ICCPR 2018 - call for cultural policy papers

The 10th International Conference on Cultural Policy Research (ICCPR2018) will be held on August 21-25 2018 at Tallinn University, Estonia. Papers and panel proposals are invited on the theme:The Cultural Governance of Global Flows: Past and Future.

This theme refers to the emergence of complex global flows that present contemporary societies with novel challenges and have high relevance for shaping but also understanding cultural policy in the making worldwide. These include forced as well as unforced migrations; new global divisions in cultural labour; cultural tourism; novel forms of content distribution; emergent international networks and platforms enabling cultural exchange; global trade with (big) data on cultural practices; and attempts of reimagining and re-evaluating shared values, to name some. The conference expects to address not only the present situation and future strategies but invites investigations into the archaeologies and histories of contemporary flows and into past ways of addressing related challenges with cultural policies in different regions of the world. It puts a special emphasis on the experiences in Eastern Europe and other transitional societies.
