This book opens up access to fundamental but hitherto unexplored areas of a young industry whose rise was closely entwined with international lobbying, a burgeoning design culture, and fluctuating policy directives. Nobody can unravel those multi-faceted debates and discourses more deftly than Keane.

The author shows how developments in Chinese art, design and media industries are reflected in policy, in market activity, and grassroots participation. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Never has the attraction of being a media producer, an artist, or a designer in China been so enticing. National and regional governments offer financial incentives; consumption of cultural goods and services have increased; creative workers from Europe, North America and Asia are moving to Chinese cities; culture is increasingly positioned as a pillar industry. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But what does this mean for our understanding of Chinese society? Can culture be industrialised following the low-cost model of China’s manufacturing economy. Is the national government really committed to social liberalisation? \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This engaging book is a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in social change in China. It draws on leading Chinese scholarship together with insights from global media studies, economic geography and cultural studies.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eMap ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations x\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFigures and Tables xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChronology xii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Culture in Flux 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Culture and Creativity 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 The Cultural Innovation Timeline 70\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Desperately Seeking Innovation 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Art 125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Design 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Media 177\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 202\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 208\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 230\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407326343448,"sku":"9780745661001","price":45.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745661001.jpg?v=1784162188","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/creative-industries-in-china-art-design-and-media-hardback-9780745661001","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
