In 2015 and 2016, Transnational Dialogues will specifically research about the topic of marginality, seen from the duplex perspective of those who find themselves in and struggle to come out of it, and those who expressly look for it in order to escape from an unsatisfying mainstream condition of which they do not share the values. Among the different outputs, one of the more relevant is going to be a publication in English (with subsequent translations in Chinese and Portuguese), consisting of a comparative study of theories, practices and policies around marginality in the artistic and cultural fields across the three regions.
THIS APPLICATION IS NOW CLOSED.
Transnational Dialogues is now looking for two participants (Fellows) in the project who will join the editorial team of the publication. Their role would be to contribute to the general structure of the publication, propose and ask for contributions, evaluate and edit articles (especially those in their mother tongue), as well as supervise their translation into English. They will also share the responsibility of managing two of the sections of the publication, one dedicated to the self-management of cultural and artistic spaces and to institutional forms of the commons, while the other dedicated to innovation in public (governmental) policies at transnational, national, and local level with specific reference to social exclusion, youth and culture.
