WHO WE ARE:
More than seven decades ago the Diputación Foral (Territorial Administration) of Navarre, in an Order signed on 21 August 1940, founded the Institución Príncipe de Viana as the Culture Council of Navarre, with three specific functions:
- Restoration, maintenance and custody of all the Artistic Heritage of the Kingdom.
- Research, study and promotion of its History, Law, Literature, Customs, Traditional Handicrafts.
- Dissemination of Culture through Publications, Libraries, Archives, Museums, Courses, Conference and Tourism.
The sections initially envisaged were Artistic Heritage, Publications and Popular Culture, and that of Museums, Archives, Libraries and Handicrafts. From that moment on, this department with competencies for culture has worked within a traditional vision of culture, incorporating cultural industries (mainly through the cinema and audiovisual sectors) on a scalable basis. Within the logical evolution of a Public Administration, the Department of Culture, Sport and Youth now includes cultural and creative industries in its organic structure, this being a sector that will receive considerable attention in the next few years.
In this new phase, certain features emerge within the framework of the concept of culture that covers cultural and creative industries:
- Across-the-board nature of cultural sectors, both traditional and industrial
- Importance of content that generates intellectual property: copyright and associated rights.
- New search for funding that generates co-responsibility and involvement of civil society in cultural sponsorship projects.
- Intersection between the economy, culture and law
- Incorporation of creativity as a core element of production and the search for artistic, cultural or heritage content.
- Goods, services and activities frequently protected by intellectual property: copyright and associated rights.
- Demand and behaviour of audiences, which is difficult to anticipate, and new forms of consumption of culture through the social networks.
