Erasmus University Rotterdam
In anticipation of a panel session by the HERA-Pleasurescapes research project at the 2020 EAUH conference, a pre-conference workshop is organized to already start a stimulating conversation on the histories of entertainment culture and transnational forces of integration in European cities. In addition to paper presentations by scholars that are invited for EAUH, the Erasmus Mundus International Master ‘Global Markets, Local Creativities’ (GLOCAL) supports the workshop through a keynote presentation. The day ends with a visit to a port city-related art exhibition, ‘New Neapolis’, on display in Rotterdam’s contemporary art centre TENT.
