In this course you will learn to
- analyse and interpret the interdisciplinary field of the creative industries from several theoretical perspectives: cultural and aesthetic theory, public policy, and social sciences
- you will develop specific skills for observing, analysing, describing and critiquing the way in which different sectors of the creative industry – the arts, media, fashion, design, tourism, cultural heritage – process the input of human creativity, produce symbolic meanings, and create social and economic value.

Central to the creative industries is the vexed notion of culture. After an initial exploration of ‘culture’, the course proceeds to trace the recent history of the creative industries. Policy changes will be studied within the context of globalization and technological transformation. Other key concepts are the organisation of markets, labour, and intellectual property, within what has been called the creative economy or the experience economy. Finally, the course will address issues of social justice, diversity and quality. In studying key issues and paradigm shifts in the creative industries, students will become familiar with debates, changes and continuities that have informed this very diverse field.
