About the Artist
Jim Haldane was born in Hove in 1945 and studied Illustration at Brighton College of Art and then at the Royal
College of Art, where he was awarded an M.A. with distinction in 1968, one of only two that year and where he
was described by the then Head of the School as ‘one of the few exceptional students I have ever taught’ (TheTimes, January 21 1971), also winning the prestigious American Scholarship.
After several successful years as an illustrator in the 1970s, working for the likes of the Sunday Times, theObserver and such multinationals as Shell Oil (for whom he has illustrated their annual report), Jim decided that
he felt too constricted by commercially lead work and resolved to concentrate on fine art.
For the past twenty-five years Jim’s dedication to fine art has been unwavering and he has produced anenormous body of work which continues to break new ground in such diverse areas as acrylics and printmaking,where he has perfected a unique coloration technique.
Jim’s work sells all over the world yet at heart he is a local artist and finds inspiration in Brighton’s great anddiverse architecture as well as the changing moods of the sea.

Dear Delegates,

letter of welcome

Welcome to the city of Brighton & Hove, a vibrant and diverse centre of Arts and Culture.
Ever since the Prince Regent first visited in 1783, Brighton & Hove has been England’s most exciting seaside city, and today it’sas vibrant, eccentric and cosmopolitan as ever. As Mayor it’s my job to try and represent our city to others and its civic life to
the people who live here… quite a job, considering the depth and breadth of our offer.
Our city has a bohemian, artistic and eccentric atmosphere that can’t be found anywhere else in the UK. We combine themodern with the traditional and the outlandish with the everyday; tempting and treating visitors and residents alike with aunique cultural experience.
If you’ve never visited I urge you to get out and about and make the most of the rich cultural mix - Regency architecture,pleasure pier, specialist shops, pavement cafés, lively arts and of course the exotic Royal Pavilion. Everything’s in walking
distance, so take time to explore and enjoy what the city has to offer.
Our City–by-the-sea has a passion for creativity, a desire to look at things differently, and a friendliness that attracts visitors fromall over the world. Whether it’s the sea air that changes your perspective or the lively North Laine that buzzes day and night,
I am sure that Brighton & Hove has got that special something that will inspire.
I wish you every success with your conference and hope you have a long and enjoyable stay.

Councillor Lynda Hyde
Mayor of the City of Brighton & Hoveiii

IAFOR has built a tradition of hosting truly international, intercultural and interdisciplinary conferences. People working in agreat range of cultures, contexts, and academic areas come together to share their perspectives on common human issues.
The result is invariably a unique experience of learning and sharing and making new contacts for future collaboration, and I do
expect us to continue in this tradition.
This conference, the fourth in a series of four, will bring together scholars and practitioners covering Arts & Humanities,
Cultural Studies, Literature & Librarianship, Film, Media, and Mass Communication and we hope that you will enjoy the richand diverse program over the next few days together.
If you enjoy this event, then I would encourage you to explore other IAFOR conferences, including announced events in the

Keynote Presentation: ‘Language Grows Out of Life’ And Makes a New One (A Comparative Study of English andRussian Languages and Cultures)
Language reflects life, this is common knowledge: language is a mirror of anthropological culture, which is a way of life.
This is its “passive” function. But what is more important nowadays: language also makes or creates both life and thepeople who use the language as a means of communication. This is its active function.
In this paper both functions which are, of course, indissolubly connected will be illustrated by the material of bothlanguages under study: English and Russian. Consequently, the difference between the national characters formed by
the languages will be seen quite clearly. The illustrations will be given from both vocabulary and, mostly, grammar. The
latter seems to be more interesting because it is better hidden and not so straightforward and obvious as the former.
The paper deals with both linguistic and cultural studies which are intertwined, interdependent, and charged withlanguage and anthropological culture to the utmost possible degree.

These issues will be illustrated, firstly, to show the part the English language and the British culture play in forming theEnglish/British national character and, secondly, to demonstrate how in the era of globalization the English language andAmerican culture influence and recreate languages and cultures of the speakers of other languages. The illustrations
will be given from the two above-mentioned worlds: the English-speaking and the Russian-speaking ones.

