This book explores how independent film and music artists and
labels use crowdfunding and where this use places crowdfunding in
the contemporary system of cultural production. It complements an
analysis of independence in film and music with the topic of
crowdfunding as a firmly established form of financing cultural
activity. In the second half of the 20th century, the concept of
artistic independence was vital to classifying and distinguishing
artists, their works, and labels or publishers who released them.
However, during the last three decades, this term has become
increasingly blurred, and some commentators argue that independence
is in crisis. Can crowdfunding be the answer to this crisis? Some
believe that it is, whereas others argue otherwise, seeing
crowdfunding instead as just the next manifestation of this crisis.
This dilemma is a starting point for the analyses of the
relationships between crowdfunding and artistic independence
conducted in this book, and will be of great interest to people
looking for a deeper understanding of crowdfunding, how it can
influence artistic independence, and what it means for artists and
audiences. It will be a stimulating read for scholars and students
with an interest in media and cultural studies, digital humanities,
fandom, sociology, economics, business studies, and law, while also
offering insights to artists and practitioners in the creative
industries.
