This conference explores piracy as a figure navigating the conventions, norms and boundaries of legality in digital cultures and beyond. Offline and online piracies thrive on technological affordances yet they do so in opposition to corporate efforts - in music, film, publishing and academia - to label them as threatening for the economy and society.
This conference seeks to turn light to the current condition in which the dreams that creative economy bolstered are largely questioned (even by policy makers) while the modes of subjectivation and lifestyles that it activated remain still. This is the conflict of a larger (geo) political disturbance versus the emergence of a creative lifestyle of fashion, selfie-culture, DIY experimentation, slow and organic food movements and digital intimacies. This contrast predicts a creative lifestyle in limbo, where the promise of self-expression is put at stake by the expectation of precarious futures. Furthermore, while particular forms of self-expression (digital publishing, health, gastronomy and tourism mediatisation etc.) give birth to new technologies, devices and forms of content production, the media and communication industries seem less sufficient to find mature business models for them. To gauge the political economy of creativity in relation to the current situation we propose to explore the shifts and transformations of the creative imaginary, practices and business models taking shape as a result of the crisis.
