Cultural Work CULTURAL WORK The great achievement of this collection is to bring together academics and cultural workers who can write eloquently about the vitally important but shamefully neglected topic of cultural work. The results are always interesting, often enlightening and sometimes brilliant. David Hesmondhalgh, The Open University Why do studies of film, popular music and television frequently talk about consumers rather than those who produce the work? And what do we actu- ally know about those involved in the creative industries? Cultural Work examines the conditions of the production of culture. It maps the changed character of work within the cultural and creative indus- tries, examines the increasing diversity of cultural work and offers new methods for analyzing and thinking about cultural workplaces. Cultural Work brings together a mixture of practitioners and scholars to think about the production of culture in an industrialized context: it includes those who began in the creative industries and now teach and study cultural practices, those who have left academia and are now involved in cultural pro- duction and those who maintain profiles as both educators and practitioners. Cultural Work investigates previously unexplored aspects of the creative industries. Studying television, popular music, performance art, radio, film production and live performance, it offers occupational biographies, cultural histories, practitioners’ evidence, and considerations of the economic environment, as well as new ways of observing and studying the cultural industries.

  • Film, Television and Video Productions Featuring Brass Bands
    Film, Television and Video productions featuring brass bands Gavin Holman, October 2019 Over the years the brass bands in the UK, and elsewhere, have appeared numerous times on screen, whether in feature films or on television programmes. In most cases they are small appearances fulfilling the role of a “local” band in the background or supporting a musical event in the plot of the drama. At other times band have a more central role in the production, featuring in a documentary or being a major part of the activity (e.g. Brassed Off, or the few situation comedies with bands as their main topic). Bands have been used to provide music in various long-running television programmes, an example is the 40 or more appearances of Chalk Farm Salvation Army Band on the Christmas Blue Peter shows on BBC1. Bands have taken part in game shows, provided the backdrop for and focus of various commercial advertisements, played bands of the past in historical dramas, and more. This listing of 450 entries is a second attempt to document these appearances on the large and small screen – an original list had been part of the original Brass Band Bibliography in the IBEW, but was dropped in the early 2000s. Some overseas bands are included. Where the details of the broadcast can be determined (or remembered) these have been listed, but in some cases all that is known is that a particular band appeared on a certain show at some point in time - a little vague to say the least, but I hope that we can add detail in future as more information comes to light.

  • Enhancing Urban Heritage: Industrial Culture and Cultural Industry
    Athens Journal of Architecture - Volume 1, Issue 1– Pages 35-50 Enhancing Urban Heritage: Industrial Culture and Cultural Industry By Esther Giani † Giancarlo Carnevale The rehabilitation of historical centres in Italy offers a vast quantity of experiences, though the concept of preserving urban and architectural heritage is quite recent. In fact the same experience does not find place for industrial districts or areas. The scale of intervention is specific to each case as it deals with single artefacts as well as complex building systems, open spaces and urban closeness. The heterogeneity of adopted methods is a result of diverse contextual conditions and, perhaps above all, diverse urban policies. An initial distinction must be made between Monument and Document, thus distinguishing two levels, both equally relevant to the preservation of the identities of a site, though of widely varying origins and – quite often – diverse physical, formal and functional consistency. This text will examine primarily those aspects related to urban morphology, looking at buildings by means of the Vitruvius paradigm: firmitas, utilitas and venustas. These notions will, however, be subordinated to superior levels of programming. Political choices determine what can be pursued, while economic strategies indicate the limits of each intervention; last but not least is the notion of environmental sustainability in its broadest meaning that encompasses issues of energy, economics, function, technology and, above all, society. We will attempt to further narrow the field by considering the rehabilitation of a complex industrial district: the first methodological choice concerns the type of analysis (the reading) adopted to acquire notions useful to the development of a concept design.

    CHAPTER 1 Introduction Anthony Fung In 1997, Tony Blair, the British Prime Minister at that time, proposed the term “creative industries.” Since then, not only has the term become an inspirational and overarching concept in Britain and Europe but also it has been accepted worldwide. Hence, all countries have the potential to use creative industries to strengthen their global competitiveness through various cultural means, such as exporting games, movies, design, fashion, and so on. In intellectual terms, the concept of creative industries captures “those industries which have their origin in individual creativity, skill and talent and which have a potential for wealth and job creation through the generation and exploitation of intellectual property” (Department for Culture, Media & Sport, 2001, p. 5). The formulation of this concept to describe the economic function of intellectual property was elaborated by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) as “any economic activity producing symbolic products with a heavy A.

Thus, digital games and many other forms of games that embody the element of creative content and that rely strongly on intellectual property and authenticity constitute conceptual models of creative industries (Throsby, 2008a, b).

