As a result of globalization, intellectual frameworks and paradigms for forming cultural policies are shifting, especially regarding cultural activity in international contexts.
First, because cultural activity can now be diffused more quickly and widely across the border. As a result, culture, as part of a process of reconfirming and reaffirming identity, has become less geographically attached, and national and ethnic cultures are bound to be redefined.
Second, with innovations in technology and the spread of information technology, barriers and boundaries between different forms of art are being broken — for example, between fine arts and cinema, dance and theater and even between photographs and sculpture.
