Kronikk i Morgenbladet 11. september 2009
A long list exists of small and large projects involving Norwegian exhibitions, cooperation and interaction with cultural circles in other countries. 
Rekken er lang av små og store prosjekter med norske framvisninger, samarbeid og samspill med miljøer i andre land.
The high season for music festivals has just ended. 
Høysesongen for musikkfestivaler er nettopp over.
During July I even managed to hold my own ‘festival’ when I hosted one of Swedish Radio’s long-established Sommar programmes presenting music and opinions. 
I juli fikk jeg holde min egen «festival» som vert for et av Sveriges Radios tradisjonsrike «Sommar»-programmer med musikk og meninger.
So, what is a foreign minister doing getting involved in such events? 
Hva har så utenriksministeren med slikt å gjøre?
I like being asked this question just as much as being asked why I spend time writing and reviewing books. 
Det er et spørsmål jeg liker å få, på linje med spørsmålet om hvorfor jeg bruker tid til å skrive og anmelde bøker.
My reply is simple: becoming involved in cultural matters and other basic matters that give life a meaning is the very purpose of politics, or a result of politics. 
Svaret er enkelt: Dette er jo selve formålet med politikk, eller et resultat av politikken, at vi kan oppta oss med kultur og annet grunnleggende som gir livet mening.
It has been said that the purpose of foreign policy is to render domestic politics possible. 
Det sies at utenrikspolitikkens mål er å gjøre innenrikspolitikken mulig.
Stated more directly: ensuring the framework for culture and those values that give direction to life. 
Eller sagt direkte: Å sikre rammer for kultur og verdier som gir livet retning.
Norway enjoys a sufficient level of security that allows festivals to be arranged and enjoyed, with all the importance this has for a functioning civil society. 
Ja, Norge har trygghet nok til å arrangere og oppleve festivaler, med all den betydning det har for et levende sivilt samfunn.
For this we should be thankful. 
Det skal vi være glade for.
When I have the opportunity to watch musicians at close quarters and hear how they cooperate, how the orchestra or band plays together, I start thinking about how dependent each performer is on the others they are playing with. 
Når jeg på nært hold ser og hører hvordan musikere jobber sammen, hvordan et orkester eller et band spiller sammen, så tenker jeg på hvor avhengig hver utøver er av de andre de spiller med.
No other genre better portrays the art of playing together. 
Ingen sjanger illustrerer samspillets kunst bedre.
This reminds us of the importance of a functioning relationship. 
Det er en påminnelse om betydningen av at relasjonen fungerer.
Secondly, the music and culture presented in all festivals tells us to what extent some of the most important things in life cannot be measured. 
For det andre: Musikken og kulturen i alle festivalene forteller om hvordan noe av det aller viktigste i livet ikke kan måles.
We can, of course, measure the size of the audience, the income and expenses; we can count the number of beats, the decibels, the hours spent practising, the number of string and wind players; or we can count the number of rating stars awarded by reviewers. 
Vi kan selvsagt måle publikumstall, inntekter og utgifter, vi kan telle takter, desibel, øvingstimer, antall strykere og blåsere, eller telle antall øyne på terningene i anmeldelsene.
However, we cannot measure – and this is something we should be thankful for - the actual experience of hearing the music, the joy of playing and listening, the teamwork, the harmonies, respect for others’ variations, or the new nuances that arise. 
Men vi kan ikke måle – og det skal vi være glade for – opplevelsen av musikk, gleden ved å spille og lytte, samspill, samklang, respekt for andres versjoner, de nye nyansene som dukker opp.
We can count the number of newspaper pages, the centimetres of column length, the number of hits on websites, and the number of followers on Twitter. 
Vi kan telle avissider, spaltecentimeter, treff på websider eller disipler på twitter.
We can ascertain the number of CD’s sold or the audience sizes when Norwegian performers play overseas. 
Vi kan fastslå CD-salg eller publikumstall når norske utøvere deltar i utlandet.
We can count the number of books translated from Norwegian into other languages – this has risen from 100 to 300 in just a few years. 
Vi kan telle antall boktitler oversatt fra norsk til andre språk, ja, det har gått opp fra 100 til 300 på få år.
Perhaps we could find out the number of visitors staying overnight at Norwegian hotels. 
Kanskje kan vi undersøke tallene for gjestedøgn på norske hoteller.
Opinion polls can even tell us something about their target groups’ knowledge of Norway. 
Og meningsmålinger kan si oss noe om utenlandske målgruppers norgeskunnskaper.
But once again, how do you measure a musical experience? 
Men, igjen: Hvordan måle en musikkopplevelse?
A good book? 
En god bok?
A new building that takes your breath away? 
Et nytt byggverk som tar pusten fra deg?
Greater insight into another culture? 
Økt innsikt i en annen kultur?
Norwegian footprints left in the fields of international architecture, design, art, music, literature, theatre, and dance? 
Norske «fotavtrykk» internasjonalt innenfor arkitektur, design, kunst, musikk, litteratur, teater, dans?
We like to call this cultural exchange. 
Vi kaller det gjerne kulturutveksling.
