Handbook on the Geographies of Creativity, Hardcover by De Dios, Anjeline (EDT); Kong, Lily (EDT), ISBN 1785361635, ISBN-13 9781785361630, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UKAdopting a geographically diverse and theoretically rigorous approach, this <i>Handbook on the Geographies of Creativity</i> is a cutting-edge study of creativity as it has emerged in policy, academic, activist, and cultural discourse over the last two decades. A range of sectors are explored with in-depth engagement and understanding, including: dance, music, craft, visual art, circus arts and fashion.<p><p> This Handbook departs from conventional modes of analysing creativity by industry, region or sector, and instead identifies key themes that thread through shifting contexts of the creative, namely creativity as imaginary, locality, mobility, labour, culture, intervention and method. By tracing the myriad spatialities of creativity, the chapters map its inherently paradoxical features: reinforcing persistent conditions of inequality even as it opens avenues for imagining and enacting more equitable futures.<p> The conceptual framework proposed for critically appraising present debates and articulating future directions for creative and cultural industries will be useful for scholars and academics researching culture, media and design. Policy makers and professionals working in creative and cultural industries (CCIs) will find the wide range of case studies in this Handbook an essential tool for further understanding the field.<p><p> <b>Contributors include:</b> .
