Cultural and creative industries

This unit complements the conceptual, historical and industrial themes developed in APG5900 Cultural Economy. You will be introduced to the evolving structure of a range of cultural and creative industries. You will learn about key dynamic trends such as digitalisation, financialisation, clustering, globalisation and intellectual property legislation. The unit enables you to link these high level tendencies to the specific context of particular industries and sub-sectors, and/or places/spaces. The assessment provides you with the opportunity to undertake a case study approach to a cultural/creative industry of your choice.
