Fifth International Conference on Cultural Policy Research (ICCPR) Istanbul, Turkey, 20-24 August 2008
The Fifth International Conference on Cultural Policy Research (ICCPR) will take place in Istanbul, Turkey on 20-24 August 2008, aiming to provide an outlet for an interdisciplinary and international exploration of the meaning, function and impact of cultural policies. Cultural policy is understood as the promotion or prohibition of cultural practices and values by governments, corporations, other institutions and individuals. Such policies may be explicit, in that their objectives are openly described as cultural, or implicit, in that their cultural objectives are concealed or described in other terms. The historical range is not limited to any given period, but the ICCPR is primarily concerned with material that is relevant to the contemporary world and which contributes to a fruitful international exchange of ideas. ICCPR 2008 acknowledges the multiplicity of meanings around the idea of culture and the inter-relationship of these meanings. However, whilst it takes a broad view of culture, encompassing a wide range of signifying practices that include the products of the media, the arts and various forms of government or religious display, ICCPR 2008 will attempt to maintain a focus on policies relating to culture as symbolic communication rather than culture in the anthropological sense as 'a whole way of life'. ICCPR 2008 addresses itself to all those with a serious intellectual interest in how and why different agencies attempt to work on the cultural practices and values of individuals and societies. Researchers are invited to submit proposals for paper presentations from any relevant discipline, particularly on the following topics: Cultural policy and globalisation Cultural policy, religion and secularism Intellectuals and cultural policy Politics of cultural policy Cultural policy and values Historiographies of cultural policy Cultural policy in Mediterranean countries Comparative cultural policy Cultural policy and cultural industries Artist policy Creativity and the city Cultural policy and development policy Cultural policy as welfare policy Culture and economy Cultural policy, cultural diplomacy and international relations Cultural Participation 500-words abstracts should be submitted by 15 November 2007. The Scientific Committee will consider proposals and communicate decisions by 14 January 2008 and the deadline for the submission of final papers will be 30 April 2008.
