The 6th International Conference on Cultural Policy Research https://www.jyu.fi/en/congress/iccpr2010
Welcome to the 6th International Conference on Cultural Policy Research, Jyväskylä, Finland, 24 - 27 August 2010. The Conference will be organized by The Cultural Policy unit of Jyväskylä University in collaboration with the International Journal of Cultural Policy. ICCPR2010 aims to provide a space for explorations on cultural policies, their meanings, roles and impact in an interdisciplinary and international environment. The explorations at the ICCPR2010 in cultural policy are not restricted to the contemporary period, or geographical area. The conference neither assumes a fixed understanding of the concept of culture or the concept of policy. ICCPR2010 generally sees cultural policies as regularization, promotion and discouragement of practices and values by institutions and individuals, public and private. The concept of policy can also be regarded as a "regularizing aspect of politics". Furthermore, ICCPR2010 maintains that cultural policies and their effects can be explicit and implicit, or latent. In the Nordic countries, where the ICCPR2010 takes place, the state has had a strong role in promoting and financing culture. However, economic and cultural developments, such as globalization, enforce the need to investigate semi-public, non-governmental and private, voluntary and commercial efforts as policy processes with wide effects. Therefore, the ICCPR2010 expects to host a whole variety of papers. ICCPR2010 theme "Truths, Taboos and Myths of Cultural Policy" refers to the ways in the field of cultural policy takes place and positions itself in praxis and research. This is not a forced topic on any paper proposals, but the organisers seek to motivate prospective paper-givers to be reflective about cultural policy and self-reflective about research. ICCPR2010 warmly welcomes participants to Jyväskylä, the city of design and education in the heart of Finland. -- Moldova Young Artists Association "Oberliht" http://www.oberliht.org.md . . . . . . . . . . . http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist portal informational pentru arta si cultura din Moldova information gateway for arts and culture from Moldova _______________________________________________ oberlist mailing list [email protected] http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist
