Capitalization of socio-cultural space of Siberian regions: between deficiency and monopoly of environment
In 2010-2012 the Museum and Cultural Heritage education and research centre of Tomsk State University carries out a complex research project ''Cultural capital as a condition and a factor of innovative development of Siberian regions''. Studying the practice of regional government system conditions developed in branch industries practice was the main objective of research; the conditions capable to influence the increase and decrease of the value of the total of the resources in regional branches of culture, the fluctuation of level of their ability to represent themselves as a socially significant benefit. The main approaches to methodology of the research were chosen: 1. Theoretical modeling of socio-cultural space of a Siberian region in abstract measurement. Such modeling scheme should reveal the main interrelations in cultural resources sphere and processes of production of significant benefits. Within the specified model essential interactions of key actors of cultural production are described. 2. Empirical research of interaction of key actors of socio-cultural space in historical retrospective, studying of transformations in interrelations of cultural production in real practices. It is possible to reveal three long-term trends in the development of a "consumer" (stakeholder) link in socio-cultural space of Siberia, namely: - 1861-1917 - the era of formation of socio-cultural space of Siberia in its modern shape; - the Soviet period - 1917- end of the 1980s - the forced continuation of the process of strengthening of the position of state authorities in the system of interaction of stakeholders and a uniform state policy in the culture sphere; - these requirements in many respects formed the basis of the Post- Soviet trend in the system of stakeholder relationship in the sociocultural space of Siberian regions (the end of the 1980s - the present). The state refusing from creating a highly ideological society has intentionally limited its role and place in the developed system of cultural policy. There is a particular ''mega-trend'' in development of a stakeholder subsystem of the socio-cultural space of Siberia which is closely connected with the role of the state in the developing system of production of the cultural benefits. This "mega-trend" can be described as a search for the balance between the deficiency of the system of cultural production of the social and economic environment necessary for development (in all its components) and the monopoly of its environment by the leading stakeholder.
