[ecrea] CFP Quaderns del CAC 43 - Diversity and cultural industries

Wed Oct 05 14:05:23 GMT 2016



Quaderns del CAC, issue 43, July 2017
Diversity and cultural industries

** Deadline for submission of articles: March 13, 2017 **

The communication journal Quaderns del CAC opens a new call for papers for the monographic section devoted to the analysis of diversity in cultural industries and initiatives for the protection and promotion.

In a context of transformation of the ways in which goods and services conveyed by cultural industries are produced, distributed, consumed and monetized, the last decade has witnessed a proliferation of ideas and debates that lay on the table the need to preserve and promote the diversity of cultural goods and services, both in the traditional analogic landscape as in the digital one. The states, in fact, have been reaffirmed their capacity to formulate public policies in this direction under the shelter of the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity (2001) and the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (2005) approved by UNESCO. However, the definition and the implementation of the concept of diversity are far from being simple: it is not easy to answer what diversity is and why it is desirable, since its omnipresence covers so many different areas and, on several occasions, motivates speeches pointing to opposite directions. In this scenario it is vital to understand the challenges the diversity of content produced, distributed and promoted daily by the cultural industries must face; in particular, how digitization transforms the production, distribution and consumption of cultural goods and services, creating new opportunities but also risks.

Proposals shall be referred to these topics of interest, among others:
- Assessing the impact of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (UNESCO, 2005) after a decade of its adoption. - Implementation and adaptation of the 2005 UNESCO Convention for the digital age. - Internet cultural agents and practices that contribute to its diversity: mapping and challenges. - Diversity in digital audiovisual (cinema, radio, television, music, video, OTT): content, structure and public policy.
- Best practices for diversity in cultural industries.
- Copyright, copyright and diversity in cultural industries.
- Measure and statistics to assess the diversity of cultural expressions.
- The governance of the international trade in cultural goods and services: challenges and opportunities for diversity. - The role of international cooperation in the promotion and protection of cultural expressions.
- Specific Issues of diversity in cultures of stateless nations.

We also encourage you to participate in the miscellaneous 'Articles' section, with contributions of ongoing research on audiovisual communication and culture. The call for papers for this section is permanently open.

The text must be original and unpublished and not be subject currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a double-blind peer review process. Quaderns del CAC will provide the authors with the positive or negative result of the review within one month and a half after the submission of the article. The text must be submitted in accordance with the guidelines of the journal. <http://www.cac.cat/pfw_files/cma/recerca/quaderns_cac/Q42_Articles_Guidelines_EN.pdf>

Articles should be sent to (quadernsdelcac /at/ gencat.cat)
