[ecrea] Audiovisual Thinking - Call for videos

*Audiovisual Thinking - Call for videos Issue #2013:7*

*The creative economy*
This issue of Audiovisual Thinking focuses on 'the creative economy', 
which has become a central focus of government policy in many states. In 
the belief that cultural production is now central to economic life, and 
an essential part of global competitiveness, governments have intervened 
in various ways to try and stimulate cultural production and financial 
returns. How does this look from the standpoint of those in cultural work?

Topics could include (but are not limited to):

   * Case studies of cultural workers at work.
   * Reflections on intervention by government bodies and cultural
     agencies: the exercise of power. How do subsidies, tax breaks,
     training and other kinds of support impact on the structures and
     strategies of creative businesses?
   * Cultural work and intellectual property -- are there connections?
     Who benefits?
   * How is digital technology affecting cultural work and intellectual
     property?
   * How do ideas about the creative economy circulate?
   * What links are there between cultural work, philanthropy and other
     forms of patronage?
   * What do we know about the self-organisation of cultural collectives?

What is Audiovisual Thinking <http://www.audiovisualthinking.org/>?

Audiovisual Thinking is a peer reviewed academic online journal and 
pioneering forum where academics, practitioners and educators can 
articulate, conceptualize and disseminate their research about 
audiovisual culture through video.

International in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, the purpose of 
Audiovisual Thinking is to develop and promote academic thinking in and 
about all aspects of audiovisuality and audiovisual culture. Advised by 
a board of leading academics and thinkers in the fields of 
audiovisuality, communication and the media and hosted by Copenhagen 
University, the journal seeks to set the standard for academic 
audiovisual essays now and in the future. We study, teach and research 
the moving image, media and audiovisuality, yet we rarely mediate in 
these same forms and media. Audiovisual Thinking hopes to change this.
