Modules

Analytical Approaches to the Global Creative and Cultural Industries (15 Credits) - Core
This core module presents a theoretical overview of approaches to the analysis of art, culture and media in the context of the economy. From late-19th century ideas of what art is for, to anxieties about the emergence of Mass and Popular culture in the mid-20th century, to approaches to The Culture Industry and The Cultural Industries, to the emergence of the idea of the Creative Industries at the end of the 20th Century, the module asks questions about how art is, or should be, funded, the economic importance of culture and how art and culture has been made, sold and understood in the globalized digital age. Drawing on a range of theoretical perspectives, from theories of Mass Culture to Cultural Studies, Cultural Sociology and the emergent disciple of Cultural Industries analysis, and case studies from across the world, the module places questions of value, cultural labour and cultural justice in global political context.
