Hracs et al. - Culture, Creativity and Economy

Hracs, B. J., Brydges, T., Haisch, T., Hauge, A., Jansson, J., & Sjoholm, J. (Eds.) (2022). Culture, Creativity and Economy: Collaborative Practices, Value Creation and Spaces of Creativity. London: Routledge. ISBN: 978-1032053301

This book is a result of eight European Colloquiums on Culture, Creativity and Economy (CCE). It engages with a set of three challenges that emerged over the course of these events: 1) the tension between individual and collaborative creative practices; 2) the tension between tradition and innovation; and 3) the tension between isolated and interconnected spaces of creativity. Individual chapters offer insights into poorly understood practices, locations and contexts such as co-working spaces in Berlin and rural Spain, creative businesses in Leicester and the role and importance of cultural intermediaries in creative economies within Africa. Other contributions in the collection examine the nature of trans-local cultural flows, the evolving field of fashion, and the implications of social media and crowdfunding platforms.
