Issues of creativity and place are currently of compelling significance as
fields of scholarly research, sites of artistic practice and areas of public
interest. We invite proposals for papers, sessions and round-tables for
a conference on the theme of Creativity and Place.
This conference aims to bring together scholars and practitioners from
across humanities and social sciences to consider the relationships
between creativity and place. Scholars have analyzed the practices and
products of artists, musicians, and other practitioners, exploring the
relationships of their work to the spaces and places in which they are
produced and consumed. Allied research explores the creative
industries, their spatialities, including narratives of clusters and ‘other
geographies,’ as well as thinking through the politics of creative labour
and the changing geographies of governance within the sector.
We are looking for papers that explore the range, intensity and quality
of the relationships between creative industries, cultural practices and
place.
We welcome participation from all disciplines and from scholarly and
practice-led approaches.
Please send proposals or abstracts of no more than 300 words to: the
organizers: Dr David .C. Harvey, Dr Nicola, J. Thomas and Dr Harriet
Hawkins on: h.hawkins @exeter.ac.uk
Deadline: Friday 19th March
