Samenvatting
From the late 1980s the creative economy became paradigmatic in cultural policy, achieving the status of a powerful global discourse across a range of domains. In this special issue, the authors explore the ways in which the idea of creative economy might be rethought. The articles in this issue: 'Using data from a major project on craftwork in Australia', Susan Luckman considers how the creative economy persists even as its many workers face precarious working conditions. Simon Moreton explores the relationship between the creative economy and universities. He makes the argument that the university sector is an important agent in the shaping and performance of the creative economy. Alexander Frenette, Nathan D. Martin and Steven J. Tepper point in their paper to the prevalence of multi-disciplinary arts practices as a way in which arts graduates navigate labour markets where high barriers to entry and poor working conditions are the norm. Working across disciplines leads to increased levels of job satisfaction and is associated with those who stay in the arts long after graduation. Michael Lithgow and Karen Wall describe in their paper how vulnerable the creative economy policies and projects are to favouring more narrowly construed forms of economic growth. They explore the municipally embedded artist-in-residence programme (Edmonton, Canada) as a source of friction, complexity and inefficiency. Mark Banks contributes with his article to emerging critiques of UK creative economy plicy by challenging celebration of 'growth' as the primary indicator of economic succes. |
