Recent years have witnessed the remarkable development of the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) in Asia, from the global popularity of the Japanese games and anime industries, to Korea's film and pop music successes. While CCIs in these Asian cultural powerhouses aspire to become key players in the global cultural economy, Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia and Thailand are eager to make a strong mark in the region's cultural landscape. As the first handbook on CCIs in Asia, this book provides readers with a contextualized understanding of the conditions and operation of Asian CCIs. Both internationalising and de-Westernising our knowledge of CCIs, it offers a comprehensive contribution to the field from academics, practitioners and activists alike. Covering 12 different societies in Asia from Japan and China to Thailand, Indonesia and India, the themes include: State policy in shaping CCIs Cultural production inside and outside of institutional frameworks Circulation of CCIs products and consumer culture Cultural activism and independent culture Cultural heritage as an industry. Presenting a detailed set of case studies, this book will be an essential companion for researchers and students in the field of cultural policy, cultural and creative industries, media and cultural studies, and Asian studies in general.

Creativity is at the vanguard of contemporary capitalism, valorised as a form of capital in its own right. It is the centrepiece of the vaunted 'creative economy', the creative industries, and is increasingly a focus of public policy. But what is economic about creativity? How can creative labour become the basis for a distinctive global industry? And how has the solitary artist, a figment of the romantic thought, become the creative entrepreneur of twenty-first-century economic imagining? This book offers a fresh approach to this topic within the creative industries through a focus on intellectual property. It follows IP and its associated rights (IPR) through the creative economy, showing how it shapes creative products and configures the economic agency of creative producers. IP helps to manage risk, settle what is valuable, extract revenues, and protect future profits. It is the central mechanism in organising the market for creative goods. Most importantly, it shows that IP/IPR is crucial in the dialectic between symbolic and economic value on which the creative industries depend; IP/IPR hold the creative industries together. This book is based on a detailed empirical study of creative producers in the UK, extending the sociological studies of markets to an analysis of the UK's creative industries. In doing so, it makes an important, empirically grounded contribution to debates around creativity, entrepreneurship, and uncertainty in creative industries, and will be of interest to scholars and policymakers alike.

De Star Wars à Lady Gaga, de Superman à Matrix, tubes, blockbusters et best-sellers forment aujourd'hui les facettes d'une culture de masse omniprésente. Un philosophe analyse le phénomène : qu'est-ce que la « pop culture » ? Et que change-t-elle pour nous, son public ? Avant d'être la sensibilité de la jeunesse des années 1960 ou un genre musical qui mêle tous les sons de la table de mixage, la pop est d'abord une stratégie, un calcul industriel alimenté par une seule obsession : savoir ce que veulent les masses. La pop culture est un ogre qui ingère tout ce qu'il trouve. Mais cette logique de réappropriation l'ouvre paradoxalement aux déclassés, aux freaks et aux minorités en tout genre. Ce qui s'y joue est d'abord l'invention de nouvelles identités, de nouvelles communautés. Richard Mèmeteau analyse chansons, films, comics, romans et séries pour répondre à des questions essentielles comme : pourquoi les bluesmen demandent-ils au diable de savoir mieux jouer de la guitare ? Que doivent les blockbusters hollywoodiens aux travaux d'un universitaire spécialiste de mythologie comparée ? Et si Yoda est si malin, pourquoi laisse-t-il Luke Skywalker faire tout le boulot ?
