Summary: The arts and entertainment now demand a great deal of time and money from audiences worldwide. They also embroil us in fraught debates about cultural identities and cultural homogenization. A Bollywood song orآ a Latin telenovela now challenge productions from iconic institutions such as Hollywood or Opéra National de Paris in defining the global cultural landscape. Analytical perspectives that cut across ideological, disciplinary, and national boundaries are nevertheless hard to find. This volume brings together a range of accomplished scholars to provide insights at the local, societal, national, and international levels in understanding cultural industries, technologies, and policies. Cultural industries include the fine arts, the performing arts, and creative sectors that encompass publishing, film, music, photography, design, and cultural tourism. Information technologies, now more than ever, are considered crucial to the growth of cultural industries. This volume introduces scholars, policy practitioners, and students to the power of both the cultural artifacts and the policies governing them. (Font: Editor)
