Course Coordinator:
Mr. Lau Chun Man Ivan, MSocSc (CUHK); BA (PolyU); DipDes (PolyU)
Aims
The course aims to introduce contemporary theories and research methods of media and cultural studies to study creative economy and cultural policy and practices. Case studies and empirical evidence will show how to link cultural practices to concepts and theories of creativity, human capital, globalisation and localisation, which contribute to the growth of creative economy. Various cultural policy models and their impacts on specific sectors of the creative industries will be compared and contrasted in terms of the goals and roles of different government agencies, non-governmental organisations and private foundations. The course will enhance students' research and analytical ability for problem-solving in creative arts production and management in relation to the policy and global contexts.
