520 $a Using Bourdieu's concepts of symbolic violence and the State-as-meta-field, the subtle imposition of economic demands through funding applications is observed as a manipulation that allows governments to maintain the power of consecration granted by the accumulation of symbolic capital in society while simultaneously edging the performing arts slowly into the market economy. The dissertation analyzes ten years of granting documents from both the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. It explores how the gradual inclusion of business language in grant applications influences the organizational operation of large performing arts organizations. Interview data from members of government funding bodies, peer assessment jury members, and members of the Alberta Performing Arts Stabilization Fund help to understand how the government's demands are made and transferred first to arts funding bodies and then to the performing arts organizations themselves. The investigation then uses interview data from participating performing arts organization members in Calgary, Alberta to examine how the imposition of government-driven economic initiatives has complicated the organizational workplace interactions. The investigation reveals the struggle of organization members to achieve organizational balance between their bottom line and their artistic output.
