Adopting a geographically diverse and theoretically rigorous
approach, this Handbook on the Geographies of Creativity is a
cutting-edge study of creativity as it has emerged in policy,
academic, activist, and cultural discourse over the last two
decades. A range of sectors are explored with in-depth engagement
and understanding, including: dance, music, craft, visual art,
circus arts and fashion. This Handbook departs from conventional
modes of analysing creativity by industry, region or sector, and
instead identifies key themes that thread through shifting contexts
of the creative, namely creativity as imaginary, locality,
mobility, labour, culture, intervention and method. By tracing the
myriad spatialities of creativity, the chapters map its inherently
paradoxical features: reinforcing persistent conditions of
inequality even as it opens avenues for imagining and enacting more
equitable futures. The conceptual framework proposed for critically
appraising present debates and articulating future directions for
creative and cultural industries will be useful for scholars and
academics researching culture, media and design. Policy makers and
professionals working in creative and cultural industries (CCIs)
will find the wide range of case studies in this Handbook an
essential tool for further understanding the field. Contributors
