This paper describes how colonial concepts, perceptions and stereotypes still influence arts and culture as well as research and education in these fields.
Arts Management Quarterly
Arts Management Quarterly No 135: Postcolonial Cultural ManagementThe idea that colonial thinking – coloniality – stopped with the end of colonialism is too short-sighted. It leaves out the extensive consequences of colonialism, the underlying concepts, stereotypes and power imbalances that continue until today. Even in countries that had no colonies or only for a short period of time, or where colonialists never left and the natives stayed surpressed, such problems remain. These after-effects are the subject of the Postcolonial Studies. Their theories and critical thinking form an essential part of Cultural Studies and vice versa. But postcolonial approaches and the inequalities in the international cultural sector only start to be recognized in arts and cultural management – the topic of this issue. Its guest editors Prof. Dr. Raphaela Henze and Prof Dr. Verena Teissl have been integrating these concepts into teaching and research for many years. The editorial team thus consisted of three white Central European women who engage with postcolonialism and, as a result, try to question their own privileged position and way of thinking, as well as to emphasize the potential of postcolonialism for arts and culture. Cultural management as a subject and cultural institutions as knowledge mediators and systems of representation increasingly deal with and shape internationalization, but are often based on biased, judgmental normative concepts of art and culture and their management. These concepts are by no means universal, but follow and impose narrow Western understandings, which hinder a reappraisal of „negative memory” and discriminate and marginalize artists and cultural professionals from former colonized countries. And they disturb and irritate the social roles of art and culture. To question where and how postcolonial thinking challenges cultural institutions and cultural management, and which prerequisites, examples, and contexts can be recorded and de-colonized, is the motivation and offer of this issue.

Postcolonial Mediations Postcolonial thinking has challenged the stability of discourses on culture, globalisation, economics, human rights and politics. Postcolonial thinking, as a form of mediation and displacement of worldviews, triggered a re-evaluation of the complex connections between culture, class, economy, gender and sexuality. This conference aims to engage with such postcolonial displacements.

Societies worldwide are currently facing far-reaching and often challenging developments. And although every country’s arts sector has its peculiarities, these developments influence most countries and thereby their art sector as well. So, what can arts managers do to make the best of new circumstances and to help the societies we live in handle them? How can we use the arts' inherent creative potential to anticipate the changes that will come? What competencies and knowledge will we need in the future to fulfill our tasks? Often, the most successful organisations are not the ones with the biggest budget, but the ones that react early to changes, see them as opportunities instead of threats and try to find creative solutions that fit their individual situation, special needs and local characteristics. The approaches in this issue of Arts Management Quarterly thus deal with novel, problem-solving oriented perspectives, organizational performances, or trends like new forms of participation and cooperation. All together, they draw a picture of the palpable role that art and arts leaders can play for the world’s societies and in the future.

Analysis of Postcolonialism Literature: A Bibliometric Study from 1900 to 20172019 •
This study intends to exhibit a bibliometric analysis of the literature published in the area of postcolonialism genre of literary theory to measure the standing and influence of the published research in the field of postcolonialism. The data of published documents from 1900 to 2017, related to the field of postcolonialism, was extracted from the database of ISI Web of Science. A total of 1404 documents were found and were analyzed to comprehend the extent of research and annual productivity of postcolonialism literature. Quantitative analysis of the published documents was carried out based on the data collected related to yearly citations, most prolific authors, eminent journals of the subject, most cited articles, the contribution of the countries, and the productivity of institutes. The findings founded on the document types (i.e. proceeding papers, book reviews, editorial materials, articles and reviews). The main findings extracted from the data were: 2016 was the most productive year in terms of publications Mushtaq,H. et.al. 206 in the field of post-colonialism, the number of citations increased rapidly in 2007 and kept on rising in the later years. "Journal of Postcolonial Writing" was found to be the top sources of the titles on post-colonialism. The result showed that the National University of Singapore secured the first position for being the most productive institute in the field. The most prolific author was Sidway J.D. Considering the types of documents, it was found that the most cited documents were from research articles. The study will be of value and interest to the researchers in the field of literary theory and would help conduct bibliometric research studies in various areas of literature. The current research was the first of its kind that studied postcolonialism research output from 1900 to 2017.

Globalisation heavily affects the daily work of arts managers around the globe in both positive and negative ways. On the one hand, intercultural understanding sometimes seems to be very difficult at the moment and some voices are still absent. But on the other hand, new narratives enter the stage that can help arts managers to meet current challenges and their supra-regional impacts. This issue of Arts Management Quarterly raises the curtain for these narratives. It is the result of a stimulating cooperation with the network Brokering Intercultural Exchange. The articles present the networks insights into the barriers for intercultural understanding and collaboration among arts managers and illustrates their role as intercultural brokers. We hope that they will inspire new open and fruitful discussions and cooperation and help you to create your own narratives for more equality in international arts management.
