creative cities

 

the difficult questions

 

Convened by Tara Byrne, gradcam research scholar. Contact: tarasbyrne(at)googlemail.com

 

A seminar series which takes as its point of departure a critical interrogation of the current vogue for creative cities discourse.

Key questions to be considered are:

• What is meant by 'creative cities'?
• What is the role of culture in 'creative cities' debate and practice?
• How might 'creative cities' contribute to communities? what is the relationship between 'creative cities' discourse and gentrification/regeneration theories?
• What is the relationship between 'creative cities' rhetoric and 'creative economy' and 'smart economy' discourses?
• “to what extent have the Creative Industries been part of the global financial system bubble and to what extent could they be part of the solution”? (Paul Stark –creative clusters 2008 conference)
• How do 'creative cities' relate to notions of social belonging, participatory-citizenship and communal identity?
• What is the impact of 'creative city' theory on cultural policy and cultural practice?

 

This seminar series has previously met fortnightly. It will meet on Wednesday 6/10/2010 to review its activities to date. There is an associated event on Friday 24/9/210 on aspects of 'creative labour and the precariat' with Gerald Rauning.
