The symposium “Atelier Europa: Creative Labour in New Cultural

Economies”, is conceived of as an Anglo-German focused dialogue which

seeks to investigate the relationship between the cultural-political

conditions of the current social-democratic governments and the field

of self-organised cultural production. One aspect of this

investigation will be the current transformations and conflicts that

can be seen to reside within this relationship. The focus of the

conference will be on the patterns of work and life in the cultural

industries, ethnic and gender-specific roles and opportunities in the

area of culture, and the significance of value creation and economic

efficiency for cultural production. The general questions for

discussion will be “How can flexibility among cultural producers be

promoted without advocating the neo-liberal system? What is the

social use of creative labour?”
