This event will be held at the Ateneo de Manila University (Philippines) on Nov. 22 and 23, 2018. The organizers are pleased to announce a call for papers for this event.

Specifically, it looks at the way governments, businesses, and industries respond to or interact within, the changing nature of the culture and media markets where information technology and social media alter the way content is being produced, delivered, and consumed. From a broader perspective, this conference is an opportunity to cultivate a network of researchers working on issues related to today's cultural industries. There will be two main themes: 1/ Globalization and culture Over the past twenty years, cultural industries from different parts of the world have expanded significantly across the globe. While this has brought about opportunities for some, others face difficulties and are reluctant to change. This theme aims to analyze the ways in which cultural industries and national governments have responded to these current challenges, and to new cultural production, promotion, and consumption. 2/ Digitization and culture Digitization in the cultural industries has fundamentally changed the way in which products are distributed and consumed. Those who have recognized these changes early on and adapted accordingly have enjoyed great success. This session will seek to assess various business, government, and/ or third party responses to the dramatic changes brought on by digitization. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: • Impact assessment of globalization and digitization on culture and its industries • The impact of the Internet and smart devices for culture and its industries • Transnational collaborations in the digitalization and promotion of cultural commodities • Changes in demand and supply in the cultural industries • Consumers’ reception and its fluctuation brought on by globalization and/or digitization of culture • The rise of social media as an important medium for transferring and consuming culture • Changes in government policies for promoting culture and its industries • New generation/alternative models (including research methodology and theory development) in globalization and digitization of culture • Cultural-related business practices in the era of globalization and digitization • Comparative studies of cultural digitalization between countries *References* Ainslie, M.J., Lipura, S.D., and Lim, J. 2017.
