Cari tutti, segnalo, al seguente link http://www.esaculturebocconi2010.org/home.html , la call for papers della conferenza "Culture and the Making of Worlds" che si terrà in Bocconi il 7-9 ottobre 2010. Fra i molti temi che si intendono affrontare vi è anche quello dei cambiamenti nel modo di generare, diffondere e percepire la "cultura" che il progresso tecnologico determina. Riporto un passaggio specifico della call, che credo possa essere tra quelli di maggior interesse per coloro che partecipano alla lista: " How does the culture system change in contemporary societies? We are witnessing important transformations due to the increasing impact of new technologies, the increasing role of the media system, which affect the ways in which cultural artefacts can be produced and can acquire their own meanings and values. The creative process undergoes new patterns of production, recognition, distribution and reception. Creative industries acquire a new leading role, both in economics and civil society. The culture and arts systems are affected by new forms of articulation of public discourse, both in different national contexts and in the global arena. In contemporary societies a strong focus on images characterized different forms of cultural production and deeply change the way in which we are conceiving the world."
