THE 'SECTOR'? OF CURRENT MUSICS From innovation to normalization... and back again?

This article reviews the inclusion of current musics into the scope of public policies on culture. The first part examines the relationship between the modalities of intervention in favour of these musics and the instruments of action usually deployed for live shows. Since the observed tendency is towards normalization, the second part suggests ways to revive the innovative strength of this sector, based on two of its characteristics: a democratic approach to cultural policies and the concern for cultural diversity.
