FINAL PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
“Crossing Boundaries: Humanities, the Arts, and the Impact of Cultural Globalisation”
Arts and Humanities Post-graduate Led Conference
Tuesday 15th June 2010, 9.30—17.00
Portrait Room, Grove House, Froebel Campus, Roehampton University
London, SW15 5PJ
Today there is instant access to many kinds of art, and audiences are exposed to a myriad of multicultural information. Yet cultural globalisation is no new phenomenon. In times of frequent travel, diaspora and technological innovation—mixing, ripping, exposing and assimilating Others is common yet differs between places, spaces and peoples over time. How are local cultures affected by the globalisation process? How are ‘foreign’ concepts assimilated in the process of generating various forms of art, such as theatre, literature, media and the visual arts? This conference aims to incorporate discussions and performances relating to the production, transmission and interpretation of the arts and humanities in a global world.
