Internationale Konferenz „Peripherie.Macht.Kulturpolitik“
Internationale Konferenz „Peripherie.Macht.Kulturpolitik“
Eintägiges kulturpolitisches Symposium an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien
Das geplante eintägige Symposium stellt eine konsequente Weiterführung der Diskussion der letztjährigen Veranstaltung „Cultural Policies in Cities“ dar. Deren Beiträge haben die wachsende machtpolitische Bedeutung von Städten deutlich gemacht. Ihnen gegenüber stehen Räume abseits der großen Ballungsräume, die gezwungen sind, sich auch kulturell neu zu definieren. Diese Entwicklung betrifft aber auch die urbanen Zentren selbst, wenn deren Ränder – siehe die Vorstädte europäischer Hauptstädte – sich zunehmend vom zentralen Geschehen abkoppeln.
Die Veranstaltung am 22. April 2015 an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien möchte das Phänomen der Peripherie von verschiedenen Blickwinkeln aus betrachten. Immerhin lässt sich der Begriff nicht nur politisch, geographisch und soziologisch, darüber hinaus ästhetisch, in jedem Fall sowohl theoretisch als auch anhand kulturpolitischer Praktiken untersuchen.
Die Konferenz wird in englischer Sprache abgehalten.
