Cultural Recycling from the Arts: Hybridizations and Transculturality

Recycling is the process by which elements or parts of a certain product or work are used and that, although they fulfilled a certain purpose, continue to be used for later purposes. In culture, we also see this “art of recycling” when verbal, mental and visual images that exist in expressions, receptions and interpretations of the plastic arts and other manifestations associated with emerging technologies in the digital age facilitate the creation of a new work, resulting in that, on many occasions, the intentionality of the original director is translated in favor of what the “new performer” wants to tell or relate.

In this way, with the main theme Cultural Recycling from the Arts: Hybridizations and Transculturality, the III International Conference of Arts and Cultures seeks academic exchange between specialized university research centers interested in the study of cultural recycling, with special interest in hybridizations and transculturality. National borders and disciplinary dialogues have become more permeable, due to phenomena such as the increase in migratory movements, the movement of more people throughout the world and, in the last three decades, the development of new communication technologies, such as the Internet and virtual social networks. For this reason, the Conference is a forum to study the adaptation and rearrangements of the cultural products of the various cultural identities of the globalized world to these transformations.

Topics of this edition

  • inter and transdisciplinary dialogues between the different manifestations of the arts, to generate hybridized productions.
  • the nation in transnational visual discourse.
  • the relationship between image and power from a transnational perspective.

Scientific Coordination

IUT of Dijon-Auxerre

The Dijon-Auxerre University Institute of Technology (IUT), a center attached to the University of Burgundy, was founded in 1968. It currently has more than 40 professional training courses spread over 10 study departments. In total, 2,500 students are currently taking their training at the IUT in Dijon-Auxerre, of which 550 are on work-study (dual training). The training is delivered on 6 campuses: Dijon, Auxerre, Mâcon, Tournus, Sens and Nevers. Scientific research is also a fundamental part of the activity of the institution, in fact, at the IUT there are 70 professor-researchers assigned to some fifteen laboratories. Every year, around 100 students complete an internship or semester abroad at one of the 80 partner universities.

Université de Bourgogne

The University of Burgundy (uB) is a French university located in Dijon (Burgundy) and founded in 1722. The university offers a wide range of training in all disciplines: law, economics, management, literature, languages, medicine, pharmacy, science human, exact and experimental sciences and at all levels (Degree, Master, Doctorate). Scientific research is the DNA of the University of Burgundy: it houses more than 1,500 professor-researchers distributed in 30 research units. The University of Burgundy also dedicates almost a third of its budget to research. The uB welcomes some 30,000 students every year as well as 2,000 employees or job seekers in the framework of continuous training. Owner of a vineyard and an experimentation center, she offers complete courses in Vine Sciences and Enology, taught at the Jules-Guyot Institute. Since June 2019, the establishment, together with 6 other universities, has been a member of the FORTHEM European alliance.

Research Group CECILLE

CECILLE is a research group (Center d’Études en Civilizations Langues et Lettres Étrangères) belonging to the University of Lille in France. One of the foundations of the CECILLE research group lies in its transdisciplinarity. A good example of this is its cross-cutting axes characterized by specific methodologies: literature, civilization, history of ideas, genre(s), and translation/translation studies; and its five geographical areas, which complement and enrich each other thanks to the flexibility of its collaborators (punctual and frequent), whether these are local (in relation to other research groups); national (since many of the axes are related with Groups of Scientific Interest such as the Institute of the Americas, the Gender Institute and the Institute “Religions – Practices, texts, powers”, or international, in which case cooperation and contact networks are favored by the domain of multiple foreign languages, another of the features that federate and energize the research group.

AlucinArte: Arte como expresión política de los jóvenes en el contexto de las marchas en Colombia

My passion since I was a child for the stories told in film, television and photography, led me to study Social Communication at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Colombia), and then Film and Television Direction at the Southern Illinois University (USA). I was linked to the television medium for more than 20 years. I have postgraduate studies in University Teaching and Edumatics, and a Doctorate in Educational Philosophy from the National Pedagogical University (Colombia), where I worked on the subject of social networks, transmedia and education. Until the end of 2013 I was director of Labcom (Laboratory for research and experimentation in digital culture) of the Institute of Social and Cultural Studies – Pensar – Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, and then I served as Dean of the Faculty of Education of the Fundación Universitaria Unipanamericana-Compensar . For several years I was a media and ICT pedagogical consultant at the Telecommunications Research Center – CINTEL in projects for the Ministry of Education (MEN) and the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies (MINTIC). Currently I am a Professor-Researcher on the subject of Transmedia narratives at the Faculty of Communication Sciences of the University – UNIMINUTO (Bogotá-Colombia). where I lead a 5-year longitudinal research project with 6 national and two international universities called “Polyphonies: Young people’s political thought through transmedia narratives.” I am also a professor in the Doctoral Programs in Education and the Knowledge Society of the La Salle University (Colombia) and of the Doctoral program of the National Pedagogical University (Colombia) I have written several articles on the subject of education and tics, cyberculture, Transmedia communication and social networks.
