Speaker: Prof. Dr. Mustafa Özbilgin – Brunel University, London Date: 27 Ekim 2015, Tuesday Time: 16:00 – 18:00 Location: santralistanbul Campus, Museum of Energy Seminar Hall

Historically, the relationship between culture and economy has been complex and complicated. Cultural and creative industry continues to host many of these historical tensions. In this talk, we turn our attention to employment in the sector in Britain, which is tainted by all forms of inequalities but most notably the class inequality. The lecture will explain ways in which intersecting inequalities in the sector can be revealed and how inequalities could be combatted and diversity of talent could be protected through life cycle and value chain approaches.


Developing Cultural Industries: Learning from the Palimpsest of Practice

Christiaan De Beukelaer, University of Melbourne

Abstract

The discourse of the creative economy is now increasingly global. Virtually every country around the world uses the concept (or one of its variants) in politics, policy, advocacy and practice. The aim of this talk is to discuss the uptake of this discourse in the context of Burkina Faso and Ghana. In these countries, the use of the ‘creative economy discourse’ is rather recent and remains largely at odds with the lived realities of many stakeholders in the cultural sector. Through an empirically illustrated engagement with this debate, Christiaan De Beukelaer shows how the use of ‘cultural and creative industries’ in public policy reconfigures the boundaries of cultural policy.

Christiaan De Beukelaer (https://unimelb.academia.edu/ChristiaanDeBeukelaer) is Lecturer in Cultural Management at the University of Melbourne. He obtained a PhD from the University of Leeds and holds degrees in development studies (MSc, Leuven), cultural studies (MA, Leuven), and musicology (BA, Amsterdam). His research connects cultural policy and international development. He is a member of the U40 Network (http://u40net.org/), and is winner of the 2012 Cultural Policy Research Award, which resulted in the book Developing Cultural Industries: Learning From the Palimpsest of Practice (European Cultural Foundation, 2015). He also co-edited the book Globalization, Culture, and development: The UNESCO Convention on Cultural Diversity (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015, with Miikka Pyykkönen and JP Singh).
