The Panoptic Society: Privacy and Information Services in Canada
(1989) Jeannotte, M. Sharon
According to civil libertarians, Information technologies have provided the means of realizing :Jeremy' Bentham's intellectual vision of the Panopticon. They claim that we are now living in a society where massive amounts of information can be collected by government agencies and.commercial organizations, then stored, manipulated and used without the individual's knowledge or consent. Moreover, they contend that there are few, if any, avenues of recourse open to individuals who feel that their privacy has been abused through misuse of information in electronic form. This background paper traces the evolution of the privacy issue, reviews public and expert.opinion,on the subject.and examines some of the.major concerns about misuse of information services. It looks at the current state of privacy protection in Canada, with particular emphasis.on recent developments at.the federal level. It draws .some conclusions and suggests various options for action in Canada, including steps that the Department of Communications should take to address the privacy issue.

Counting on Culture: Impacts and Indicators
(2018) Ottawa Culture Research Group
Eleanora Belfiore, in an introduction to a recent book on cultural measurement, stated that cultural value and the challenge of its measurement were two major defining issues of cultural policy debates. In Canada, This challenge has been particularly significant for municipal governments, which must rely heavily on other levels of government for statistics and data to help them measure cultural value. This report examines four key types of cultural indicators for the City of Ottawa: support, presence, participation, and impact.
Counting Together - Ottawa's Collaborative Approach to Develoing Cultural Indicators
(2019) Jeannotte, M. Sharon; Carter, Diana; Dick, Ben
In Spring 2016, cultural planners at the City of Ottawa brought together a research group with members from several municipal service areas, the federal government, the cultural sector, community organizations, and academia. The Ottawa Culture Research Group (OCRG) came together as an informal network with the goal of developing a set of indicators that could be used to better understand the state of the city’s cultural sector and the effects of cultural policy.
La culture à Ottawa: Retombées et indicateurs
(2018) Le Groupe de recherche sur la culture d’Ottawa
Eleanora Belfiore, dans l’introduction d’un livre récemment paru, affirme que la valeur de la culture et le défi que représente sa mesure sont les deux points centraux des débats sur la politique à mener en matière de culture . Au Canada, ce défi est particulièrement important pour les administrations municipales, qui doivent se tourner vers les autres ordres de gouvernement pour obtenir les statistiques et les données leur permettant de déterminer la valeur de la culture. Il est question, dans ce rapport, de quatre grands types d’indicateurs pour la Ville d,Ottawa : le soutien, la présence, la participation et les retombées.
When Our Ship Comes In: The Cultural Impact of Cruise Tourism on Northern Canadian Communities
(2021) Jeannotte, M. Sharon
This chapter explores risks to environmental, economic, social, and cultural sustainability in Northern Canaidian communities, as well as the complicated relationship between creative practices, cultural tourism, Indigenous/ Inuit values and world views, and local planning practices in this part of Canada. It also discusses some of the ethical and practical implications of Inuit–cruise passenger interactions, and explores the adaptive capacities of these communities to cope with larger and more frequent cruise tourism incursions.
Immigrants and Cultural Citizenship: Rights, Responsibilities and Indicators
(2007) Stone, Marjorie; Destrempes, Hélêne; Foote, John; Jeannotte, M. Sharon
Cultural citizenship is a concept increasingly mobilized both in Canada and in other countries. Within the cultural policy circles of particular countries, it is often defined in terms of the nation-state, but outside of these it increasingly signifies complex, cosmopolitan forms of cultural identity shaped by diasporic and global networks. This paper explores how differing concepts of cultural citizenship play out in the policy contexts that govern the integration of newcomers to Canada. What role does cultural capital play in the creation of citizens? And how can we measure whether Canadian society is indeed encouraging cultural citizenship in its fullest sense?
