Rethinking Culture and Creativity
We are happy to announce our participation in the organisation of the Rethinking Culture and Creativity workshop, now in its third edition.
This edition is part of a scientific programme that will take place during 2023 on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the death of Walter Santagata, a pioneer of the Economics of Culture and for all of us a scientific and life teacher.
The workshop will be held at the Campus Luigi Einaudi of the University of Turin and will be hosted by the Department of Economics and Statistics “Cognetti de Martiis” and the UNESCO Chair for the Economics of Culture and Heritage.
PURPOSE
The workshop aims to be a space to discuss the role of culture in sustainable development and to explore how cultural organizations face the new challenges posed by the climate transition and the need to be economically, socially, environmentally, and culturally sustainable.
The purpose of the programme is to create a network of scholars in topics related to the economics and management of culture and creativity and to contribute to the current debate and emerging issues on the cultural and creative economy linked to sustainability.
The workshop welcomes theoretical and empirical papers from academics, researchers and students applying qualitative and/or quantitative methodologies.
THEMES
The workshop’s themes include but are not limited to:
- Culture, cultural policies, and sustainable development
- Institutional change and governance of cultural assets
- The role of cultural heritage and heritage communities in pursuing cultural, social and
environmental sustainability - Culture-led development and resilience in inland areas
- Cultural and creative industries, green transition and digital transformation
- Planning, evaluation and accountability in the cultural sector
- Museums and green transition
- Cultural and creative tourism and sustainability issues
The workshop includes two special plenary sessions. The first plenary session will open the workshop and is dedicated to celebrating the memory of the late professor Walter Santagata, thanks to three lectures that will explore the themes of cultural and creative industries, contemporary artistic creation, heritage management and the role of UNESCO. The second plenary session will conclude the workshop. The session is organized within the project “Empowering Italian GLAMs” and will discuss and compare European experiences in models of access and re-use of digital content of cultural heritage institutions.
