Cultural Policy Research Conference in Istanbul
The Fifth International Conference on Cultural Policy Research (ICCPR)
Istanbul, Turkey
Dates: August 20 - 24, 2008
Location: Yeditepe University, Istanbul
The fifth International Conference on Cultural Policy Research (ICCPR 2008) aims to provide an outlet for an interdisciplinary exploration of the meaning, function, and impact of cultural policies. Cultural policy is understood as the promotion or prohibition of cultural practices and values by governments, corporations, other institutions and individuals. While considering a broad view of culture, encompassing a wide range of signifying practices that include the products of the media, the arts and various forms of government or religious display, ICCPR 2008 will attempt to maintain a focus on policies relating to culture as symbolic communication rather than culture in the anthropological sense as 'a whole way of life'. The historical range is not limited to any given period, but the ICCPR is primarily concerned with material that is relevant to the contemporary world.
Registration is open until August 23.

Pippa Bacca Remembered
A tragic story about Italian performance artist, Pippa Bacca, 33, and her murder by a Turkish driver who picked her up. Ms. Bacca and her colleague, Silvia Moro, 37, where hitchhiking from Italy to the Balkans down to the Middle East, both wearing white wedding dresses, to promote messages of peace and “marriage between different people and nations”. Ms. Moro last saw her friend in Istanbul on March 19, where they split up and agreed to meet in Beirut. Ms. Bacca’s naked body was found on April 11 in some bushes outside a Turkish village. Though no official death has been given, local authorities say Ms. Bacca appears to have been raped and strangled. Memorial services were help yesterday. I strongly encourage you to read the full article in the NYTimes and visit http://www.bridesontour.fotoup.net/ to learn more about Ms. Bacca and her work.
