Economics of cultural industries / edited by: William S. Hendon, Douglas V. Shaw, Nancy K. Grant
Detalles de publicación: Akron : University of Akron, 1984Descripción: 282 pResumen: This is volume I of three of the Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Cultural Economics and Planning held April 25-28, 1984, in Akron, Ohio. I am pleased to be able to write the introduction to the first volume yet produced of papers which analyse the economics of cultural industries. Only a few years ago such a venture would not have been possible because in its infancy, cultural economics had not yet produced a literature sufficiently large to permit a collection of papers on cultural industries. Happily this has changed and the papers in this volume add considerably to what we already knew about cultural industries. Of course, the volume is not complete. To round it out we needed a paper which dealt with the growth of the "for-profit" industries as a group, but at least we are able to include a general growth paper on the non-profits per se as well as a paper on the general impact of cultural spending, and case studies on some of the profit-side cultural industries. In addition we have papers which deal with data issues and conceptual issues related to cultural economics. Perhaps the volume should not be penalized too heavily for not defining the cultural industry. I recently attended the christening of my grandson into the Roman church (a group to which I do not belong) and was amazed at the certainty that prevailed. Nothing was left to doubt and the parental promises made to rear the child in "the faith" suggested a strong and certain future. Were godless economics so easy. Would that we had the faith in the market system that newspaper editors seem to have. Unfortunately there is no certainty for us in our strangely rational discipline and easily defining cultural industries cannot be expected. While John Pick challenges us to deal with the same terms of trade, and while Harold Horowitz shows us how the income and product accounts demonstrate one facet of cultural expenditure and by implication these define cultural industries, we are still a long way from settling these conceptual and definitional 'issues. When we attempt to define an industry, our discipline takes a too narrow conception. Eliminating the rough edges makes possible our theory building. From an empirical point of view, we tend to follow the precepts of the data collectors; thus, assuming the divinity of the national income accounts, we take the data that is available in the forms and cells that are readily collected and let our definition of culture move from these points of departure. Perhaps the best work towards definition has been made by the UNESCO group including such researchers as Yvon Ferland, Robert Horn, Augustin Girard, Harold Horowitz and others who have been on the front line of data collection of arts data in various countries, under the rubric of the Framework of Social and Demographic Statistics (FSDS) and the Framework for Cultural Statistics (FCS). What follows are the details of a paper published in the Journal of Cultural Economics by Robert Horn. Speaking of cultural indicators, Horn suggests that indicators can be construed as to situation, objectives, means or of results. For cultural indicators Horn suggests a list proposed by H. Midzuno .(UNESCO, Moscow, 1976) (Font: Introducció)| Tipo de ítem | Biblioteca actual | Colección | Signatura topográfica | Copia número | Estado | Fecha de vencimiento | Código de barras | |
