Paradigms for Creative Industry Research

image of Paradigms for Creative Industry Research

This chapter addresses creative industries research and provides an overview of creative labour studies. Three dominant paradigms for creative economy are discussed: cultural policy, space-labur and art theory. More focus on the place-of-the-object is suggested, bestowing on actual objects, artefacts or art work a ‘social life’.

Keywords: art theory ; artist-curator ; artistic practice ; creative industries ; creative labour ; cultural policy ; fashion ; gender ; Place-of-the-object ; Space-labour
