How Arts Hybridise Efficiency: The case of Italian governmental agency

Seminar abstract

This presentation explores the hybridisation process of cultural and art activities in a governmental agency connoted by a business mind-set, based on efficiency and standardization logics.

Studies on hybridisation evidenced the need to deepen how far-distant logics are balanced overtime and how their combination is turned into a platform for creativity and innovation when the hybrid survives.

This seminar addresses  this long-term dynamic equilibrium by using the theoretical concept of liminal space and analysing the hybridisation process through a longitudinal single case study.

The concept and dimensions of the liminal space allowed to enhance previous knowledge of hybridisation by pointing out specific strategies of equilibrium constructed around a plastic label, here the mission of “Valorization of Cultural Heritage.