This can also be expressed through the term ‘public diplomacy’, an area of activity that improves mutual understanding, establishes long-term contacts and strengthens connections over a broad field of activities. 
Men det kan også fanges opp av uttrykket «public diplomacy»: virksomhet som bedrer gjensidig forståelse, knytter langsiktige kontakter og styrker forbindelsene over et bredt felt.
In foreign policy international cultural cooperation has precisely this function. 
I utenrikspolitikken kan internasjonalt kultursamarbeid inneha akkurat denne funksjonen.
However, culture should lead its own life and does not require to act as a tool for something else. 
Men: Kulturen skal leve sitt eget liv og trenger ikke å være et redskap for noe annet.
It does not gain legitimacy because it can be used for something else. 
Det legitimeres ikke fordi det også er bra for noe annet.
I have in mind four dimensions: 
Jeg har fire dimensjoner i tankene:
Firstly, being together. 
For det første: Samvær.
Likewise a cross-border cultural arrangement provides an opportunity to get together sharing music or the theatre, not on one’s own but rather together with others, people from another culture. 
På samme måte: Et kulturarrangementet på tvers av grenser sørger for samvær, rundt musikk eller teater, ikke alene, men sammen med andre, mennesker fra en annen kultur.
Secondly, a sense of belonging. 
For det andre: Tilhørighet.
Norwegian cultural cooperation with countries overseas has indicated that we are an integral part of a larger geographical unit. 
Norsk kultursamarbeid med utlandet viser at vi er en integrert del av en større geografi.
Our cultural expressions are a part of the Nordic, European – yes, even of world cultural heritage. 
Våre kulturuttrykk er en del av det nordiske, europeiske – ja, av verdens kulturarv.
In addition, they demonstrate that we are a part of both the European and global cultural map. 
De viser også at vi er en del av det europeiske og globale kulturkartet.
This points us in the direction of a third dimension: diversity and the importance of new impulses. 
Det peker mot en tredje dimensjon: Mangfold og betydningen av nye impulser.
Many kinds of music – really art and culture as a whole – have been multicultural in nature and in motion at all times. 
Mange musikkformer – ja, kunst og kultur i det hele – har vært multikulturell og i bevegelse til alle tider.
Jazz could never have come into existence and developed without a continuous mixing of people and music in different geographical listening posts. 
Jazz kunne ikke ha blitt til eller utvikles uten en kontinuerlig miks av mennesker og musikk fra ulike geografiske lytteposter.
Bringing new external cultural impulses to a fairly homogenous country like Norway is a necessity of life just as it is for Norwegian cultural performers and creative powers to be able to frequently travel abroad. 
For et ganske homogent land som Norge, er det en livsnødvendighet at nye kulturelle impulser bringes til oss, utenfra, og dessuten at norske kulturutøvere og skapende krefter får reise mye til utlandet.
As a result they get the chance to hear new things, learn, play together with overseas colleagues, and appear in front of new audiences. 
For å høre nytt, lære, spille med utenlandske kolleger og opptre overfor et nytt publikum.
The one-sided cultivation of a so-called national culture, or whatever you wish to call it, is just a side-track. 
Ensidig dyrking av en såkalt nasjonal kultur, hva nå det måtte være, er et blindspor.
Culture’s mediums of expression are universal, such as music, dance and the visual arts – a shared global language that crosses all linguistic borders. 
Kulturens uttrykksmidler er universelle, som musikk, dans og visuell kunst: et felles globalt språk, på tvers av språkgrenser.
Everybody speaks music fluently in the world of musical geography. 
I musikkgeografien snakkes musikk flytende av alle.
Finally, culture builds the bridges we badly need. 
Og til sist: Kultur bygger broer som vi sårt trenger.
We allow ourselves to be fascinated by the dialogue we often witness between musicians, filmmakers, artists, and authors – and even by the very dialogue between performers and their audiences. 
Vi lar oss fascinere av den dialog vi ofte finner mellom musikere, filmskapere, kunstnere, forfattere – ja, av selve dialogen mellom utøvere og publikum.
Many examples exist of cultural arenas being capable of establishing and maintaining contact when fixed attitudes – political, ethnic, religious or inter-generational - would otherwise create barriers. 
Det er mange eksempler på at kulturelle arenaer kan etablere og opprettholde kontakt når fastlåste holdninger – politiske, etniske, religiøse eller mellom generasjoner – ellers skaper barrierer.
Culture is capable of taking up universal ideals, human rights, and it can reduce distances, rebuild trusts and highlight our common identity. 
Kultur kan ta opp universelle idealer, menneskerettigheter og kultur kan redusere avstander, gjenoppbygge tillit, synliggjøre en felles identitet.
On the other hand Khalid Salimi, head of the Mela Festival, has stated that we have to stop saying that we are building bridges and rather realise that we are living on the same island. 
På den annen side: Vi må slutte å si at vi bygger broer, men innse at vi bor på samme øy, har Khalid Salimi, lederen av Melafestivalen sagt.
Just as with music we need to find the keynote. 
Som i musikken gjelder det å finne grunntonen.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has spent over 95 million Norwegian Crowns during this year alone on cultural purposes. 
Bare i år bruker Utenriksdepartementet over 95 millioner kroner til kulturformål.
