Call for Papers AAG Annual Meeting, Chicago, 21-25 April 2015
Doing creative economies: social justice and transformative governance
Convenors: Phil Jones (University of Birmingham), Saskia Warren (University of Birmingham) and Melanie Fasche (University of Toronto)
The creative economy has for many years been positioned as the salvation of cities suffering post-industrial decline (Landry, 2000; Florida, 2002; even to the point of parody, see The Onion, 2014). Cities as varied as Rotterdam and Guangzhou, Medellín and Dundee have attempted to foster their creative economies, building on a global model, but implementing this in very different ways and with different (un)intended outcomes (Kong and O’Connor 2009). This session takes the opportunity to critically reflect on the ways that different cities have attempted to realise the benefits that have been claimed for the creative economy, in particular the tension between city marketing, growth and social justice outcomes (Peck 2005; Banks 2009; Leslie and Catungal 2012; Oakley 2013). We also want to explore the extent to which the creative economy can be considered a co-construction between policy makers, creative practitioners and communities.
We are particularly interested in papers that theoretically, methodologically and/or empirically address questions such as:
- Creative economy beyond the world cities
- From the global to the neighbourhood: rescaling the creative economy
- Governance and power
- Social framing and value-making
- Creative austerity economies
- Co-commissioning, co-design, co-curation
- Processes of cultural intermediation
- Agency, intermediation and interculturalism
- Interstices of social inclusion and exclusion
- Creative economies and creative communities: belonging; becoming; fracture; fragmentation; innovation and/or precarity
- Formal vs. informal manifestations of creative economic activity
- Marginalised practices and peripheral spaces of creativity
- The creative economy imaginary
- Creative methods for examining creative economies
Please submit abstracts of no more than 250 words by email to Phil Jones ([log in to unmask]), Saskia Warren ([log in to unmask] or Melanie Fasche ([log in to unmask]) by 3 October 2014.
We will let you know if your paper will included by 10 October 2014 and will expect all participants to register and submit abstracts to AAG by 31 October. Please remember that you have to pay to register abstracts with AAG.

A PUBLIC SERVICE-DOMINANT LOGIC FOR PUBLIC MANAGEMENT:
WHAT ROLE FOR CO-PRODUCTION?
Panel Chair(s)
* Stephen Osborne, University of Edinburgh Business School, Scotland
* Greta Nasi, Department of Policy Analysis and Public Management, Bocconi University Italy
* Sophie Flemig, University of Edinburgh Business School, Scotland
Call
This panel is dedicated to exploring one element of the public service-dominant logic that has been developed by Osborne and his colleagues. This is the role of co-production within public services delivery.
The panel will explicitly challenge the prevailing public administration discourse of co-production by arguing for understanding it as an intrinsic element of public services delivery rather than as an "add-on". It will invite papers that present new evidence and new theoretical perspectives on co-production and which take forward the debate rather than simply reiterating old premises. It will follow on from the IRSPM Workshop in co-production held in Budapest in 2012 which led to a special issue of PMR.
Both empirical and conceptual/theoretical papers are welcome, as are papers from both experienced academics and doctoral researchers.
Key questions will include:
* Does taking a public service-dominant approach to public services delivery change how we understand and view co-production?
* How can we identify the dimensions of co-production in public services delivery and is it possible to create metrics to evaluate its impact?
* What are then links between co-production, co-creation and co-design?
* To what extent can co-production at the service delivery level be harnessed to drive forward co-creation and public service innovation?
* What are the contingencies of successful co-production and how are they enacted in the public service delivery process?
* Is there a "dark side"; to co-production (‘co-destruction’ maybe) and what are then implications of this for public service delivery?
Papers on other topics relevant to the panel are also welcome.
The final closing plenary will consider how to take this debate forward in the future and what the possibilities might be for further dissemination and publication.
