Sub-theme 16: At the Cross-road of National and Cosmopolitan: Interweaving of Organizations and Organizing in Creative Industries EGOS Colloquium in Bergen Norway July 6-8 2006
Abstracts due January 6, 2006
CALL FOR PAPERS
Our theme was inspired by Edvard Grieg's statement: Just as man is both an individual and a social being, so the artist must be both national and cosmopolitan.
We invite submissions that explore the interaction among national and global milieu of professional networks, temporary and permanent organizations, government institutions and policies, markets, and media that produce and consume creative outputs.
We hope for scholarly work that may include inquiries into but are not limited to the following areas:
(1) How do creative voices, creative organizations and creative industries influence the renewal of communities, regions and societies, bringing together the local and the cosmopolitan?
(2) What is the role and interaction of the state and market institutions in creative industries? Hoe does the state's role influence what kinds of creative products are produced, which organizations interact and their rules for doing so? How do market forces and logics shape creative products, interactions and who participates?
(3) Does the complexity and variety of organizations that interweave to create performances or products differ substantially between creative industries? What are the factors that alter the number and complexity of organizations over time?
