Presentación: Lo que tiene que cambiar para que (casi) todo cambie

Abstract

After reviewing very briefly some of the numerous studies on the history of Spanish culture in the last four decades, noting the absence of global research to analyze the impact of proximity cultural policies, the article extends and previews the content of the monograph on Local Cultural Policies, while proposing priorities for a desirable future: defense of cultural capital against cultural capitalism, modesty in its enunciation and defense, incorporation of gender and otherness as core values of the strategies, links between culture and development, recovery of technological control and effective access rights.
