MSc ACM MAIN COURSES S2 - ACM - Culture and territory development

Contact time (in hours): 40 Total student workload: 120 ECTS:4 Semester: Spring

Module Director: BORIN Elena

Pre-requisites: None

Description: The course will expand of policy interventions and practices in territories where culture plays a key role. The use of urban regeneration will be examined paying particular attention to the effects (positive and negative) on the local area. The role of flagship interventions as an example of urban regeneration projects and city branding will be considered as well as the comparative between top-down and bottom-up strategies in regenerating the city. Case studies will be used to translate into practices some of the theories developed. Furthermore, creative sectors and their particularities will be explored approaching new collaborative models developed among these sectors in the city. From networks to governance issues, the course will focus on identifying innovative practices in companies, sectors, institutions and citizenship issues that aim to counteract the traditional norms and behaviors of urban actors. Finally, specific focus will be put on measuring the socio-economic impact of arts and creative initiatives and on cultural governance

Learning objectives: Students will be able to review and understand the characteristics of the cultural/creative economy and indicate why it is sensitive to local embedding. Local capacity building and the particularities of the cultural economy represent a productive strategy towards improving urban attractiveness and performance. Students will be able to understand both positive and negative potential effects of urban regeneration in the neighborhood/city. Moreover, they will be able to understand the main techniques to measure socio-economic impact of arts and creative sector and the main models of cultural governance

Methodology: The course will be mainly based in lectures and audio-visual material on the key concepts of the course and discussions around selected topics. To do that, students will go in depth into five main readings that will cover the theories and models analyzed in the classroom. These three readings are (to be updated): • Cohendet,P; D.Grandadam & L. Simon (2010): The Anatomy of the Creative City, Industry and Innovation, 17:1, 91-111 • Peck, J. (2005) Struggling with the creative class. International Journal of Urban and Regional Research. Volume 29, Issue 4, pages 740–770 • Pratt, A. (2015) Resilience, locality and the cultural economy.

MSc ACM MAIN COURSES S2 - ACM - Destination Governance and Cultural Tourism

Contact time (in hours): 20 Total student workload: 60 ECTS: 2 Semester: Spring

Module Director: BORIN Elena

Pre-requisites: None

Description: The course aims at providing an overview of the main concepts and techniques of destination governance and cultural tourism

During this course, the complex theme of destination governance will be addressed through seminars and case studies, with particular reference to the governance of cultural tourism destinations. A tourism destination is an important unit of analysis that could be considered as a cluster of interrelated stakeholders (Scott, et al., 2008a) that are jointly interacting with visitors and travelers. Among the main stakeholders of a destination there are accommodation businesses, companies providing commercial services, attractions, tour agencies, but also government authorities, tourism offices as well as representatives of the local inhabitants and communities. The interaction of these stakeholders could reach high degrees of complexity and dynamism. Developing a proper destination governance, interpreted as the governance of the relationships and interactions between multiple stakeholders, seems therefore essential to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of a tourism destination.

Learning objectives: Understand and discover the main principles related to the governance of destinations and the development of cultural tourism strategies.
