> The Politicized Practice Research Group (PPRG) and Radar are  
> initiating a new events series devoted to the critical examination  
> and evaluation of social forms through which 'values' are produced,  
> perpetuated and extracted in contemporary society and economies, in  
> arts and culture. The sessions will invite a number of speakers and  
> thinkers from a range of disciplines to share their thoughts and  
> ideas on the subject of value. We will develop a particular focus on  
> contemporary art, also inviting artists who address questions of  
> value through, in and with their practice.
> The Questions of Value events aim to explore the variety of modes of  
> valorisation, through which certain objects, ways of living,  
> emotions, and even human beings are rendered as 'valuable' while  
> others are neglected as unwanted and disposable.  The series will  
> review and assess some of the contemporary debates and theories in  
> which the concept of 'value' is central, from economics and ethics  
> to mathematics and semiotics. The seminars will encompass a wide  
> range of subjects, including the semiotics of speculation and the  
> economics of financial capitalism, as well as contemporary forms of  
> appropriating and extracting value.
>
> In the first session of the series - we are delighted to welcome  
> Christophe Bruno, Neil Cummings, Open Music Archive, Toni Prug and  
> Stevphen Shukaitis to Loughborough to discuss questions of value  
> with a focus on - From Commons to Communomics: Resisting  
> Privatization. Christophe Bruno will unveil the mechanisms that  
> create and capture the value of symbols in semio-capitalism.  Neil  
> Cummings will investigate the notion of abundance of the commons  
> from a future perspective, imagining what kind of evaluative  
> structures will evolve if the dogma of scarcity and economic  
> restriction is abolished. Open Music Archive will present their  
> project 'Song division', which resists the enclosures of public  
> domain by copyright regimes and proprietary intellectual ownership.   
> Toni Prug will conceptualize communomics as based on an egalitarian  
> theory of value, encompassing modes of measuring the utilitarian  
> value of things and services without attaching a price tag to them.  
> Stevphen Shukaitis will talk about the class composition of the  
> metropolitan factory, locating the question of the commons in a  
> contemporary urban context.
>
> A New Series of Events at Loughborough University School of the Arts  
> in conjunction with the Politicized Practice Group and Radar

> Convened by: Corina Oprea and Kuba Szreder
