"Creative industries in China" provides a fresh account of China's
emerging commercial cultural sector. The author shows how
developments in Chinese art, design and media industries are
reflected in policy, in market activity, and grassroots
participation. Never has the attraction of being a media producer,
an artist, or a designer in China been so enticing. National and
regional governments offer financial incentives; consumption of
cultural goods and services have increased; creative workers from
Europe, North America and Asia are moving to Chinese cities;
culture is increasingly positioned as a pillar industry. But what
does this mean for our understanding of Chinese society? Can
culture be industrialised following the low-cost model of China's
manufacturing economy. Is the national government really committed
to social liberalisation? This engaging book is a valuable resource
for students and scholars interested in social change in China. It
draws on leading Chinese scholarship together with insights from
global media studies, economic geography and cultural studies.
