*Subject:* Symposium: Creative Industries in East and Southeast Asia
(Birkbeck, 29 June 2012)
*** Sorry for any cross-posting ***
The Japan Foundation & Birkbeck College’s Centre for Media, Culture and
Creative Practices present
CREATIVE INDUSTRIES IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST ASIA
This symposium will bring together some of the world’s foremost experts
to examine creative industries in East and Southeast Asia and how it is
shaped by and shaping the global relation of power which is rapidly
tilting towards the East. Spurred but no longer led by Japan, countries
in East Asia have endeavored to catch-up with Western economies and
increasingly compete against each other. The focus is no longer
exclusively on manufacturing and productivity but has shifted to
nurturing creativity and culture and becoming a branded cool nation. In
this historical conjuncture, this symposium provides a fresh look at
East Asia’s move up the global value chain, growing regional cooperation
and competition, and unexpected trajectory and localization of the idea
of creative industries, which originated in the UK.
