上游到下游,湿地连着你和我(Upstream-Downstream:Wetlands connect us all)",我和你,他和她,在关注鸟儿的同时,更应去关注湿地保护。

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE: NEW RECORDINGS OF MEGALITHIC ART IN NORTH‐WEST IRELAND

In this paper new and previously known passage tomb art in north‐west Ireland is recorded using an innovative recording technique. The use of this method, which involves vector drawing from digital photographs taken with oblique lighting (VeDPOL), has clarified and increased the instances of megalithic carving in the north‐west of Ireland. At two monuments – Listoghil and Heapstown Cairn – the new recordings have allowed us to contextualize the art within the broader corpus of passage tomb motifs. Additionally, it is proposed that one of the carvings from Listoghil is of later prehistoric origin and not Neolithic as previously believed. Finally, and most importantly, this paper highlights a group of motifs recently found at Cairn B in the Carrowkeel‐Keashcorran complex. This discovery demonstrates for the first time that megalithic art was a feature of all four major passage tomb complexes in Ireland.
