Negotiating Values in the Creative Industries : Fairs, Festivals and Competitive Events Paperback / softback
Edited by Brian (Copenhagen Business School) Moeran, Jesper (Copenhagen Business School) Strandgaard Pedersen
Paperback / softback
Description
Fairs, festivals and competitive events play a crucial role in the creative industries; yet their significance has been largely overlooked.
This book explores the role of such events through a series of studies that include some of the most iconic fairs and festivals in the world.
It brings together a team of distinguished scholars to examine art fairs, biennales, auctions, book fairs, television programming markets, film festivals, animation film festivals, country music festivals, fashion weeks, wine classifications and wine tasting events.
This diverse set of studies shows that such events serve a variety of purposes: as field-configuring events (FCEs), as a way of ritualising industry practices and as 'tournaments of values' where participants negotiate different cultural values to resolve economic issues.
Suitable for academics and practitioners, this book presents a fascinating perspective on the role and importance of fairs, festivals and competitive events in the creative industries.
