    Geolocalization

    Cultural policy, the creative industries and the arts have undergone a major transformation in the past thirty years — as a result of globalization and digitalization. The ecological question adds another level of transformation and complexity to this debate.

    In his inaugural lecture, and drawing on his own intellectual journey and the works that have shaped his thinking in recent decades, Frédéric Martel will describe this threefold transformation. He will analyze how it affects the art sector, the world of criticism and even our personal identities. He will thus seek to understand, from a safe distance, how his own point of view has evolved, on the one hand, from a standardizing, «mainstream» globalization and, on the other, from a utopian localism. He will suggest various tools with which to analyze these transformations and will outline avenues and opportunities for future research.

    On the Internet or around the world, we are not global, nor local – but «geolocalized», he concludes.
