Global, Cultural and Creative Industries

SALC61402 Global, Cultural and Creative Industries 30 Semester 2 Postgraduate Taught Level 6 Leandro Valiati Unit coordinator School of Arts, Languages and Cultures 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 15.0 This module will examine theoretical fundamentals, global paradigmatic models, and evidence-based policy analysis of Global Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs). By reviewing case studies in different countries, we will discuss representative tools, policies, and their socio-economic multidimensional impacts. Our examination of CCIs will draw on a set of techniques and innovative global strategies, which will help us analyse how evidence can shape a better understanding of impact (ex-post analysis) and policymaking (ex-ante decision making) for Global Creative Industries. The module’s social and economic analysis of CCIs will emphasise different visions and approaches found in relevant global policies. You will be introduced to pertinent theoretical lenses, and databases, to understand various layers of the socio-economic impact of different global policies for arts, technology, and digital markets innovations (from GDP and international trade to wellbeing, cultural value, and human and social development). The learning track of this module is composed of three axes: Axis i. The Cultural Economics and Global Creative Industries (4 weeks): aims to examine different theoretical elements and tools in Cultural Economics, Cultural and Creative Industries and Evidence-based policies; Axis ii. Policies for Arts and Global Creative Industries (5 weeks): an overview on the relevant global policies for Arts and Creative industries focusing on narratives shaped by evidence, considering paradigms in the decision-making (ex-ante) as well as broader impacts (ex-post); Axis iii. Research-training on producing evidenced based policies for CCIs (3 weeks): in this axis you will create an individual portfolio of evidence-based analysis aiming at the study of a global (or sectorial) policy for CCIS, producing a multidimensional evaluation of strategy and impact.

The Cultural Economics and Global Creative Industries (4 weeks): aims to examine different theoretical elements and tools in Cultural Economics, Creative Industries Policies and Evaluation (multidimensional socio-economic indicators); Axis ii. Evidence-based policies for Arts and Global Creative Industries (5 weeks): an overview on the relevant global policies for Arts and Creative industries focusing on narratives shaped by evidence, considering paradigms in the decision-making (ex-ante) as well as broader impacts (ex-post); Axis iii. Research-training on producing evidence (3 weeks): in this axis you will create an individual portfolio of evidence-based evaluation aiming at the analysis of a global (or sectorial) policy for CCIS, producing an evaluation multidimensional of motivations and impact. <ul> <li>Develop a critical understanding of the theoretical frameworks, policies, evidence production and context-impact evaluation in the field of Cultural Economics and Global Creative Industries.</li> <li>Establish a critical ability to read and interpret the ecosystem of data production on the Socio-Economic impact of Arts and Creative Industries.</li> <li>Develop capacity in producing strategic evidence relying on consistent research methodologies for primary and secondary data under the specificities of Arts and Creative Industries Management.</li> <li>Combine theoretical knowledge and practical references in data-production abilities for the public, semi-public and private decision-making process and accountability in the Arts Management activities.</li></ul> <ul> <li>Comprehension of the ecosystem of Creative Industries policies in the UK and the world </li> <li>Demonstrate understanding of contemporary debates on new strategies of accountability and evidence-based policies for arts managers, practitioners, and policymakers </li> <li>Understand the application of the economic rationale to the arts and creative industries and build on diverse methodologies, lenses, and multidimensional instruments. </li> <li>Develop knowledge on how to analyse, compare, and evaluate different strategies of tools to assess arts and culture impact and critically assess the measurement of impacts commonly used by arts managers and governments. </li></ul> <ul> <li>Undertake self-directed learning and skills acquisition</li> <li>Conduct independent, critical data analysis </li> <li>Develop appropriate methodological and analytical skills </li></ul> <ul> <li>Initiate practical and creative solutions to specific criteria</li> <li>Communicate complex research findings through clear written and verbal articulation, supported by appropriate technological tools </li> <li>Achieve an advanced and critically informed level of group work</li> <li>Gain experience in decision-making based on evidence</li></ul> <ul> <li>Retrieve, select and critically evaluate information from a variety of sources, including libraries, archives, and the internet</li> <li>Orchestrate group work in disciplinary and multi-disciplinary contexts and work constructively within a team </li> <li>Communicate information and ideas effectively in a professional, as well as an academic, environment</li> <li>Critically evaluate personal performance through monitoring and analytical reflection</li> <li>Demonstrate independent learning ability suitable for continuing study and professional development</li> <li>Develop skills and gain experience in group project work and communication </li></ul> Project management Gain experience in development and evaluation of an Arts and/or Creative Industries project/policy Oral communication Articulate clearly key historic and contemporary debate on Creative Industries policies Research Get data-analysis skills required in evidence-bases policies Other Manage time efficiently Themes and content will include:   Week 1: Conceptual framework: The Economy of Culture and Development: basic concepts and lenses (axis 1) Week 2: Conceptual framework: Beyond and above GDP on Economics: different views of economic impact and context measurements (axis 1)Week 3: Multidimensional Value: Cultural, Economic Value and Wellbeing (Axis 1)Week 4: The multi-layered socio-economic impact of Culture: Social Impact of the Arts (Axis 1) Week 5: CCIs Models: Global Creative and Cultural Industries models (Axis 2)Week 6: CCIs Models: Global Creative and Cultural Industries models II (Axis 2)Week 7: CCIs in the UK: Economic fundaments of Policies for Creative Industries in the UK: a tale of heterogeneity (Axis 2)Week 8: Methods and evaluation: Evidence-based policies in culture and creative industries: methodologies and available frameworks.
