  2. Topics to discuss • The bidconcept of Pécs fromthepoint of viewoftheheritage and innovationdichotomy • Rediscoveringurbanity – preservation and development – somegoodexamples • Obstaclesviapoliticaltraditions – politicalculture and thedesirefor a newculture of co-operation – somebasicfailures – baseduponthecurrentresearch project fundedby OTKA (HungarianScientific Research Fund), runbytheDept. of Political Studies, University of Pécs • The potentialheritage of ECoC Pécs2010

  3. Pécs and itscity-region

  4. „Five” • City of Five Churches (Fünfkirchen, Quinqueecclesiae) • Five historic temporal layers • Five pillars of the bid • Five key development projects  Zsolnay Cultural Quarter, Kodály Concert Hall, Regional Library, Revival of public squares and parks, Grand exhibition hall • Five years incl. preparatory years and 2010

  5. Cella Septichora

  6. Revival of publicspaces

  7. New culturalcontent – newnarratives Dóra Palatinus – Zoltán Makra: „37 m2” – 2010 financed partially by Aix-en-Provence Foundation (P. Vasarely)

  8. New culturalcontent – newnarratives Sipőcz Pharmacy turned into ‘House of local products’ – 2010 Member of the Cultural Industry Cluster (KIKK)

  9. The importance of newnarratives • Narrative: connectsthroughtime Zsolnay’smotto: ”Wherethepastpresentsthefuture” • Basedupondialogue – notonlypoliticaldiscussion, butamongallactors, betweenallactors • Baseduponcommondebates, a jointefforttothinkaboutpast, present and thefuture • Anycarefulplanning must be baseduponthis • …butthis (pre-)supposes (some) co-operation • Manyinterpretations of culture  + politicalculture, thecultureofdialogue/discussion/debate  a culture of co-operation

  10. ECoC Pécs2010 • Opportunity and potential • Opportunities lost: cultural decentralisation as a concept, making citizens feel they can make it happen, allowing long-term co-operation to get developed/strenghtened, new type of cultural consumption to get launched, new forms of regional/international presence (co-operation), new culture of co-operation to get laid down… • Opportunity gained: new infrastructure, new physical setting, but with debts and no real vision for utilisation, management…

  11. These will all stay

  12. The heritage of Pécs2010 • People rapidly forgetting about it (surveys) and not being aware what really has happened (apart from the insfrastructure) • The planned ‘cultural paradigm shift’ has not even been launched • On the cultural map of Europe? • (Again) a typical example how such a complex, multi-sectoral, multi-player project (cause) cannot work in the country…? • All because Pécs has been ‘entrapped in multi-level governance’?  more to come out of a 4-year research project run by the Dept. of Political Studies, University of Pécs (OTKA K 81571 project)
