Andy’s new publication in Italian

Andy has just had a paper published, co-authored with Marianna D’Ovidio who is based at Dip. Sociologia e Ricerca Sociale, Università Milano – Bicocca.

The paper ‘Which culture for the creative city?’ contributes to a particular debate in Milan at the moment. Milan hosts the World Expo in 2015 and this paper, based on a seminar held earlier this year, debates the challenges for culture in this heightened global race for the ‘creative crown’.

If you don’t read Italian (and regrettably Andy doesn’t) some of the issues are also covered in another paper Andy has written: Pratt, A. C. 2011. The cultural contradictions of the creative city. City, Culture and Society 2 (3):123-130.

The free down load is Pratt, A. C., and M. D’Ovidio. 2014. Quale cultura per la città creativa. Milano: Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli.
