[ecrea] CFP : Crowdfunding in cultural industries: issues and perspectives - 13th of April - Paris

Call for Papers


Le financement participatif dans les industries culturelles : enjeux et 
perspectives

(Crowdfunding in cultural industries: issues and perspectives)


April 13th, 2015, in Paris, France


Informations: www.crowdfunding2015.wordpress.com



Context


Over the past few years, crowdfunding has been presented as an 
innovating alternative to classical forms of

funding in cultural industries. Crowdfunding allows project owners 
(artists, musicians, film makers…) and their

fan base to develop a direct economic relationship. In this model, 
contributors play a triple role: they are investors,

potential consumers and promoters.

Recent academic debates emerge from various fields, such as economy, 
sociology or media and communication studies.

These works have focused on the motivation of contributors, factors of 
success, and to some aspects in the logics in the communication and the 
cultural industries.



Axis of research


Papers may explore different dimensions on crowdfunding. What does it 
means “to raise money / fund”?

What are the skills required to succeed? To what extend can we call the 
activity of the project leader a work?

On the contributors’ side, how the decision to contribute is taken? What 
social relationships may influence the decisions?

Who are the actors participating in the decision making of allocating 
financing resources?

Moreover, how may crowdfunding modify the value chain in the artistic 
production? Can these potential changes

redistribute the uncertainty toward other actors? To what extend 
crowdfunding may contribute to offer more visibility

to artists on the margins of cultural industries?


Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following axis:

1) The funding activity in the DIY production

2) The investment regarding social activity and relationship

3) The articulations between actors in crowdfunding, the cultural and 
the financial industry

4) Crowdfunding market structure

5) Crowdfunding and cultural diversity

Researchers writing papers in economics, sociology, and media and 
communication studies are welcome to
