Overview
This unit will introduce the core conceptual and historical dimensions of the Master of Cultural and Creative Industries, including the emergence of arts and cultural policy, the rise of the cultural and creative industries, urban regeneration and urban cultural economies, and the evolution of cultural/ creative work. In particular it will explore the concepts and claims of "cultural economy" - that the economy is a constructed socio-cultural phenomenon - and examine the consequences of these for existing and future practices by individuals, businesses and policy agencies operating within the cultural economy per se.
