创意产业之后——兼论为什么我们需要一种文化经济

After Creative Industries & Why We Need a Cultural Economy

本文描述了20世纪60年代以来西方国家所发生的将文化与艺术分离、将创意与物质利润相连的社会变化。今天,文化消费在社会上的快速增长及文化服务对更大的经济领域的贡献,已经在某些西方国家的文化政策中引发了一种忽略艺术本质的危机。在这种"以数据说话"的潮流中,艺术真正的价值不再能为人们所理解。为保护与传承文化艺术的价值,文化界必须与市场作真正勇敢的斗争与开诚布公的讨论,而不是从市场中退出。

This essay describes the social changes in western countries since the 1960 s that have divided art from culture and married creativity to material profit. Today the rapid growth of cultural consumption and the contribution of cultural services to the wider economy have brought about a crisis in cultural policy which has devastated the arts. So trapped are the arts in the language of metrics that their real intention can no longer be understood. To protect the value of arts and culture, the cultural sector has to make a rigorous, open-eyed engagement with the marketplace, not to retreat from it.
