Management of Cultural-Artistic Processes: Power Relations and Diversity of Roles in the School of Arts at UEES

This article is a study of management in cultural-artistic processes could serve as a future model of management within the social fabric. Not only does it encompass administrative and managerial aspects, but also includes projects that lead society successfully towards social development, within a set of rules that should not have a sanctioning character, but a stimulus that encourages creation and/or action. I have taken as a unit of analysis the School of Arts at the university Universidad de Especialidades Espíritu Santo (UEES). I intended to do my research under a qualitative approach, with the intention of understanding the influence exerted by power relations and the implication of the diversity of roles that may emerge during the processes.

Background Management in cultural-artistic processes could serve as a future model of management within the social fabric. Not only does it encompass administrative and managerial aspects, but also includes projects that lead society successfully towards social development, within a set of rules that should not have a sanctioning character, but a stimulus that encourages creation and/or action. It is commendable to remember that within the management of cultural-artistic processes resistance generates at different points, and it is necessary to know how to recognize it. There is a direct relationship between action and reaction. That is why greater change, greater transformation and innovation, generates greater resistance. On the other hand, less innovation, less change, and less creativity generates less resistance which leads to a regression and decline, although the cultural artistic processes function properly. It is in these points where hidden power relations that remained unknown, emerge. These power relations play an important role within organizations, educational units, and institutions because they can influence directly or indirectly. A diversity of roles can arise that many times a subject can assume or not, and that depends on organizations, educational units or institutions achieving an efficient development geared towards a better future.It's on this premise that I intend to frame the influence of power relations on management in cultural-artistic processes within an organization of artistic education.
