Abstract "An introductory overview of the socio-economic organization of creative industries, focussing on the East Asian context. Establishing a theoretical framework founded on the work of Richard Caves, Howard Becker, and Pierre Bourdieu, this textbook is an accessible introduction to creative and cultural industries, drawing on examples from Japan, South Korea and China. It both examines what is unique about cultural production in these countries, and places them in a global and intercultural context. Building on themes of uncertainty and networks of cooperation, Moeran looks at the role of social ties in defining notions of quality. He then analyses the positioning of individual actors, organizations and commodities in each field of cultural production and the exchanges of economic and symbolic capital that take place between them. Examples are taken from a range of cultural and creative industries, including film, music and fashion. A foundational introduction to the study of creative and cultural production in East Asia"-- Provided by publisher.
