Looking at this stuff is all very well. Far more rewarding is a face-to-face conversation with the real person.
I'm available for interactive presentations at remarkably reasonable rates. Check out my seminar options.
Seeing as how my book The Fourth Pillar can now be downloaded for free from sites all over the internet, I figure I should offer the same service myself, so here it is.
Cultural Displays
To Speeches & Papers
To Other People's Work
When I toured NZ in 2005, I made a series of one page summaries / lists / charts to use as both aides-memoire and projected displays. Since then, I have used many of these sheets in the presentations I have given. I've found them helpful, and many attendees have asked for copies. So here they are.
They're listed below in an order that has a sort of narrative to it. Perhaps it's the chapters of the next book; more likely, they are simply indicators to my random mental associations. Whatever, you may find some of them useful.

Title |
Description |
|
Just two things |
|
|
All the 'new planning paradigms' implicitly recognise that we live in a fractured society. They seek to re-make essential connections |
|
|
It may be possible to imagine some underpinning values on which most of us might agree |
|
|
Culture as content, practice and results. Here is a way of envisaging culture that assists with integrating thought and action. |
|
|
The dynamic between imagination and reason. Cultural development can be viewed as dialectic: emerging from the interplay between two helical mindsets. Both are essential. Both need to be nurtured. |
|
|
Pillars of Sustainability is a limiting and misleading metaphor. Here are some alternatives. |
|
|
Our lives can be viewed as unfolding in four domains. It's possible that most of the big questions can be slotted in to this quaternity. |
|
|
Dividing things into four is a common human activity; here are some examples |
|
|
Looking sideways across the four dimensions: each impacts upon the others. Sorting these out raises key issues |
|
|
Seven reasons why it's useful to apply a cultural perspective to policy making and evaluation |
|
|
The twenty characteristics exhibited by a culturally vital society |
|
|
Four cons that are integral to cultural vitality |
|
|
Putting ideas into practice |
|
|
A notional structure for a local government cultural affairs branch showing all the activities for which such an integrated unit might be responsible |
|
|
The three key cultural issues to address: active participation, diverse authenticity and continuing engagement |
|
|
Assessing changes in cultural vitality |
|
|
Descriptions of cultural rights |
|
|
And why we need them |
|
|
A quartered square that demonstrates the different ways in which we engage in cultural production and reception |
|
|
Creative participation is the key to cultural vitality and the key to universal creative participation is access. I don't mean access to products and services (what could be called passive access) but access to the tools of production and the levers of power (that is, active access). |
|
|
These three concepts are constantly confused, concatenated and overlapped. Here is a way of meaningfully connecting them. |
|
|
The intrinsic value of art |
|
|
The instrumental value of art |
|
|
Why participatory arts are so important to the health of society |
|
|
In considering the application of public resources to artmaking, the four perspectives can be used to examine the potential public benefit |
|
|
Re-ordering traditional priorities to achieve engagement and sustainability |
|
|
A list of indicators, specifically focused on the arts, that one could imagine emerging from a process of 'community efforts to track progress towards a desired future'. |
|
|
Bureaucracies can't help themselves; history shows us that these systems inevitably exhibit a range of tendencies designed to make the world more manageable, more predictable, more secure, more measurable. Perfectly understandable, but not really conducive to discovery. For artmaking to flourish these tendencies need to be recognised and reined in. |
|
|
Cultural development within bureaucracies |
|
|
Approaches to surviving while making art: It's no easy thing having an artmaking predisposition. Obsessives find different ways of managing their gift / affliction. Here are some. |
