"Where are your factories that produce culture? Where are your painters, your composers, your architects, your writers, your filmmakers?" The book opens with Leonardo da Vinci and Qin Shi Huang asking embarrassed contemporary policy makers these questions. The first part of the book is therefore devoted to elaborating a model for producing culture. The model takes into account both the role played by creativity in the production of culture in a technologically advanced knowledge society. The second part of the book examines a selection of strategic sectors: fashion, material culture districts, gastronomy, creative industries, entertainment, contemporary art, museums. Special attention is paid to the role collective intellectual property rights play in increasing the quality of culture-based goods and services. In the conclusion policy makers in both developed and developing countries are urged to adopt policies that can foster creativity and promote culture.

"This volume examines the use of Black popular culture to engage, reflect, and parse social justice, arguing that Black popular culture is more than merely entertainment. Moving beyond a focus on identifying and categorizing cultural forms, the authors examine Black popular culture to understand how it engages social justice, with attention to anti-Black racism. Black Popular Culture and Social Justice takes a systematic look at the role of music, comic books, literature, film, television, and public art in shaping attitudes and fighting oppression. Examining the ways in which artists, scholars, and activists have engaged, discussed, promoted, or supported social justice - on issues of criminal justice reform, racism, sexism, LGBTQIA rights, voting rights, and human rights - the book offers unique insights into the use of Black popular culture as an agent for change. This timely and insightful book will be of interest to students and scholars of race and media, popular culture, gender studies, sociology, political science, and social justice"--

While recent criticism of popular culture studies calls for the recategorization of the field within the humanities, it is argued that such proposals overlook the fundamentally political nature of popular culture. Cultural categorization in culture studies is based on political judgments of aesthetic value, resulting in power-based distinctions between high & popular cultures. Citing Antonio Gramsci's political ideas & theory of hegemony, it is noted that the dominant class's privileged rulers stake a claim over certain forms of culture, defining them as the cultural heritage of the nation, in contrast with the aesthetic principles organizing & reproducing a culture of the lower social orders. 10 References.

BLURB FOR TOTAL PROP MAILER................ Total Propaganda moves the study of propaganda out of the exclusive realm of world politics into the more inclusive study of popular culture, media, and politics. All the participatory functioning elements of the society are aspects of membership in the popular culture. Thus, the values of popular music, media, politics, debates over social issues, and even international trade become everyday propaganda to which everyone may relate. To emphasize the necessity for new thinking about propaganda, Edelstein creates the concepts of the new propaganda a

Résumé S'appuyant sur une décennie d'enquêtes en France, Hugues Lagrange étudie l'importance de la culture dans la socialisation adolescente des quartiers pauvres. Son affirmation, attribuant la sur-criminalité des jeunes d'origine subsaharienne à leur culture, a créé un débat médiatique. D'autres chercheures ont démontré que ces jeunes ne sont pas plus délinquants que ceux issus d'autres cultures, mais, à faute égale, bien plus souvent interpellés, criminalisés et incarcérés. Ces poncifs sur la culture de la pauvreté sont à analyser au regard de la destruction des services publics et des emplois, du dépouillement de l'école publique, et de la mise en échec du modèle républicain dans les quartiers de relégation où habitent ces jeunes.

AbstractSociologists of social movements agree that culture matters for studying collective action, and have proposed a variety of theoretical concepts to understand culture and mobilization, including framing, free spaces, and collective identity. Despite this, what we mean when we say "culture matters" remains unclear. In this paper, I draw on 30 years of social movement theory and research to construct a typology of three ways that culture is seen as shaping social movement activity: (i) culture renders particular sites fruitful for social movements to mobilize out of; (ii) culture serves as a resource that assists in movement action; and (iii) culture provides wider contexts that shape movement activity. This typology represents the analytic building blocks of theories about culture and social movements, and is presented towards the end of clarifying and sharpening our theoretical concepts. The paper concludes with suggestions for future research that draw on, refine, and extend these three building blocks.
