Abstract
Increasing pressure is being brought to bear in the cultural policy field by economic considerations. This paper places this pressure in the context of the development of Australian cultural policy. It examines the progressive shift towards the commodificiation of culture within the national and global market economy, drawing examples from the field of popular music. It uses articulation theory to link culture, economy and policy, proposing the Cultural Policy Formulation model as a vehicle for analysing the contending forces of exchange value and use value. The suggestion is made that further research of the cultural commodity form in the market economy could usefully extend the discussion about cultural policy.
