Taking its cue from debates surrounding the contested character of value in artistic production, this one-day symposium presents an interdisciplinary take on the issue by bringing together scholarship from the fields of anthropology, art and critical theory, Marxism and economics. Some of the areas that the participants will address include the following:
Aesthetic value and processes of urban regeneration
Speculation and art production
Ethical values and economies of affect
Emotional labour, entrepreneurialism and self-precarization
Technologies of value and digital media
Neo-medievalism and hyper-economies