Tango Romantica or liaisons dangereuses? Cultural policies and social cohesion: Perspectives from Canadian research
(1999) Jeannotte, M. Sharon
The title of this paper may be whimsical, but the topic is not. A major rethinking of the basis of cultural policy is taking place in many countries and multilateral organizations. This movement seeks to tie cultural policy and cultural policy research more closely to the cluster of public policy interests often subsumed within the term”social cohesion”. Canadians are also engaged in this re-examination process, but there are lingering doubts in the minds of some. Is this a ”dance with the devil” -- a ”liaison dangereuse” that will drive us into the arms of those who do not have the best interests of culture at heart? Or is it a ”tango romantica” a new and beautiful dance with a partner who understands and supports our artistic and creative impulses? This paper will explore these questions.

Millennium Dreams: Arts, Culture and Heritage in the Life of Communities
(2005) Jeannotte, M. Sharon
What kind of culture do citizens value? How do they assess what is a cultural activity and how does this activity fit within the everyday life of communities? To what extent is cultural capital linked with the social capital of the community? This study makes use of the Our Millennium database, which was a special initiative of the Community Foundations of Canada (CFC) to mark the new century, to try to answer these questions. In 1999 and 2000, the CFC invited Canadians to make lasting millennium “gifts” to their communities to make them a better place and to register these gifts on an on-line database. These gifts could be made under 11 self-selected theme areas. An assessment of the Our Millennium initiative by the Caledon Institute of Social Policy remarked upon the disproportionate number of projects that featured various aspects of arts, culture and heritage.This study delves more deeply into the Caledon Insitute’s conclusion and, using a social and cultural capital lens, explores why arts, cultural and heritage projects were so prominent among the millennium gifts registered on the Our Millennium database.
CREATIVE CITIES: THE ROLE OF CULTURE Presentation by Robert Palmer to the Department of Canadian Heritage
(2003) Jeannotte, M. Sharon; Williams, Maureen
Robert Palmer has worked with many European cities to develop cultural strategies and policies. In many cases, these have aimed to reposition the particular city both nationally and internationally as well as focusing on local and regional issues such as the development of cultural industries, cultural tourism, creativity and social inclusion. In his presentation to the Department of Canadian Heritage, Palmer addressed four topics: the historical background to current national cultural policy; the development of interest in holistic cultural planning; the international focus on creativity and creative development; and the trend of harnessing culture for economic development.
VILLES CRÉATIVES : LE RÔLE DE LA CULTURE Exposé de Robert Palmer à l’intention de PCH
(2003) Jeannotte, M. Sharon; Williams, Maureen
Robert Palmer a collaboré avec un grand nombre de villes européennes à la mise au point de politiques et de stratégies culturelles. Souvent, ces dernières visaient à repositionner la ville en question sur la scène nationale et internationale, en plus de traiter spécifiquement de divers enjeux locaux et régionaux tels que le développement des industries culturelles, le tourisme culturel, la créativité et l’inclusion sociale. Dans son exposé à l’intention du ministère du Patrimoine canadien, M. Palmer a abordé quatre sujets : l’historique de la politique culturelle nationale; l’accroissement de l’intérêt à l’égard de la planification culturelle globale; l’importance accordée sur la scène internationale à la créativité et au développement créatif; et la tendance à l’exploitation de la culture à des fins de développement économique.
The City as Conduit For Global Flows - Presentation at Global Cultural Flows Workshop
(2003) Jeannotte, M. Sharon
Within the world of current global cultural studies, Arjun Appadurai’s framework for the five dimensions of global cultural flows is particularly relevant to an examination of cities. Appadurai has characterized contemporary global cultural flows as having five dimensions: 1) Ethnoscapes - the “landscape of persons who constitute the shifting world in which we live: tourists, immigrants, refugees, exiles, guest workers and other moving groups and persons”; 2) Technoscapes - the “global configuration ... of technology, ... both high and low, both mechanical and informational, [that] now moves at high speeds across various kinds of previously impervious boundaries”; 3) Finanscapes - the disposition of global capital, which flows through the technoscape at the speed of light and in unimaginable volumes; 4) Mediascapes - the “distribution of the electronic capabilities to produce and disseminate information ... and ... the images of the world created by these media”; 5) Ideoscapes - the ideological landscape composed of political ideas, terms and images (both of states and movements opposed to states). Appadurai’s central thesis with regard to this framework is that global cultural flows occur at different speeds and often (though not always) through different channels. The disjuncture between these flows, in his view, is the dominant issue in the politics of global culture.
