The 11th University Network of the European Capitals of Culture (UNeECC) Conference aims at interdisciplinary dialogues about the key question: How can we understand and talk about the value of arts and culture? The Conference theme, 'Re-Value. Rethinking the Value of Arts and Culture', will be discussed in relation to European Capitals of Culture; but also broader, thus addressing a pressing need for new ways to evaluation, new ways to discuss this publicly and in relation to cultural policy.
The Conference will be held between 8 and 11 November 2017, in Aarhus University. Full details are available on the Conference website.
Papers: Abstract proposals for papers should be of no more than 200 words and a short bio (max 50 words). The organising committee encourages submissions of papers from all stages of the writing process: from an early stage in which a potential article is being considered and the associated ideas are in a more conceptual phase all the way through a more final stage in which an associated full article is nearing readiness for submission for journal consideration.
Panels: Proposals for a panel with 3-5 presenters, a chair and a discussant. These sessions provide a moderated dialogue between the contributors. In particular trans-disciplinary debate on a specific theme between academics, policymakers, and different practitioners is encouraged. A panel would consist of 3-4 presenters and a discussant. The proposals for panels include the confirmed contributions and abstracts (abstract of the panel: 250-300 words, abstracts of the presentations: 150-200 words)
Roundtable Discussions: Individual or groups of authors have an assigned table during a session to review and discuss the ideas, frameworks, and perspectives underlying their work with interested delegates who gather at the table. The proposed round-table discussion should include proposal of the topic discussed in 50-200 words.
Workshops: Interactive sessions in which skills or concepts are taught, demonstrated, or explored. Proposing a workshop includes a presentation of the aim of the workshop and the questions or tasks being address.
