About this book

This handbook offers rich and diverse discussions of key topics in the field and is disciplinary-agnostic and in tune with empirical manifestations. It spans multiple perspectives, including (but not limited to) management, cultural studies, economic geography, sociology, gender studies, critical race, disability and communication studies. A range of contributions is included from historical perspectives to emerging debates, in addition to work on key current issues. It moves beyond the “industry” of creative industries to also document and examine the ways that industry shapes identity and community and how industry is shaped by external forces. In a sector that is particularly prone to disruptions, be they social, cultural, legal, or economical, this handbook reflects the current state of the creative industries.
  • Offers an historical overview alongside current developments in the field.
  • Provides suggestions for the future issues.
  • Links creative industries as a field to debates around gender, ‘me too’, work and inequality, AI, and the environment.
