Abstract

This book aims to develop a new conception of creative industries, a term largely associated with the aggregated economic activity of artists. Hartley, Wen, and Li expand the scope of creative industries by defining creativity as newness of any variety and arguing that newness emerges from groups communicating with each other. This wide definition of creative industries invites scholars of entrepreneurship communication and technical communication to join the multidisciplinary conversation on the creative industries. The authors’ very distributed understanding of creativity raises interesting questions, allows for the study of large-scale phenomena, and leaves open questions of precarity and devalued expertise.
