In this paper, we explore the relationship between different ways of getting engaged with cultural heritage and life satisfaction. Using data from a representative sample of the population of the 28 members of the European Union in 2017 collected in the Eurobarometer 88.1 (2017), we explore the relationship between use and non-use values and individual subjective well-being measured as life satisfaction. We present the results derived from the estimation of an ordered probit model where life satisfaction is a function of living near to heritage resources to represent non-use values, different ways of heritage participation (tangible, intangible, digital, and volunteering), and the usual explanatory variables that have been found to be predictors of life satisfaction. Our results indicate that the chances of being more satisfied with ones’ life increase with volunteering activities, with visits to heritage institutions, and with digital engagement. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the multifaceted values of heritage.

La producció científica en l’àmbit de l’edició i hàbits lectors a Catalunya ha seguit l’evolució positiva dels anys anteriors. A més de les estadístiques anuals elaborades directament o encarregades per les administracions públiques i agents rellevants del sector, cal destacar la producció de grups i centres de recerca a Catalunya. És especialment destacable el nombre de tesis que s’han llegit al llarg de 2018 en les universitats catalanes i que tenen com a objectiu l’anàlisi del sector editorial o dels hàbits lectors, especialment dels col·lectius d’infants i adolescents. Cal fer de nou esment de la importància que tenen aquests estudis en la presa de decisions informades tant per part dels agents públics com privats.

Cultural policies in Brazil have experienced both advances and setbacks in a predominantly undemocratic institutional environment. The fact that a large part of the population has been constantly deprived of their basic rights has undermined the monitoring and social control of public policies. Within this context, culture, seen historically as a luxury, has been considered relatively unimportant and the policy analyses dedicated to it have not kept pace with other areas such as education and health. Analyses of cultural policies invariably focus on certain sectors or instruments and are dispersed over different disciplines. In this article, we seek to provide an overview and assessment of post-military dictatorship cultural polices in Brazil. To do so, we use a holistic analytical framework in order to assess Brazilian cultural policies through five axes: institutional configuration, instruments of intervention, distribution of competences by levels of government, lobby capacity of actors and logics, and priorities, goals and values of cultural policies.

This chapter provides an overview of the primary sources of statistical information available on cultural participation as well as some research over the last two decades. We start by presenting alternative sources of information: official statistics provided by the Spanish National Statistics Office and by the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport (or by the former Ministry of Culture), and international, national public opinion surveys, and regional statistics. We proceed reviewing research using the aforementioned information. We also identify some areas that deserve future attention, and conclude with a discussion of comparative issues and policy recommendations.

El objetivo principal de este artículo es describir el perfil de las revistas científicas españolas. Los resultados que se presentan proceden de una encuesta a 1.280 revistas científicas españolas incluidas en la base de datos Dulcinea (edición 2012), obteniendo una tasa de respuesta del 43,8% (n=561). Como objetivos específicos, el estudio se planteó caracterizar las revistas científicas y analizar las peculiaridades de las mismas en torno a una serie de parámetros que conforman las dimensiones económico-financiera, estratégica y operativa de las revistas en el periodo observado. El análisis ha permitido observar cómo el modelo de financiación de las revistas científicas españolas se sostiene principalmente de las ayudas institucionales, cómo la mayoría de las revistas carece de una estructura organizativa estable y depende, en gran medida, del trabajo voluntario y cómo el debate sobre las limitaciones y dificultades que afectan al desarrollo del acceso abierto sigue vigente.

This article provides an analysis of Spanish journals’ business models. It presents an integrated approach to the concept of a business model, looking at (1) economics and finances, (2) operation, and (3) the strategic dimensions of the publishing activities. It is based on a cluster analysis of 327 journals that responded to a survey carried out between November 2012 and March 2013. Our findings revealed four business models that differed mostly in the economic and financial dimensions. The greatest difference between the clusters was in the distribution of expenses, and two different operational patterns were revealed by the allocation of staff and volunteer resources. The main barrier to open access was perceived to be financial limitations by three clusters and organizational structure by one cluster, with the subscription-based journals least likely to be open access or to be tempted to become open access.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse how public libraries have been conceptualized and measured in official Spanish statistics over the past 15 years. This allows us to reflect on the transformation of the very nature and aims of libraries during the first 15 years of the 21st century. We examine the main official statistical source of information on cultural participation, the Survey on Cultural Habits and Practices in Spain, and track the impact of social change and digitization on library services. By analysing the 2002–2003, 2006–2007, 2010–2011 and 2014–2015 surveys, we monitor changes in the questionnaires and in the derived indicators, and relate the findings to general trends and challenges for public libraries in contemporary societies.

Una encuesta realizada a 1.280 editores de revistas científicas españolas, que tuvo un 43% (n=561) de respuestas, ha permitido conocer sus experiencias con el acceso abierto. El análisis cuantitativo de los datos mostró que el 72% (n=404) de los encuestados tenía experiencia con el acceso abierto o estaba inmerso en el proceso de conversión. De éstos, alrededor del 80% valoró su experiencia en términos positivos o muy positivos. Entre las dificultades más frecuentes ligadas a la adopción del acceso abierto en sus revistas destacan las limitaciones financieras y las relacionadas con la estructura organizativa.

It is well known that young people are major consumers of screen media and that their peers are one of the principal determinants of youth behavior as regards their patterns of consumption and other activities. On the basis of these premises, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of classroom peers on youth screen media consumption. More specifically, it considers the time spent watching TV, playing console games and surfing the Internet. Data are drawn from a single representative survey of secondary school students aged 14–16 in Catalonia (Spain) in 2008. Having accounted for problems of endogeneity, our analysis shows that peer consumption has a positive and statistically significant effect on an individual’s console and Internet use. While the magnitude of this effect is not great in the case of the former use, peer effects are quite marked in that of Internet consumption. Moreover, gender differences are observed when media consumption is examined separately. Thus, peer effects on console use are statistically significant only for boys, while the influence of peers on an individual’s Internet use is higher among boys than it is among girls.

This article looks at the general trends regarding identity in Catalan cultural policy. National identity is not a new issue in Catalonia, since language and culture have been key factors in constructing the Catalan nation throughout its history. Nevertheless, the increasing flow of immigrants from other countries, particularly since 2000, has resulted in a strengthening of identity issues. The article examines how this social change has affected the definition of cultural policies and describes the measures implemented by the Catalan government. We conclude that considerable progress has been made in terms of the promotion of national identity through cultural policies, although some questions remain regarding the social use of the Catalan language and the consumption of cultural products in Catalan.
