Call for Papers - Critical Arts: South-North Cultural and Media Studies

Critical Arts: South-North Cultural and Media Studies
"Cultural Literacies in Transition"
Guest editor: Kris Rutten

For this special issue, they seek contributions that explore how cultural literacies are currently /defined/, /practiced/, /contested/ and /negotiated/ in relation to different contexts by focusing on the following discussions:

-What is currently considered to be valuable knowledge about culture, art, and aesthetics? How is this knowledge being challenged and how is it redefined? What does this imply for art education and for the curriculum in general?

-How are the societal functions of culture and the arts framed in the public and academic debate? What are the societal and educational values that are attributed to knowledge about and engagement with the arts?

-How is the role of cultural and art institutions changing as traditional mediators of knowledge about culture and the arts? What new forms of art mediation are emerging or how can such new forms be conceptualized?
