cultural creative ------------------------------------------------ - cultural industry - cultural industries - creative industries - creative economy
3
Creative Industries definition ----------------------------------------------------------- ”The Creative Industries are those that have their origin in individual creativity, skill, and talent and that have a potential for wealth and job creation through the generation and exploitation of intellectual property.” The Creative Industries Mapping Document Department for Culture, Media and Sport, UK, 1998
4
Creative Industries : culture ----------------------------------------------------------- ”Government and the Value of Culture” Tessa Jowell (2004) - a role for subsidized culture high art - recognized but described in terms of investment - potential of an individual
5
Creative Economy ----------------------------------------------------------- - disappearance of “culture” ? “creative” + “economy” - the term = more straigthforward /obscures less/ BUT “CULTURE MATTERS” Harrison / Huntington (2000)
6
Mapping Index of Creativity ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DCMS Mapping of Creative Industries (1997, 2000) - exclusively “industrial” aspect - economic contribution -------------------------------------------------------------------- “ audit of cultural resources” = different
7
Mapping Index of Creativity ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Florida’s indices of creativity % workforce in the creative class presence of advanced technology innovation diversity (gay index)
8

10
World Index of Creativity outline (2005) --------------------------------------------------------------- based on empirical research of values World Values Survey /Inglehart/ Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania = included
11
Mapping Index of Creativity --------------------------------------------------------------- Hong Kong : Mapping most comprehensive : economic Hong Kong : Index of creativity Desmond Hui social + cultural capital
12
SEE - Index of Creativity? --------------------------------------------------------------- -how to measure the potential of the creative economy in the region? / Florida’s nascent World Index of Creativity =/= specific enough /
13
SEE - Index of Creativity? --------------------------------------------------------------- - the task = creation of more specific, more sensitive indices - the question: is the region a good focus for such exercises? - the question : are individual nation-states in the region a good focus for such exercises?
14
Index of Creativity --------------------------------------------------------------- - the need for diversified levels of reference - the focus =/= territory of a nation-state - the focus =/= the “region” in Florida’s sense /”city + surrounding areas”/
15
Index of Creativity --------------------------------------------------------------- the focus = city, region /including historical traditions & a sense of place/ diversified national or SEE-level indices
16
Index of Creativity --------------------------------------------------------------- the focus = micro-histories, traditions, cultures the purpose = interpret in order to understand /Bauman/ “case by case” “step by step”
17
Index of Creativity --------------------------------------------------------------- - the focus /locus/ = the sense of place /what it is about/ - methods to measure it = should be devised - but what exactly is measured? - “what is creativity?”
18
Creativity --------------------------------------------------------------- - an evasive term - one attempt: “the ability to think at the edge of your competence” Charles Landry
19
Creativity --------------------------------------------------- - but what are “competences”? - how are they acquired? - how are they recognized? ------------------------------------------------ SOCIAL locus of reference
20
Creativity --------------------------------------------------- - but also CULTURE plays a part - VALUES : socialization /learning of culture/ - by means of socialization one masters the culture of one’s society ------------------------------------------------ values = a good start /but not enough: too generalized/
21
Focus --------------------------------------------------- - not only “market” / “economy” indicators (Porter: 17.000 $ +) but “society” + “culture”
22
Society --------------------------------------------------- - how to describe it? - what to study about it?
23
“transition” “mixed” society --------------------------------------------------- “transition” - political /single-party multiparty/ - economic /state or “social ownership” market economy/ - social / cultural /e.g. from active suppression of religion to its dominance in the social life/
24
why “mixed” society? --------------------------------------------------- “transition” in SEE = an unfinished process EU accession = marks the end /in political terms/ EU candidate countries : nearing “mature transition” but in social terms?
25
“mixed” society --------------------------------------------------- “transition” processes - varied from country to country - in common : (recent) radical break with the past & influence of the globalization process in the present
26
“mixed” society --------------------------------------------------- “transitional societies” = now stabilizing - old mechanisms destroyed but new have formed - these societies exihibit characteristics of both traditional and modern social structures - can therefore be described as mixed societies
27
“mixed” society --------------------------------------------------- - different outcomes /also within one nation/ - should be studied “step by step, case by case” - in the case of Croatia: two modernization processes simultaneously at work /Tomić-Koludrović/
28
“mixed” society --------------------------------------------------- “first” or “simple”, “industrial” modernization /premodern modern/ second or “reflexive”, “postindustrial” modernization /”modernization of modernization”/ U. Beck
29
------------------------------------------------ Split Riva
30
------------------------------------------------ Splitska riva
33
“mixed” society ----------------------------------------------- by analogy with mixed economy mixed agriculture
34
transitional society process : from → to ---------------------------------------------- mixed society = outcome : what we start from in analysis mixed society =/= static various processes take place but constellations = established
35
mixed society ---------------------------------------------- - should be studied in order to understand it & be able to interpret it /such studies in themselves emphasize or develop its reflexive character /
36
mixed society ---------------------------------------------- - methods should be devised to study its social & cultural aspects “market” = too narrow a descriptor and insufficient in general as focus of development “people” = the most valuable resource /this = also an “investment” in them and in society/
