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.
