Editorial Introduction to Issue 51: Democratising Cultural Heritage

editor — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 23:00:00 +0000

Richard Waller introduces Ariadne 51.

Having emerged from the political arguments of the 1990s about what culture could be funded and whether it was better to fund soccer or opera, we have moved into an age where, in the UK at least, there are arguments as to what actually constitutes British culture. Fortunately more people are deciding to do culture for themselves than remain passive witnesses to the pundits' debate. The place where they are doing it is online and they are not waiting to see whether their offering attracts the experts' approval - and sometimes, admittedly, one might argue more's the pity.

Editorial Introduction to Issue 44: One Day We All Learn the Hard Way

editor — Fri, 29 Jul 2005 23:00:00 +0000

Richard Waller introduces Ariadne issue 44.

Having opined elsewhere in this august organ that it would not be my policy to produce themed issues, I suppose I had better put my hand up at least to accumulating a majority of main articles which address the theme of accessibility from various and interesting perspectives. Having argued on the grounds that Ariadne issues which concentrate unduly on one topic inevitably leave a lot of readers feeling excluded, I can see that that the majority of readers who do not live with significant visual, physical or other impairments will feel hurt and almost certainly betrayed.
