DOSSIER : la culture en panne de sens ?

Des fossoyeurs plus ou moins bien intentionnés le proclament sur tous les tons : la politique culturelle française est arrivée en fin de cycle. Les artistes ne savent plus guère quelle place leur réserverait une société qui serait tout entière soumise au règne de la performance et du résultat – alors même que les inégalités sociales et culturelles se creusent. Autant dire que, si les années Sarkozy vont marquer une sérieuse panne budgétaire dans la culture, celle-ci est traversée, en son sein même, par une crise du sens que les gesticulations pseudo consultatives du ministère de la Culture seront loin de suffire à résoudre.
