FIFTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CULTURAL POLICY RESEARCH
Organised by Yeditepe University, Istanbul
In co-operation with the International Journal of Cultural Policy
20-24 August 2008, Istanbul, Turkey

ICCPR 2008
ICCPR 2008 aims 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.
ICCPR 2008 welcomes participants to Istanbul, the biggest city in Europe
and the former capital of three empires (Eastern Roman, Byzantine and
Ottoman); and a historical centre of Islam, Orthodox Christianity and
Eastern Christianity. The city also benefits from being at the
meeting point of two continents and different cultures. These features
make the city culturally one of the most important places in the world.
The venue of the conference is Yeditepe University, which was established
in 1996 and situated at 26 August Campus, on the Asian side of Istanbul.

Call for papers

Researchers are invited to submit proposals for paper presentations.
Proposals from any relevant discipline will be considered, provided they
make an original academic contribution to the study of cultural policy and
its effects. Proposals based on research that is primarily ‘instrumental’
(such as market research) or on research designed for the purposes of
advocating a preconceived institutional position will not be accepted.
This does not exclude applied research of high academic quality.
Although ICCPR 2008 will consider proposals for the investigation of any
aspect of cultural policy, as defined above, it particularly seeks
proposals for research papers on the following topics:
•Cultural policy and globalisation
•Cultural policy, religion and secularism
•Intellectuals and cultural policy

•Research questions that the paper will address
