Call for papers for the IMISCOE seminar “Inclusion of immigrants in the cultural policy mainstream”

On 21 September 2015 IMISCOE will organise in Barcelona the seminar "Inclusion of immigrants in the cultural policy mainstream".
The event aims to draw attention upon the marginalization of immigrants' cultural products. It is now much easier for North-Western artists to gain international recognition than for other artists who have to move to one of the Western artistic metropolises, such as New York, Paris or Amsterdam, in order to attract wider interest in their works.
A change in cultural policies has only occurred recently, at the end of the 1990’s, to include migrants in the artistic mainstream. This new trend will be analysed and discussed within the IMISCOE seminar.
Papers covering the change of policies and cultural inclusion from the point of view of migrants, cultural institutions, municipalities and national policies are expected by 22 June 2015 at gritim@upf.edu and siresa.lopez@upf.edu, specifying "GRITIM-UPF / IMISCOE SEMINAR 2015" as e-mail subject. Proposals, written in English, shall include:
* Short CV (maximum 200 words)
* Institution and area of research
* Title (maximum 10 words)
* Abstract (maximum 450 words).
Submissions will be selected during the 12th IMISCOE Annual Conference, to be held in Geneva between June 25-27, 2015. Responses will be sent to applicants at the beginning of July.
