This article examines how cultural policy frames embody and shape inequalities in cultural participation within urban settings. It explores both historical and contemporary policy frames, scrutinizing various approaches to cultural democratization and intersectional equity. From this perspective, we study how the cultural policies advanced by the Barcelona City Council framed inequalities in urban cultural participation and access to culture. The research employs thematic analysis of Barcelona's cultural policy documents and relevant stakeholder interviews to evaluate these frames' problem definition, prognosis, and collective action components. On this basis, the article identifies three main policy frames: constitutive, participatory, and intersectional, which are contrasted with policies implemented in the city from 2019 to 2023, including both pre- and post-COVID-19. The results reveal that although the local administration's policy frame broadly aligns with strategies and narratives of multidimensional participation and pro-intersectional equity frames, it also embeds tensions within and between specific social stratification and constitutive components of cultural policy design.

文化政策中的社会地域不平等问题：通过巴塞罗那政策揭示政策框架（2019-2023 年）


本文探讨了文化政策框架如何体现和塑造城市环境中文化参与的不平等。它探讨了历史和当代政策框架，仔细研究了文化民主化和交叉公平的各种方法。从这个角度来看，我们研究了巴塞罗那市议会推动的文化政策如何构建城市文化参与和文化获取方面的不平等。该研究对巴塞罗那的文化政策文件和相关利益相关者访谈进行了主题分析，以评估这些框架的问题定义、预后和集体行动组成部分。在此基础上，本文确定了三个主要政策框架：构成性、参与性和交叉性，它们与 2019 年至 2023 年在该市实施的政策形成鲜明对比，包括 COVID-19 之前和之后的政策。结果表明，尽管地方政府的政策框架与多维参与和亲交叉公平框架的战略和叙述大致一致，但它也嵌入了特定社会分层和文化政策设计的构成组成部分内部和之间的紧张关系。