SE POINTER : Le capital social et le capital culturel dans la vie de tous les jours
(2004) Jeannotte, M. Sharon
Le présent document se veut une synthèse des connaissances actuelles sur le capital social et le capital culturel, ainsi que comment ils se rattachent à la citoyenneté culturelle. Il vise à cerner le rôle que ces catégories de capital jouent dans l’établissement de la citoyenneté culturelle, ainsi qu’à déterminer dans quelle mesure ce concept contribue à notre compréhension en ce qui concerne la formulation des politiques culturelles.
Fractured Discourse: A Report from the Second International Conference on Cultural Policy Research - "Cultural Sites, Cultural Theory, Cultural Policy"
(2002) Jeannotte, M. Sharon
The principal focus of many interventions was the “fracturing” of cultural policy discourse and research. In several cases, presenters stated quite bluntly that cultural policy had lost its way and had ceased to be a significant player in either culture or policy, at least at the national level.
DISCOURS FRACTURÉ : COMPTE RENDU DE LA DEUXIÈME CONFÉRENCE INTERNATIONALE SUR LA RECHERCHE EN MATIÈRE DE POLITIQUES CULTURELLES
(2002) Jeannotte, M. Sharon
Nombre des intervenants qui ont pris la parole ont surtout mis l’accent sur la question de la « fracture » du discours et de la recherche en matière de politiques culturelles. Certains n’ont pas mâché leurs mots et ont carrément dit qu’on ne savait plus très bien où on s’en allait avec la politique culturelle et que celle-ci ne jouait plus désormais de rôle important, à tout le moins au niveau national.
Singing Alone? The Contribution of Cultural Capital to Social Cohesion and Sustainable Communities
(2002) Jeannotte, M. Sharon
This paper will attempt to make a modest contribution to current debates about the role of culture in fostering cohesive and sustainable communities. It will begin by reviewing why culture is increasingly entering into the discourse on sustainability. It will then define and discuss various types of capital, and their contributions to personal and community well-being. The third section of the paper will briefly examine preliminary evidence in support of the collective benefits of investment in cultural capital. The final section will propose a possible model to explain the linkages between cultural and social capital, social cohesion and sustainable communities.

It was prepared in response to a CIRCLE Questionnaire on Volunteering prepared for Round Table on Culture, Civil Society and Volunteering Newcastle, United Kingdom, November 2-4, 2001.
Making it Real: Measures of Culture in Local Sustainability Planning and Imprlementation
(2015) Duxbury, Nancy; Jeannotte, M. Sharon
This chapter critically examines attempts to develop indicators for culture within a context of local sustainability in a cross-section of communities across Canada. We investigate the quality of local sustainability indicator efforts, the extent to which cultural indicators are included, and the approaches and pathways that are being forged to do so.
SYMBIOSE CULTURELLE : PARTICIPATION CULTURELLE ET COMMUNAUTÉS COHÉSIVES
(2000) Jeannotte, M. Sharon
Nous, au Canada, ne croyons pas qu’il soit possible de réduire la participation culturelle à la notion de « consommation » de produits culturels ou que le gouvernement fédéral doive se contenter d’intervenir en cas « d’échec du marché » à respecter la loi de l’offre et de la demande. Nous estimons que la participation à la culture produit également ce que les économistes appellent des « externalités positives », à savoir : • la confiance sociale et le capital social • une plus grande inclusivité et équité démocratique • l’innovation sociale et l’expérimentation de nouvelles ressources symboliques J’aimerais donc considérer la participation culturelle des Canadiens dans l’optique de ces externalités positives. Pour ce faire, je me laisserai guider par les questions suivantes : • Qui participe à la culture? • À quelles activités participent-ils? • Pourquoi y participent-ils? • Quels sont certains des résultats de cette participation?
