Bringing together an enormous range of
endeavours, the cultural and creative industries range from art, cinema, music,
and fashion to curatorship, museum management, and heritage site
revitalisation. Such endeavours are of great importance artistically,
culturally and economically, so it is understandable that recent years have
seen increasing attention on the Cultural and Creative Industries, both in
teaching and research, in Higher Education institutions around the world. In
response to this, the USC-SJTU Joint Institute of Cultural and Creative
Industries in Shanghai is pleased to announce an international conference to
explore the most recent developments in the field, at both national and
international levels. Under the theme of “Collaboration and Competition”, we
wish to call for a rethinking of the roles and methods of cultural production, and
how they relate to current concerns about globalisation, and concurrent moves
towards nationalism. In addition, our sub-theme for this conference, “Futures
and Pasts” emphasises a pan-historical focus, and also seeks to facilitate
dialogue among industry historians, theorists, and professionals.
The purpose of this conference is to bring
together scholars and industry practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines
and interests, with a view to establishing common ground in order to compare,
exchange and develop new ways of researching, teaching, and working in the
creative and cultural industries. We welcome abstracts for individual 20 minute
presentations or panels consisting of three papers (in English) from scholars
and practitioners working in any field of the cultural and creative industries.
Please send abstracts (max 300 words) and short biographies (max 100 words),
and any enquiries to [log in to unmask] by 6th Mar 2017. Possible
