>research (over-time, cross-national, between different art forms, across
>cultural domains) and how sociologists of the arts might take advantage
>of approaches and insights developed outside of their own discipline,
>for example, within the fields of cultural economics, art history, or
>media and communication research.
>
>The organizers look forward to seeing proposals for conference papers or
>for a workshop (e.g. around one or more recently published books, a
>particular research theme or approach). Topics are invited in the
>following and related fields:
