Jean Blaise and Jean Viard Propose a New Cultural Policy

Jean Blaise and Jean Viard have co-authored "Remettre le poireau à l'endroit" (Éditions de l'Aube), subtitled "Pour une autre politique culturelle." The book takes its title from a famous phrase by Friedrich Engels and proposes a reconfiguration of culture in public space. Published in artpress n°428, December 2015, p. 82, the work advocates for an alternative cultural policy. The authors draw on Engels' phrase to argue for a different modulation of cultural activities in the public sphere.
