Creativity, Support and Sustainability

Conference of the European Sociological Association(ESA)
Research Network for the Sociology of the Arts

Lüneburg and Hamburg (Germany), March 28- April 1, 2007

The ESA Research Network for the Sociology of the Arts is organizing its 8th meeting at the end of March 2007 in Lüneburg (Germany), with additional events in near-by Hamburg. The main conference venue will be at the University of Lüneburg, close to the medieval old town. The conference will feature keynote lectures, plenary discussions, paper sessions, workshops, and round tables. Following the triad theme of the conference, "Creativity, Support, and Sustainability" , we will put an emphasis on those issues that are of sociological interest within arts worlds but also relate to those powerful developments in economy, ecology and ethic contexts on the macro level that influence, manipulate or determine production, content and forms, distribution and reception of the arts.
