9th Conference of the sociology of the arts research network - ARTS AND CREATIVITY: WORKING ON IDENTITY and difference

Picture
The ESA Research Network Sociology of the Arts hereby announces its 9th midterm conference which will take place from 8th to 10th September 2016 at the University of Porto - Faculty of Arts and Humanities, in Portugal. Since 2000, the Network has organised a biannual conference on Sociology of the Arts. A key aim of these conferences is to promote the collaboration and acade- mic exchange between scholars of the arts, to support the presentation of new research projects and to o er inspiration for the further development of the sociology of the arts.

MAIN THEMATIC FOCUS

The arts are undergoing deep changes in the social, cultural, economic and ecological environments & governance frameworks in which they operate today. A speci c combination of various factors increases the challenges faced by arts and the potentialities for sociological inquiry. Some of these combined factors are: the international and local dynamics of cultural organizations and art markets, the volatility of private and public funding, the openness and uncertainty of evalua- tion and recognition of artistic work, the intrinsic nature of art work, the relationship of the arts to the creative economy and the related politics for the so-called ‘creative agenda’, the diverse and renewed forms of audiences’ participation, and the impact of art on social cohesion and identity-making. The ESA Research Network Sociology of the Arts aims to provide the sociologi- cal contexts for understanding all these multifaceted and interwoven aspects which characterize the art worlds in societies nowadays.

DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS - February 15th, 2016
