Entertainment Industries is the first book to map entertainment
as a cultural system. Including work from world-renowned analysts
such as Henry Jenkins and Jonathan Gray, this innovative collection
explains what entertainment is and how it works.
Entertainment is audience-centred culture. The Entertainment
Industries are a uniquely interdisciplinary collection of evolving
businesses that openly monitor evolving cultural trends and work
within them. The producers of entertainment central to that
practice are the new artists. They understand audiences and combine
creative, business and legal skills in order to produce cultural
products that cater to them.
Entertainment Industries describes the characteristics of
entertainment, the systems that produce it, and the role of
producers and audiences in its development, as well as explaining
the importance of this area of study, and how it might be better
integrated into Universities.
This book was originally published as a special issue of
Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies.
