The symposium “Atelier Europa: Creative Labour in New Cultural
Economies”, is conceived of as an Anglo-German focused dialogue which
seeks to investigate the relationship between the cultural-political
conditions of the current social-democratic governments and the field
of self-organised cultural production. One aspect of this
investigation will be the current transformations and conflicts that
can be seen to reside within this relationship. The focus of the
conference will be on the patterns of work and life in the cultural
industries, ethnic and gender-specific roles and opportunities in the
area of culture, and the significance of value creation and economic
efficiency for cultural production. The general questions for
discussion will be “How can flexibility among cultural producers be
promoted without advocating the neo-liberal system? What is the
social use of creative labour?"
The symposium is part of the exhibition- and
researchproject
