The Ministry of Culture (French: Ministère de la Culture) is the ministry of the Government of France in charge of national museums and the monuments historiques. Its goal is to maintain the French identity through the promotion and protection of the arts (visual, plastic, theatrical, musical, dance, architectural, literary, televisual and cinematographic) on national soil and abroad. Its budget is mainly dedicated to the management of the Archives Nationales (six national sites and hundred decentralised storage facilities) and the regional Maisons de la culture (culture centres).


Its main office is in the Palais-Royal in the 1st arrondissement of Paris on the Rue de Valois.[1][2] It is headed by the Minister of Culture, a cabinet member. The current position holder is Franck Riester, since 16 October 2018.[3]

History




One of France's six National Archives sites operated by the Ministry of Culture, in Pierrefitte-sur-Seine


Deriving from the Italian and Burgundian courts of the Renaissance, the notion that the state had a key role to play in the sponsoring of artistic production and that the arts were linked to national prestige was found in France from at least the 16th century on. During the pre-revolutionary period, these ideas are apparent in such things as the creation of the Académie française, the Académie de peinture et de sculpture and other state-sponsored institutions of artistic production, and through the cultural policies of Louis XIV's minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert.


The modern post of Minister of Culture was created by Charles de Gaulle in 1959 and the first Minister was the writer André Malraux. Malraux was responsible for realizing the goals of the droit à la culture ("right to culture"), an idea which had been incorporated in the Constitution of France and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), by democratising access to culture, while also achieving the Gaullist aim of elevating the "grandeur" ("greatness") of post-war France. To this end, he created numerous regional cultural centres throughout France and actively sponsored the arts. Malraux's artistic tastes included the modern arts and the avant-garde, but on the whole he remained conservative.


Under president François Mitterrand the Minister of Culture was Jack Lang who showed himself to be far more open to popular cultural production, including jazz, rock and roll, rap music, graffiti art ("tagging"), cartoons, comic books, fashion and food. His famous phrase "économie et culture, même combat" ("economy and culture: it's the same fight") is representative of his commitment to cultural democracy and to active national sponsorship and participation in cultural production. In addition to the creation of the Fête de la Musique and overseeing the French Revolution bicentennial (1989), he was in charge of the massive architectural program of the François Mitterrand years (the so-called Grands travaux or "Great Works") that gave permission for the building of the Bibliothèque nationale, the new Louvre, the Arab World Institute, the Musée d'Orsay, the Opéra-Bastille, the "Grande Arche" of La Défense (the Parisian business quarter), the new seat of the French Ministry for the Economy and Finance, the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre, and the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie and Cité de la Musique, both in the Parc de la Villette.


The Ministry of Jacques Toubon was notable for a number of laws (the "Toubon Laws") enacted for the preservation of the French language, both in advertisements (all ads must include a French translation of foreign words) and on the radio (35% of songs on French radio stations must be in French), ostensibly in reaction to the presence of English.

Names of the Ministry of Culture


Since the French constitution does not identify specific ministers (merely speaking of "the minister in charge of" this or that), each government may label each ministry as they wish, or even have a broader ministry in charge of several governmental sectors. Hence, the ministry has gone through a number of different names:











Organisation



Central administration


The Ministry of Culture is made up of a variety of internal divisions, including:




  • Direction de l'administration générale (DAG)


  • Direction de l'architecture et du patrimoine (DAPA) - in charge of national monuments and heritage

    • Inventaire général du patrimoine culturel - maintains extensive databases of historical sites and objects. See Base Mérimée, Base Palissy and Monument historique.



  • Direction des archives de France (DAF) - in charge of the National Archives


  • Direction du livre et de la lecture (DLL) - in charge of French literature and the book trade


  • Direction de la musique, de la danse, du théâtre et des spectacles (DMDTS) - in charge of music, dance and theater


  • Direction des Musées de France (DMF) - in charge of the National museums


The Ministry has access to one inter-ministerial division:



  • Direction du développement des médias (DDM) in charge of developing and expanding the French media (although French public television is run through the public-service company France Télévisions)

The Ministry also runs three "delegations" (administrative boards):




  • Délégation aux arts plastiques (DAP) - in charge of the visual and sculptural arts


  • Délégation au développement et aux affaires internationales (DDAI) - in charge of international affairs and French art


  • Délégation générale à la langue française et aux langues de France (DGLFLF) - in charge of the French language and languages of France


Finally, the Ministry shares in the management of the National Centre of Cinema (Centre national de la cinématographie), a public institution (go to their link here).


The Alliance française is run by the Minister of Foreign Affairs (France).


For more on the organization of the Ministry, see Ministry of Culture.



Other services


On the national level, the Ministry also runs:




  • Regional Cultural Affairs (Direction régionale des affaires culturelles - DRAC)


  • Departmental Architecture and Monuments (Services départementaux de l'architecture et du patrimoine - SDAP)


  • Departmental Archives under the direction of the departmental councils


  • Centre National de la Danse, institution for the study and preservation of dance[4]

It succeeded the Resettlement Administration (1935–1937). [1] The FSA stressed "rural rehabilitation" efforts to improve the lifestyle of sharecroppers, tenants, very poor landowning farmers, and a program to purchase submarginal land owned by poor farmers and resettle them in group farms on land more suitable for efficient farming. Critics, including the Farm Bureau, strongly opposed the FSA as an experiment in collectivizing agriculture—that is, in bringing
