Η αφίσα του Workshop (the poster PDF)

Το ευρωπαϊκό πρόγραμμα CODES συνιστά ένα διαπανεπιστημιακό πρόγραμμα (Erasmus+ key action 1: Strategic Partnerships), που υπό το συντονισμό του Πανεπιστημίου Lumière Lyon 2 της Γαλλίας, φέρνει σε συνεργασία ερευνητικές ομάδες πανεπιστημίων έξι ευρωπαϊκών χωρών (Γαλλία, Γερμανία, Ελλάδα, Ιταλία, Πορτογαλία, Ρουμανία), με σκοπό την άμεση σύνδεση του πανεπιστημίου με την κοινωνία και τον καθορισμό του ρόλου της εκπαίδευσης στη διαχείριση της διαφορετικότητας και της πολυπολιτισμικότητας.

Στο εργαστήριο θα λάβουν μέρος μέλη ΔΕΠ, εκπαιδευτικοί πρωτοβάθμιας και δευτεροβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης καθώς και δρώντες από τον χώρο των ΜΜΕ και τον ευρύτερο κοινωνικό χώρο. Μέσα από την ανοιχτή διάδραση-συζήτηση, θα επιχειρηθεί να προσεγγιστεί η διαφορετικότητα στις ποικίλες διαστάσεις της (διαπολιτισμικότητα, μεταναστευτικό-προσφυγικό, αναπηρία, φύλο, κ.α.) τόσο στο ακαδημαiκό εννοιολογικό πλαίσιο όσο και μέσα από το εφαρμοσμένο πεδίο άμεσων εκπαιδευτικών παρεμβάσεων και καλών πρακτικών.

Call for Papers

May '68, one of the largest mass movements in French history, laid the foundations for a culture of opposition to the dominant ethical class and challenged the establishment in the political, social and cultural fields, constituting a turning point in postmodern society.
In the process of searching for a new social reality, the perceptions of art were renegotiated and radical ideas emerged in relation to the perception and understanding of the postmodern art.
The association of ideology with art being the central issue, this conference focuses on the ways in which ideology becomes apparent in the theoretical concepts of art, artistic creation and the wider web of cultural production.

• Cultural policy
• The Role of Artists: Associations & Collectives

Call for papers

International Conference: The creative contagion. Media, industries, storytelling, communities

October 17-19, 2018 Panteion University, Athens (Greece)
Following the research in the field of cognitive anthropology, which considers that the brain is predisposed to accept certain ideas more than others, and thus to facilitate their contagion (Sperber, 1996), it seems that our institutions are well predisposed to appropriate the idea of creativity. Indeed, the notion of creativity has become, since the late 1990s, one of the key words of public policies and business strategies, and continues to spread. However, its implementation modalities often remain confusing and equivocal. The main objective of this conference is to question, in a critical and international perspective, the dissemination of this rhetoric, the political issues and socio-economic models concerned and emerging in distinct fields: cultural industries, creative industries, but also in other industrial sectors, public institutions and associations.

 The Department’s academic staff and students are actively involved in the area of communication and the Media, advertising, culture and the arts by

• publishing newspapers, journals, and other experimental print or digital material, 
• producing videos and short films, 
• organising competitions for start-up entrepreneurship and social innovation, 
• hosting a web radio (Spam web radio) and participating in radio programmes 
• organising exhibitions in museums or cultural centres, music events, film screenings 
• etc.

Since 2002, the Department is a founding member of the Communication Institute together with the Department of Communication and Mass Media of the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, the Department of Journalism and Mass Media of the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki and the Association of Advertising-Communication Corporations.

Since 2012, the Department and the Master’s Programme in “Cultural Management” participate in the European Network of Cultural Administration Training Centres (ENCATC).

Since 2015, the Cultural Informatics and Computational Cultural Studies Lab participates in the collaborative project gi-cluster of Corallia, which specialises in the creation of entertainment software.
