Paperback. Condizione: Fair. This reader in popular cultural studies is an up-to-date collection of readings on contemporary youth cultures and youth music. From rave to disco and house to northern soul, the material gathered in this volume helps to distinguish "popular cultural studies" from some aspects of the theoretical work of "contemporary cultural studies".

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this prophetic, passionately argued essay Justin O'Connor navigates his way through the social changes since the 1960s that have divided art from culture and married creativity to material profit. Today the rapid growth of cultural consumption and the contribution of cultural services to the wider economy have brought about a crisis in cultural policy which has devastated the arts. So trapped are the arts in the language of metrics that their real intention can no longer be understood. We must learn to share a common language of public value. The cultural sector deserves to be treated as other public good is, like health and education, which occupy a large place in our market, and yet the market is not seen as the reason for their existence. O'Connor calls on the cultural sector not to retreat from the marketplace but make a rigorous, open-eyed engagement with it. What is at stake in culture-as it has always been- are the great questions of ultimate value: of how we can live together and what the quality of our collective life should be.

Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. Culture Is Not an Industry: Reclaiming Art and Culture for the Common Good. Book.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Culture is at the heart of what it means to be human. But twenty-five years ago, the British government rebranded art and culture as 'creative industries', valued for their economic contribution, and set out to launch the UK as the creative workshop of a globalised world.Where does that leave art and culture now? Facing exhausted workers and a lack of funding and vision, culture finds itself in the grip of accountancy firms, creativity gurus and Ted Talkers. At a time of sweeping geo-political turmoil, culture has been de-politicised, its radical energies reduced to factors of industrial production. This book is about what happens when an essential part of our democratic citizenship, fundamental to our human rights, is reduced to an industry.Culture is not an industry argues that art and culture need to renew their social contract and re-align with the radical agenda for a more equitable future. Bold and uncompromising, the book offers a powerful vision for change.

Bold and uncompromising, the book offers a powerful vision for change.'Imaginative culture art, stories, decoration, styles is how we anticipate the future and feel our way into it: our antennae. Treating culture as an industry subject to the crude rules of neoliberalism doesn't make any more sense than treating healthcare the same way. Justin O'Connor's brilliant book argues for a holistic, ecological vision of culture in which it is seen as an essential part of the maintenance of a functioning society.' Brian Eno'Culture is not an industry radically remakes the case for culture and cultural policy in the twenty-first century. Rejecting the trend for culture's depoliticisation and the illusions of the "creative industries", O'Connor proposes a dynamic new approach where culture is recentred as foundational to citizenship, democracy and a new kind of economy.' Mark Banks, Professor of Cultural Economy, University of Glasgow'A passionate and well-argued "corrective" that seeks to rebalance the cultural scales away from the economic to a larger sense of social purpose. The book's central argument is that we must reclaim art, give it place and recognition in all and every society that wishes to live well and without fear. I'll buy that.' Josephine Burns, Co-Founder of BOP Consulting Culture is not an industry argues that art and culture in the UK need to renew their social contract and re-align with the radical agenda for a more equitable future. Bold and uncompromising, the book offers a powerful vision for change. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