Featured Presentation: The Power of the Individual - The Media Business vs Digital Democracy
When a specific event dominates mainstream media discourse, hero, villain and victim characters are typically created.
As the story plays out, complex and challenging social issues are distilled and recast around who these individuals are,their actions and what they represent.
Such stories have the power to change public perception, challenge government and shape policy – the portrayal ofthese individuals forces us to make moral judgements on society.
Yet mainstream media outlets are often predisposed to sensationalism, honing in on specific individuals andcircumstances to suit their audiences. As such, the social lens can become skewed, generating false positives whilst
underplaying meaningful cultural trends.
In the UK, excessive media power has necessitated a recent government inquiry to recommend a more potent
regulatory system. Meanwhile, social media and citizen journalism are at levels of public adoption which now command
real agenda-setting potential.
This talk will examine what this new balance of power might mean for the public consciousness, media institutions andgovernment. He will present the argument that the role of the individual has never been more important or influential– especially when it comes to reframing our perception of society.

cinema, they do not stray too far from the dominant, classical mode of filmmaking perpetuated by the commercial film
industry. Indeed, for most of his career, Coppola has been alternately at odds with and indebted to the power elitesof the Hollywood establishment. Yet despite his blockbuster successes, his dream has been to produce smaller, more
personal, independent films, closer to the art-house tradition than to the classical Hollywood model. In recent years,
Coppola finally has attained the economic freedom to make films on his own terms, without having to bow to thecommercial dictates of “the system.”
In 2007, after a ten-year hiatus from directing (which followed an equally extended period of “work for hire”), Coppolareclaimed artistic control over his films, taking on a low-budget, independent approach to production. This new,“student-filmmaking” phase, as Coppola only half-jokingly calls it, commenced with Youth Without Youth, adapted froma novella by noted Romanian linguist Mircea Eliade. The story, about a septuagenarian professor (Tim Roth) whose
youth is miraculously restored after he is struck by lightning, clearly parallels Coppola’s own situation as an aging artist
who still feels (and thinks) like a young man. Roth’s character also finds himself imbued with supernatural powers,
which not only aid him in fending off shady political operatives who want to discover his secrets, but also lead him
through a personal, spiritual reawakening. Although not an original script, Youth Without Youth nonetheless offers acompelling example of the sort of personally-inflected filmmaking that Coppola has always wanted to pursue; andhis return to the kind of low-budget mode of production that he has not practiced since the late 1960s has, curiously,
allowed him to reassert his artistic prowess.
There will be screeing of Francis Coppola’s Youth Without Youth on Tuesday, July 14 (16:15 - 18:45) in the Renaissance Suite

The IAFOR Documentary Photography Award Presentation
This year the International Academic Forum (IAFOR) launched the first annual IAFOR Documentary PhotographyAward. This new award seeks to promote and assist in the professional development of emerging documentary
photographers and photojournalists. Documentary has a rich history of exposing truths, telling stories, raisingawareness and creating discussion — all practices valued at IAFOR.
The award, judged by a panel of leading professionals in the field of documentary photography and photojournalism,
including Paul Lowe, Simon Norfolk and Emma Bowkett, follows the theme of the conference, with 2015’s theme
being “Power”.
Photography can have the power to manipulate memories, encourage thought and stimulate emotion, it also has thepower to do these things across languages and cultures. The skilled photographer must hold power over their cameraand manipulate the power dynamic between photographer and subject. Pointing a camera at someone can be seen
as an act of power in itself.

launched in 2008. Paul is an award-winning photographer, whose work is represented by Panos Pictures, and who has

others. He has covered breaking news the world over, including the fall of the Berlin Wall, Nelson Mandela’s release,famine in Africa, the conflict in the former Yugoslavia and the destruction of Grozny.

The study and analysis of different expressions of power can move from serious existential questions at the personallevel to complex social and even political problems at a wider level. Photography can depict the powerful andthose moments when they fall from power, but it can also expose the powerless to the world. The dynamics of Keynote Presentation &power resulting from wealth and status make rich documentary subject as do the struggles for power among the Award Ceremony
disadvantaged and marginalized. Power is also exerted in issues of censorship and publishing — which photographs
make the front pages and which cannot be published?

Keynote Presentation: Global Circulation and Some Problems in Liberalism, Liberalisation, and Neoliberalism
Beginning with Victorian legacies of “Progress” and human under-determination, the lecture interrogates theconnections between liberalism as open-mindedness and tolerance of diversity, liberalisation as modernisation andthe opening up of cultures, and neoliberalism as the reduction of all values to those of the market. With examples fromworld-historical literatures from China, India, Latin America, and the Middle East, it considers engagement with western
liberalisms and some recent conflicts between liberalism and neoliberalism.

