Postgraduate course in cultural innovation: arts, digital media and popular culture
Organized jointly by UOC-Universitat Oberta de Catalunya and LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial The postgraduate course in cultural innovation: arts, digital media and popular culture provides the basic concepts needed to understand and analyse the changes and transformations related to culture and society as well as knowledge about new artistic and contemporary cultural productions that have been transformed by information and communication technologies, the dynamism of cultural industries and globalization. This postgraduate programme will integrate different analytic perspectives to understand and improve the relation between culture and society, technology, the economy, the communication media and the arts. To achieve this, we will examine the most relevant case studies and will collaborate with specialists from the art world, as well as experts in culture, research, the media and industry, analyzing in real time those elements that we examine on the theoretical, methodological and practical level. The programme fits in with professional studies in the arts and humanities as well as with advanced communication studies, but it also has a clear connection with creative industries and cultural management. This course is intended as much for those who want to study the arts and culture of today as well as professionals and artists working in the field of the arts, culture, communication media and creative industries. <http://www.laboralcentrodearte.org/seminarios/proximos/26?contenido_id=227> Click here to check the programme Directorate and Professors Advisory Board Derrick de Kerckhove, former Director of the McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology, Toronto; Professor, University of Toronto and Faculty of Sociology at the University of Naples Federico II Roger Malina, Executive Editor, Leonardo/International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology, San Francisco; Director, Observatoire Astronomique de Marseille Provence, Co-director of the art-science program of IMERA Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies José-Carlos Mariátegui, investigator, London School of Economics, London; founder, ATA-Alta Tecnología Andina and Escuelab.org, Lima Christiane Paul, Director of Media Studies Graduate Programs and Associate Professor of Media Studies, The New School, New York; Adjunct Curator, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York Rosina Gómez-Baeza, Director, LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial Benjamin Weil, Chief Curator, LABoral, Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, Gijón Academic directorate Dr. Pau Alsina, doctor in Philosophy (UB), Professor of Art and Humanities Studies at the UOC-Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, researcher in the group GRECS on Culture and Society and director of the magazine Artnodes on art, science and technology Professors, <http://www.laboralcentrodearte.org/seminarios/proximos/26?contenido_id=228> click here Information and registration Edition: 1st edition Starting date: October 20, 2010 Duration: 1 year Number of credits: 30 Virtual Campus language: Spanish Teaching language: Spanish (some complementary use of English) Fee: 2,335 Euros More information at: www.laboralcentrodearte.org / <http://laboralcentrodearte.uoc.edu> http://laboralcentrodearte.uoc.edu Registration: <http://www.uoc.edu/masters/esp/web/_matriculacion/index.html> http://www.uoc.edu/masters/esp/web/_matriculacion/index.html Thanks, Best, LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial Los Prados, 121 33394 Gijón Asturias España T: + 34 985 133 924 F: + 34 985 337 355 www.laboralcentrodearte.org <http://www.laboralcentrodearte.org/>
