    Exploring the boundaries of the audiovisual industries in an Irish
    context: production,distribution,consumption

**

The Editorial Board of the Irish Journal of Arts Management and Cultural Policy (IJAMCP) isseeking submissions for a special issue on the subject of audiovisual cultural policies inIreland.Youare invitedtosubmit apaperfor possible inclusion.

From the funding structures, content and reception of internationally acclaimed TV series/Normal People/ to the worldwide success of feature length animation /Wolfwalkers /by theKilkenny based animation studio Cartoon Saloon, Irish audiovisual culture is increasinglyvisible globally.There is a significant body of academic work on Irish film from multipleperspectives. However, it is contended that the /policies /(as widely defined) that serve toshape what we might consider as cultural audiovisual products, are under examined. Thisspecial issue will consider audiovisual policies in Ireland from a cultural policy perspective. Itis a facet of cultural policy research that common terms in use (such as policy, culture,audiovisual) are subject to varying interpretations. It is the intention of this CFP to welcomeanexpansiveinterpretationofthe meaningoftheseconcepts.

Given the transnational/global nature (and these terms are not used interchangeably) of theaudiovisual industries in Ireland, the understanding of the policies that shape the culturalfabric of Ireland includes policies from beyond the nation-state, including other nationalpolicies and those of supranational bodies (European Union) and international organisations(WorldTradeOrganisation, UNESCO)andmore.

TakinganinterdisciplinaryapproachtotheaudiovisualindustriesinIrelandenablescriticalanalysis from multiple perspectives; including but not limited to digital media theories,cultural studies, political economy, cultural and creative industries discourse, critical legalresearch, and public policy analysis (to offer some perspectives). The use of multipleperspectives allows for interrogation of the meaning-making role of the audiovisualindustries and the role of cultural policies (as widely defined) in shaping the audiovisuallandscape inIreland.

Policy is understood as something governments choose to do or not to do. This issue usesDavid Throsby’s (2009) concept of explicit and implicit policies to broaden the scope ofanalysis to policies that might not usually be considered as cultural policies. These mightinclude such diverse areas as labour rights within the audiovisual industries, copyright and IPregulation,taxationpolicies, fundingstructures, regulationandmore.
