Creative Industries in the 21st century

 

Helena Vasques de Carvalho | INET-md

 

The presentation aims to provide a diversified and critical approach to contemporary issues related to the production and reproduction of cultural forms. The seminar points out how the international cultural agenda, and economic perception of culture, shape and impact the cultural field and production in the global era, redefining the role of its actors and their place in society. Focused on interdisciplinary research, it addresses issues such as cultural value; culture, globalization, and production dynamics; arts versus cultural industries; and new approaches to cultural conceptualization.
 
The economic-driven perception of culture through the concept of creative industries, presents an ambiguous scenario for artists, for the justification of government financial support or implementation of cultural policies. But other interpretations of culture arise in contemporary studies, such as ´ecology of culture` (EU), cultural diversity (UNESCO), or CVM studies in the cultural field.
