  • [ザック・エフロンとヴァネッサ・アン・ハジェンズのロマンスの秘訣] 23歳の若さで真剣な交際をしているメリットは、セレブと付き合うことを目的にしているような女性が近寄ってこないこと、若い独り身の男性がはまりそうなパーティー三昧の日々などに気を取られることなく、仕事に集中できることだという。 [東京現代思想服「BALMUNG(バルムング)」] http://balmungtokyo.web.fc2.com/ Crossroads:文化芸術政策 予算拡充と劇場法制定を 芸団協が提言 芸団協が提言するのは、国家予算に占める文化関連予算の割合を、現在の0・11%から0・5%に高める▽劇場法(仮称)による芸術拠点の法的整備▽文化省の設置--などだ。 文化庁によると、今年度の文化関連予算は約1020億円。来年度予算には3・1%増の約1052億円を要求しているが、先進国の国家予算に占める割合を見ると、フランス0・86%、韓国0・79%、ドイツ0・39%(いずれも08年度)と、日本の数字は極端に低い。 もう一つの大きな柱が劇場法。実演芸術が上演可能な公立文化施設は、全国に2000以上。その「創造発信」の機能を高めるための助成を行い、都市部と地方の文化格差をなくすことなどを目指す。 劇作家で内閣官房参与の平田オリザは「日本は文化を保護はしてきたが、発展継承の責務を果たしてこなかった。緩慢なる文化破壊といえる。10年、20年後、日本人は何を誇りに生きていくのか、政府側の決断が迫られている」と訴える。<月末を除き毎週火曜日に掲載します>