Her books have shaped the study of Victorian and modern culture with highly influential workon decadence, aesthetics and aestheticism, lifewriting and subjectivity, economics, individualism, and globalization. Idyllsof the Marketplace: Oscar Wilde and the Victorian Public (Stanford, 1986) considered the role of the artist in market
society. Subjectivities: A History of Self-Representation in Britain 1832-1920 (Oxford, 1991) analyzed the relation ofsocial class and gender to literary form. The Insatiability of Human Wants: Economics and Aesthetics in Market Society(Chicago, 2000) traced the moment when aesthetics and economics shifted from substantive to formal models andproduction to consumption. Individualism, Decadence and Globalization: on the Relationship of Part to Whole 18591920 (Palgrave Macmillan 2010) explored the relation of the individual to increasingly larger social units, from the dyad
to the world citizen. Her current research is on the global circulation of the literatures of liberalism and liberalization.

IAFORThe International Academic Forum
Academic Vision and Mission“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The vision of IAFOR grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activities of the academic
world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum existed because of the lack ofopportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners
in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists,
educational managers (political decision-makers and organizational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT,
library work, exchange programs, and specialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact?
Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritize in the 21st century? What
do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well being? How can people on the ground, trying to implement
improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above all, what are the agendas that will drive
mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively.
One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at one of our conferences was the recognition that some of therhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term “poverty” because it can be
defined only in a relative way. “Hunger” was put forward as being more immediate and itself a contributory factor to poverty, rather
than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could be the provision of safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in somecontexts, while flood management might be necessary elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they
help to relieve hunger in specific contexts.
IAFOR is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Kansai, Japan’s great commercial and manufacturing hub,
one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that is already eclipsing the long dominant Atlantic zone. Our conferences present
those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, it encourages interdisciplinary activity to be expanded.
Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those
overly dependent on fixed academic structures often see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in IAFOR. Its
purpose is to generate new approaches that cross any disciplinary lines. The principle employed is to let the imagination permit
intuitive responses to questions. There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The model ofacademic work as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need for solid and well-founded
academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh approaches to old questions.
Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, we encourage innovation through cross-cultural perception.
Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realize or admit. The need to see and internalize insights
gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination.
Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a globalized world, but in reality parochialism still holds
sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the re-establishment of numerous former countries. While
this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds to the world’s cultural confusion. Exchange leads to explanation andthat helps the growth of intercultural awareness.
IAFOR makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. Our conferences are not a substitute for specialist conferences.
We intend our events to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to the extreme tendencies that can arise
from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, IAFOR is promoting and facilitating a new multifaceted approach to oneof the core issues of our time, namely globalization and its many forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts acrossthe worlds of business, and academia, along with its impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given
the organization its momentum, and is making it a pioneer in this global age.

to make all of our published materials available online.
Journals FAQ

IAFOR’s Open AccessPublishing Committment
IAFOR is committed to providing
ALL of its publications in online form
for no fee.
Researchers and scholars, regardlessof institutional affiliation and status,
can access our academic journals,
monographs, magazine, conferencematerials and special publications forno charge, wherever there is internet
access.
IAFOR will never ask authors tocontribute towards publication costs,
or engage in other such publishingpractices which we believe undermine
academic independence and integrity.

How are journal editors appointed?
Journal Editors are appointed by the International Academic Forum’s leadership, under the guidanceof the Chairman of the International Advisory Board. The term of appointment is for one issue, tobe renewed by mutual consent.
How do we ensure academic integrity?
Once appointed, the editor is free to appoint his or her own editorial team and advisory members.
All papers published in the journal have been subjected to the rigorous and accepted processesof academic peer review. Neither editors nor members of the editorial team are remunerated fortheir work. Authors will never be asked to “contribute” towards publication costs.
How are papers selected?
Journal Editors may accept papers through an open call, and proposed articles may be sent directly
to the respective editors. A small number of papers from the associated IAFOR conference
proceedings may also be selected by the journal editor(s) for reworking and revising subject tonormal processes of review. It is expected that between 5 and 10 percent of papers included inany given conference proceedings will be developed for inclusion in the associated conference
journal.
How are IAFOR Journals related to IAFOR conferences?
IAFOR’s journals reflect the interdisciplinary and international nature of our conferences andare organized thematically. Papers included in the associated conference proceedings may beconsidered for reworking by the editor(s), and would then be subjected to the same processes ofpeer review as papers submitted by other means.

reworked, and contain references, but are otherwise true to the original address. Many can also
be seen in video format on our YouTube page. Whether you were present at the conferenceor not, the keynotes are thoughtful addresses by senior academics, the content of which may
help your research.

Special Series & Monographs
The International Academic Forum is publishing a number of special
