Arts Sociology: Creativity, Support and Sustainability 4th Interim Conference of the ESA Research Network Sociology for the Arts

Lueneburg and Hamburg (Germany), March 28-April 1, 2007

The ESA Research Network Sociology for the Arts is organizing its 8th meeting at the end of March 2007 in Lueneburg (Germany), with additional events in near-by Hamburg. The main conference venue will be at the University of Lueneburg, close to the medieval old town.The conference will feature keynote lectures, plenary discussions, paper sessions, workshops, and round tables. Following the triad theme of the conference, "Creativity, Support, and Sustainability", we will put an emphasis on those issues that are of sociological interest within arts worlds but also relate to those powerful developments in economy, ecology and ethic contexts on the macro level that influence, manipulate or determine production, content and forms, distribution and reception of the arts.

The deadline for proposals is October 15, 2006.

We are interested in receiving abstracts from all social scientists and other scholar of the arts and culture, including those that take advantage of approaches and insights developed outside of their own discipline, for example, within the fields of cultural economics, art history, arts theory, media and communication research, and methodological questions. Thus, other arts and culture topics not related to creativity, support and sustainability will have their place at this conference.
