Fifth International Conference on Cultural Policy Research (ICCPR)

Istanbul, Turkey, 20-24 August 2008

The Fifth International Conference on Cultural Policy Research (ICCPR)
will take place in Istanbul, Turkey on 20-24 August 2008, aiming to
provide an outlet for an interdisciplinary and international exploration
of the meaning, function and impact of cultural policies. Cultural policy
is understood as the promotion or prohibition of cultural practices and
values by governments, corporations, other institutions and individuals.
Such policies may be explicit, in that their objectives are openly
described as cultural, or implicit, in that their cultural objectives are
concealed or described in other terms. The historical range is not limited
to any given period, but the ICCPR is primarily concerned with material
that is relevant to the contemporary world and which contributes to a
fruitful international exchange of ideas.

ICCPR 2008 acknowledges the multiplicity of meanings around the idea of
culture and the inter-relationship of these meanings. However, whilst it
takes a broad view of culture, encompassing a wide range of signifying
practices that include the products of the media, the arts and various
forms of government or religious display, ICCPR 2008 will attempt to
maintain a focus on policies relating to culture as symbolic communication
rather than culture in the anthropological sense as 'a whole way of life'.

ICCPR 2008 addresses itself to all those with a serious intellectual
interest in how and why different agencies attempt to work on the cultural
practices and values of individuals and societies.

Researchers are invited to submit proposals for paper presentations from
any relevant discipline, particularly on the following topics:

Cultural policy and globalisation
Cultural policy, religion and secularism
Intellectuals and cultural policy
Politics of cultural policy
Cultural policy and values
Historiographies of cultural policy
Cultural policy in Mediterranean countries
Comparative cultural policy
Cultural policy and cultural industries
Artist policy
Creativity and the city
Cultural policy and development policy
Cultural policy as welfare policy
Culture and economy
Cultural policy, cultural diplomacy and international relations
Cultural Participation
500-words abstracts should be submitted by 15 November 2007. The
Scientific Committee will consider proposals and communicate decisions by
14 January 2008 and the deadline for the submission of final papers will
be 30 April 2008.