  • 2013 New Orleans Cultural Economy Snapshot, the Fourth Edition of the Groundbreaking Report Created at the Beginning of My Term As Mayor in 2010
    May 2014 Dear Friends and Colleagues: I am pleased to present the 2013 New Orleans Cultural Economy Snapshot, the fourth edition of the groundbreaking report created at the beginning of my term as Mayor in 2010. My Administration has offered this unique, comprehensive annual review of our city’s cultural economy not only to document the real contributions of the creative community to our economy, but also to provide them with the information they need to get funding, create programming, start a business, and much more. This report outlines the cultural business and non-profit landscape of New Orleans extensively to achieve that goal. As I begin my second term as Mayor, the cultural economy is more important than ever. The cultural sector has 34,200 jobs, an increase of 14% since 2010. New Orleans’ cultural businesses have added jobs each and every year, and jobs have now exceeded the 2004 high. The city hosted 60 total feature film and television tax credit projects in 2013, a 62% increase from 2010. Musicians in the city played 29,000 gigs in 2013 at clubs, theatres, or at many of the city’s 136 annual festivals. This active cultural economy injects millions into our economy, as well as an invaluable contribution to our quality of life. The City will continue to craft policies and streamline processes that benefit cultural businesses, organizations, and individuals over the next 4 years. There also is no doubt that cultural workers, business owners, producers, and traditional cultural bearers will persist in having a strong and indelible impact on our economy and our lives.

  • Creative Labour in the Cultural Industries
    Creative labour in the cultural industries David Lee University of Leeds, UK abstract The explicit focus of this article is the study of creative work within the cultural industries. It begins by exploring the shift from ‘culture industry’ to ‘cultural industries’ to ‘creative industries’. Then, connecting cultural industries and creative work, it outlines contemporary debates within the field of cre - ative labour studies, including significant theoretical developments that have taken place drawing on gov - ernmentality theory, autonomist Marxism and sociological perspectives. Finally, the article considers possible directions for future research, arguing for the need to balance theoretical developments with more grounded sociological work within the field. keywords communications ◆ creative labour ◆ cultural industries ◆ neoliberalism Introduction The study of cultural industries has been of theoreti - is increasingly central to social and economic life, they cal interest since the publication of Adorno and arguably provide a model for transformations in other Horkheimer’s critique of the ‘Culture Industry’, writ - industries (Lash and Urry, 1994).

  • Land and Freedom Le Passé Imparfait Par Gérald Collas *
    « Land and Freedom le passé imparfait par Gérald Collas * Comment parler d'un film comme Land and freedom aujourd'hui ? D'abord écouter son réalisateur, Ken Loach, lorsqu'il énonce les raisons qui l'ont conduit à faire ce film : « J'ai voulu raconter l'histoire d'une révolution trahie. Expliquer comment, à chaque tentative de changement, la gauche gâchait tout espoir. Témoigner d'une lutte de pouvoir - ici entre anarchistes, trotskistes et commu­ nistes. Montrer que la révolution populaire a échoué par la faute du P.C. et de la politique de Staline (...) Mon message est simple : le socialisme n'a pas échoué, il reste à faire. Aujourd'hui que le bloc communiste s'est ef­ fondré, cette leçon est précieuse » il. Intentions du réalisateur et réactions de la critique dé­ limitent l'espace dans lequel va s'inscrire le film - ad­ hésion ou rejet espace qui va largement surdéterminer les lectures qu'en feront à chaque fois ses spectateurs. Cet espace - d'emblée - est un espace trop plein, un es­ pace dans lequel il n'y a plus de jeu possible en ce sens qu'il invite le spectateur à une lecture programmée, à une lecture qui est décodage d'un message dont la sim­ plicité est le meilleur garant de sa fluidité. A lire l'abondante critique suscitée par le film lors de sa sortie en salles ou à l'occasion de sa présentation dans le cadre du Festival de Cannes, une première réflexion s'impose : une fois encore, ce qui prend le dessus c'est le débat autour de la question historique qui sert de ré- 55 férence et non la critique du film lui-même, du récit au­ tour duquel il s'ordonne et du sens que celui-ci produit pour le spectateur.

Typically, such an approach has elevated a (largely male) pantheon of screenwriters to auteur status. There is undeniably something romantic and appealing about this methodology which perpetuates the myth of ‘the great artist’ and brings this cachet to bear on a medium often looked down upon as the poor relation of cinema. And yet television production is in fact a highly collaborative creative endeavour, one best understood as evolving within a whole web of connected social and historical contexts. This includes the aspirations and talents of individuals but also the needs of the industry at any one time, as well as its textual and generic histories. It is with this latter approach in mind that this chapter discusses some of the creative forces, generic conventions and other contexts that were central to how the series came to be made. From writer Lynda La Plante to police consultant Jackie Malton and Tennison’s fictional predecessors, together these interests form the ‘back story’ to Prime Suspect.
