Dear all,
I've been asked to forward details of this seminar on cultural industries in Edinburgh (below) along with the following note about travel being paid for.
Dave Hesmondhalgh
 
although attendance at the final seminar of the 'Cultural Industries Series' is free, places are strictly limited and just fifteen (15) of them are now left. 

Among those latter, fourteen (14) will be receiving travel funding (up to £100 and on receipts' presentation) and only one (1) place remaining for both accommodation and travel funding.

Registrations are still on a first come, first served basis (but priority will be given to postgraduate students) ; so be quick!

Best regards,

Subject: Final AHRB/ESRC network seminar: Thursday 11th and Friday 12th January 2007, at the Royal Society of Edinburgh


Dear all,

The 9th and final seminar of the Cultural Industries Series which began in December 2003 will take place Thursday 11th and Friday 12th January 2007, at the Royal Society of Edinburgh (please see details of the seminar programme below).

For this last seminar, entitled "New Directions in Research: Substance, Method and Critique", the organisers thought it would be interesting to review some of the ground that has been covered and to pose issues and questions that will contribute to the development of future research agendas. To those ends, contributors to the seminar will address questions of policy and investment including human capital, the adequacy of economic accounts of the culture industries, the relations of the culture industries to broader economic processes and even the usefulness of the notion of culture industry itself. There will probably be occasions to re-consider Adorno and Horkheimer's original ironic use of the term.
 
Although attendance to the seminar is free, places are strictly limited. If you want to reserve a place, please contact me: Email: [log in to unmask] In order for me to proceed to your booking, please make sure to state your name, your academic / professional status, your contact details as well as your University / organisation.

We hope to be able to fund travel and accommodation (1 night) for about 45 persons. Travel will be limited to £100 per person (on receipt of the usual receipts). We are negotiating a good deal on the hotel. Booking and attendance is free - but it is on a first come first served basis. We will notify late applicants of which number they are on the list and we will operate a waiting list. So, those who book, please let us know if you cannot come as a place will be freed up.
