Culture no longer has borders. With the advent of internet sites like Sothebys.com and the increasing reality of globalisation, culture itself has gone global. This collection focuses on questions involving national identity, indigenous culture, economic growth, free trade, cultural policy, and global tourism. Global Culture looks at all aspects of the "arts" including: film, art, music, theatre, television, and museums. This book fleshes out how current cultural policies are working and forecasts what we can expect the future landscape of global culture to look like.
The past two decades have witnessed major changes in film
industries worldwide in response to both economic globalisation and
technological developments. The dominant position of Hollywood
movies in the global film market has remained largely uncontested,
but Hollywood itself has become increasingly international in its
operations whilst 'regional' screen industries such as those in
East Asia and in the Indian subcontinent have (re-)emerged and
developed new forms of collaboration. The advent of digital
technologies has also transformed the content of films and the ways
in which they are made and consumed. Such changes, in turn, have
posed new economic and cultural challenges for policy-makers around
the world and led to a degree of rethinking of how film policy
objectives are to be conceived, defined and implemented. This
collection brings together a range of international scholars from
the USA, Europe and Asia to consider how film policy has responded
to the various economic, technological and political shifts shaping
the global film industry; and to identify the many tensions between
global and local, economic and cultural, and public and private
policy objectives that have been the result of these changes. This
book was originally published as a special issue of the
International Journal of Cultural Policy.
This book investigates economic, political, and cultural conditions
that have led to transnational flows of culture in Asia. Coverage
also looks at the consequences of an increasingly interconnected
Asian regional culture as well as policy makers and cultural
industries' response to it. The book features essays written by
researchers from different countries in Asia and beyond with
diverse disciplinary backgrounds. The volume also contains engaging
examples and cases with comparative perspectives. The contributors
provide readers with grounded analysis in the organizational and
economic logics of Asian creative industries, national cultural
policies that promote or hinder cultural flows, and the media
convergence and online consumers' surging demand for Asianized
cultural products. Such insights are of crucial importance for a
better understanding of the dynamics of transnational cultural
flows in contemporary Asia. In addition, the essays aim to
"de-westernize" the study of cultural and creative industries,
which draws predominantly on cases in the United States and Europe.
The contributors focus instead on regional dynamics of the
development of these industries. The popularity of J-Pop and K-Pop
in East and Southeast Asia (and beyond) is now well known, but less
is known about how this happened. This volume offers readers
theoretical tools that will help them to make better sense of those
exciting phenomena and other rising cultural flows within Asia and
their relevance to the global cultural economy.
