2016 School of Media and Design 

3^rd Cultural Economy International Summer School

Overview

Cultural Economy International Summer School is a creative graduate education project organized by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Monash University. It aims at upgrading graduate teaching and training quality, enhancing students’ academic know-how and research competence, promoting international collaboration among students and faculties, and expanding international vision of postgraduate programs. This project is founded in 2014. It is well recognized home and overseas.

The 3^rd Cultural Economy International Summer School has “Cultural Economy, City and Media” as the theme. Re-visiting concept of culture led urban gentrification in Shanghai, we explore the types of urban spaces key to process of developing cultural economy. From blockbuster projects like the museums and art galleries in the CBD to quirky places such as co-working and hacker space, we are interested in the diverse answers to the question of culture as development. Some of the challenges and opportunities will be examined. In addition to this, we aim to explore the relationship between media and the city. This includes the types of spaces where media production takes place; the role of media representation; and the configuration of ‘public sphere’ for the cultural imaginary of Shanghai since the late 20^th Century.  These questions will be discussed within a wider historical and theoretical context by leading international experts in the field.

Of equal importance will be meeting creative professionals working both inside and outside these official cultural programs. What lessons can we draw from the evolution of the Shanghai Creative Industries Development Model - the ‘creative clusters’ – what have gone wrong? What have succeeded? The complexity in governing and sustaining the urban cultural economy in Shanghai – for example, how can we balance the role of cultural production and consumption in the city through controlling rents? Can these development models be compared to the ‘West’? We try to answer this by exploring the role of ‘media’ – the production of media/media industry; the independent production and the state run media industries; the consumption of media as it is immersed in urban spaces.  The students will also speak to local policy makers and experts about these issues, as well as actually visiting cultural sites involved.

This summer school will again link up local students with Monash (Melbourne, Australia) students from the Master of Cultural Economy, along with international staff and local guest lecturers. Alongside a comprehensive programme of lectures we will guest presenters from the local cultural sector and guided field trips and supervised field work in the cultural economy of Shanghai.

文化产业国际暑期学校简介

“文化产业国际暑期学校”是由上海交通大学、澳大利亚蒙纳士大学联合举办的研究生教育创新计划项目。该项目的目的在于提高研究生的教学和培养质量，增强研究生的专业知识与科研能力，推动研究生与国外一流大学教师和学生的合作和学术交流，提高研究生培养的国际化水平和视野。

依据当前中国国内文化产业发展状况，结合社会热点问题，每期暑期学校均设定有不同的主题。师生将就文化项目相关问题与政府决策部门和有关专家进行讨论，走访不同的文化景点，在国际知名专家的指导下进行深入考察。

时间与地点

时间：2016年7月4日-2016年7月15日

地点：上海交通大学徐汇校区

项目内容及形式

本届暑期学校的主题是“文化经济，城市与媒介”，将重新审视以文化为工具的“城市重建”概念。城市中心一直以来都是文化经济发展的热点，从大型美术馆的建造到小型文化作坊在社区中的出现，都是对城市中文化生产与消费关系平衡的表现。文化作为近几年来城市发展的核心动力，是文化经济研究领域最重要的概念之一。通过中西方案例比较，学员们将重新认识城市文化经济可持续发展的挑战和机遇。本次的暑期学校还特别关注媒体与城市的关联，包括媒体生产的空间形态以及媒体“公共空间”概念与文化产业的结合。学员将有机会与文化产业工作者进行近距离的沟通与交流，共同探讨文化生产，文化政策和文化消费等问题以及这些问题在与城市发展碰撞过程中产生的种种不同的空间形态 。

采取的项目形式有：专家讲座、研讨会、工作坊和文化采风。
