This conference seeks possibilities for a new policy agenda for the
cultural economy, defined broadly as that set of practices, institutions
and ‘imaginaries’ involved in the production and consumption of culture.
The easy, “win-win” links made between culture and economy are no longer so
straightforward in a post-GFC world of climate-change. Rather than seeking
‘economic impact’, a radical agenda for the cultural economy might
re-assert its ethical-political imperative to challenge the injustices and
dysfunctions of the ‘economic’. How might new approaches to the cultural
economy help us re-frame cultural policy for the next decade?
