中国创意的“文化基因”及其作用机制——澳大利亚文化理论家金迈克论中国创意产业

Cultural Gene of Chinese Creativity and Its Mechanism——Australian Scholar Michael Keane On Chinese Creative Industry

澳大利亚学者金迈克对中国创意产业的研究著作颇丰,并提出一系列重要问题。他指出创新精神往往内生于文化基因之中,而中国的传统文化并不支持创新。时至今日,中国传统文化依然有其影响并通过具体的文化机制发挥作用。通过分析一些具体问题,如教育、版权、创意集聚区,指出当代中国创意产业之不足。而他对中国电视节目改编的研究,一方面以具体个案说明了文化对于文化产品的影响,另一方面这种对外来节目的改编也体现了一种文化的横向旅行。

Australian scholar Michael Keane has lots of studies about Chinese creative industry and these books point out some crucial questions. He builds a connection between culture and creativity, and considers Chinese traditional cultural gene does not support creative Zeitgeist. Nowadays, Chinese traditional culture is still affecting China. This effect will come true through cultural mechanism, such as Chinese education and copyright and so on. His research on Chinese TV provides a case about the cultural effect to cultural products and it is also a kind of travelling of culture.
