While the\nnotion of culture is again central to political debates, it is often confined\nwithin a territorial, ethnic or identitarian framework. The aim of the report\nis to trouble this tendency by drawing attention to relevant interdisciplinary\nstudies of culture and cultural practice, with special consideration given to\nissues of mobility and migration. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Increasing\nspatio-temporal ambiguity has not only prompted a wide array of emergent\ncultural practices, but has also given rise to new challenges in the study of\ncultures and cultural movement(s). Following Williams\u2019 (1981) critique of strictly\nobservational and classificatory cultural research, the report acknowledges the\npolitical, historical, and disciplinary complications associated with the study\nof evolving, cross-boundary cultural formations \u2018in-the-making.\u2019 Thus, the\nquestion becomes not only how new conceptual frameworks may contribute to\nintensified critical reflection and deepened understanding, but also if and how\ncultural research may affect cultural policy and everyday urban social\nsustainability efforts. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to a K3 seminar with Maria Hellstr\u00f6m Reimer, Professor in Design, Erin Cory, Senior Lecturer in Media and Communication Studies, and Per M\u00f6ller, Lecturer in Media and Communication Studies, all K3.
