프랑스 메세나 연구 - 문화 메세나의 정책적 구조 변화를 중심으로

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the historical development and contemporary practices of French Mecenat policy to derive implications for the development of Mecenat culture in Korea. France plays a leading role in Mecenat culture, having established an exemplary system of cultural and artistic supporting through cooperation between the government and the private sector. French Mecenat policy, which began with discussions on the concept and structure of Mecenat before 2003, saw substantial development and expansion following the enactment of the 'Aillagon Law' in 2003. In this process, the government's policy changed to ensure that the private sector participates in Mecenat for the common good rather than monopolizing culture. In 2017, under the Macron administration, a system for managing and controlling Mecenat was developed, along with a Mecenat cooperation network between central and local governments. Consequently, the Mecenat policy became more systematic and acquired a more solid structure. This change in Mecenat policy signifies the French government's approach and policy philosophy toward culture and arts. To cultivate and perpetuate the culture of Mecenat, France's Mecenat policy serves as an exemplary model that the cultural administration and arts community in our country should take into account. Furthermore, the evolution of French cultural policy, which modifies its strategic outline under a common theme rather than changing entirely with each administration, offers significant insights for Korean society.
