CALL FOR PAPERS
‘The Long Run’:
Long-term Developments in the Arts and Cultural Industries
February 23-25, 2000 / Rotterdam, the Netherlands
The Department of Art and Culture Studies at the Erasmus University of
Rotterdam focuses on the sociological, economic and historical aspects of
the arts and cultural industries. In February 2000, the Department
celebrates its 10th Anniversary with an international conference. The
conference provides an open, interdisciplinary forum for research into
long-term developments and structural changes in art worlds and cultural
industries. Speculation about future developments in the arts and cultural
industries is welcomed, as long as it is grounded in empirical research or
theoretical argument.
The conference includes several thematic paper sessions, one of which
focuses on the long term development of The Museum as Representation of
Urban Culture. Since the nineteenth century, museums - and in particular
museums of art - have functioned as representations of the cultural
standing of cities, as paragons of civic proud. Will museums be able to
fulfil their role as banners of city culture in the 21st century, while
they have to compete with other cultural institutions and the
entertainment industry? And why have they been so successful in the past?
The conference program includes keynote lectures by major scholars in the
sociology, economy and history of the arts and cultural industries and
thematic paper sessions. Interested scholars are invited to submit papers
on the following or related topics:
? Public, Nonprofit and Pro Profit Futures of the Arts
? Artistic Work and Artistic Careers between Market and Organization
? (Mass)Media as a Source of Information on the Arts
? The Museum as Representation of Urban Culture
? The Dynamics of Transnational Cultural Exchange
? Perspectives on European Cultural Industries
? Cultural Industries: Risks, Rights and Revenues
Deadline for the submission of abstracts is August 15, 1999. For further
