[ecrea] Cultural Trends - Conference Update

Mon Aug 03 12:06:48 GMT 2009



Cultural Trends: One Day Conference - Centre/Periphery: Devolution/Federalism
New Trends in Cultural Policy
City University, Friday 16th October 2009
Cultural Trends, the journal that champions the need for better evidence-based analyses of the cultural sector, is delighted to announce that its second one-day international conference is now open to delegates. The tension between the power and resources at the centre and the interests and ambitions of the periphery is a long-standing issue in cultural policy. This tension has strongly been in play during the years of the Labour government. The United Kingdom has witnessed simultaneously the decline of regionalism and the rise of devolved governments that are using experiments in cultural policy as their first exercises in independence from London. Other countries in Europe and the wider world, however, have longer experience of cultural devolution, regionalism and federalism. This conference interrogates these concepts in the context of the UK cultural sector, and asks what lessons overseas models may have for us. Selected papers consider aspects of the situation in Canada, England, France, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Philippines, Poland, Scotland and Spain.
