[ecrea] 2016 IACSS Summer School@Lingnan

Call for Applications for the 2016 IACSS Summer School

Theme: Creativity and Social Movements

Period: June 21 - July 5, 2016

Venue: Lingnan University, Hong Kong

Local Organizers: Lingnan University Kwan Fong Cultural Research & 
Development Programme, Master of Cultural Studies, Department of 
Cultural Studies

Targeting post-graduate students / young faculties, the overall theme 
will cover the diverse sociohistorical contexts in which thinking about 
creativity in relation to social movements (aesthetics and politics in 
the first half of the twentieth century) has mattered to both theory and 
practice. We will also consider the various forms of contemporary 
activism, and their conjunctures with cultural and aesthetic 
transformations of various kinds in inter-Asia. The programme will 
include 10 full-day themed coursework with a combination of lecture 
presentations and more informal as well as small group discussions, plus 
field-trips or visits on 2 or 3 days during the weekends.
