Project Title: Tertium Quid: practices of creativity in Torino and Belfast
Supervisor: Prof. Rob Kitchin & Prof. Mark Boyle
Project Abstract:

European urban centers are being transformed into cultural hubs of excellence, creativity. Meshed with cultural policies concerned with social exclusion and urban inclusion, the shift towards cultural economies appears to collide with the reinforcement of social exclusion and urban degradation.
This project will attempt to understand and reflect on these dynamics through the lens of a Deleuzian theoretical framework that will illuminate the production and effects of cultural economies and the employ of creativity.
The research aspires to contribute to the understanding of the importance of a Deleuzian perspective in the field of urban, policy and governance research.
This is project is funded (2008-2011) by NIRSA and ISSP
