New Directions in Research: Substance, Method and Critique

11 January 2007 – 12 January 2007, United Kingdom

Final Cultural Industries Seminar For the last seminar in the AHRB's Cultural Industries Seminar series, which began in December 2003, the organisers thought it would interesting to review some of the ground that has been covered and to pose issues and questions that will contribute to the development of future research agendas. To those ends contributors to the seminar will address questions of policy and investment, including human capital, the adequacy of economic accounts of the culture industries, the relations of the culture industries to broader economic processes, and even the usefulness of the notion of culture industry itself. There will probably be occasions to re-consider Adorno and Horkheimer's original ironic use of the term. Speakers at the seminar include Trine Bille, Copenhagen Business School, David Hesmondhalgh, The Open University, and David Throsby, Macquarie University. For more information, CLICK HERE
