 | Arts, Culture and the Public Sphere - Venice, 4-8 November 2008 04-11-2008 Introduction The FDA – Faculty of Design and Arts, together with DADI - Department of Arts
and Industrial Design of the University IUAV in Venice is organizing the
conference "Arts, Culture and the Public Sphere: Expressive and Instrumental
Values in Economic and Sociological Perspective". This conference is organized
in cooperation with the Research Network for the Sociology of Culture and the
Research Network for the Sociology of the Arts of the ESA - European
Sociological Association.
Description
Arts and culture can no longer be considered uncritically as vehicles merely
related to a ‘civilizing mission’ or to ‘economic development’. Following the
main theme of the conference, the conference will investigate how arts and
culture became contested grounds involving multiple social and economic
dimensions of contemporary societies.
The conference will be the first opportunity to have three European networks
- the two Research Networks of the European Sociological Association, ‘Sociology
of Arts’ and ‘Sociology of Culture’, and the network ‘Economics and Planning of
Arts and Culture’ - meeting around a common theme. Therefore interdisciplinary
papers are strongly encouraged.
