Module UXS-4050:
Creative Industries

Creative Industries 2024-25
UXS-4050
2024-25
School of Arts, Culture And Language
Module - Semester 2
20 credits
Module Organiser: Eben Muse
Overview

Welcome to the exciting world of Creative Industries! In this module you will explore key concepts in an academic, cultural and industry context, from global development to local examples. The creative industries contribute significantly to economies by generating revenue, providing employment opportunities, and fostering cultural expression. They are closely intertwined with technology, innovation, and intellectual property rights. In this module you will define industry traits, compare diverse sectors, and unravel media, cultural convergence, and intellectual property rights. Discover the rise of hubs, clusters, and incubators. Immerse yourself in theories and gain real insights from industry insiders. By the end of the module, you will appreciate and analyse key issues from the perspective of practitioners operating within these industries.

This module will give the students an opportunity to study the key issues relating to the concept of the ‘creative industries’ in an academic and political context. The ways in which the creative industries have developed on a global scale will be examined, with more local examples reflecting the wider issues also being considered. The most significant characteristics of these industries will be studied, and comparisons will be made between different areas of the sector. Media convergence, cultural convergence, intellectual property rights and the emergence of hubs, clusters and incubators are amongst the main topics that will be addressed. As well as assessing the main theories relating to these industries, the module will also give students the opportunity to appreciate and analyse key issues from the perspective of practitioners operating within these industries.
