Review of the hardback: 'Brian Moeran and Jesper Strandgaard
Pedersen have assembled a world class group of experts in the field
of creative industries. The chapters in this book present a
fascinating range of conceptual and empirical perspectives on the
emerging phenomenon of cultural fairs, festivals and arts
competitions. This outstanding book should be required reading for
anyone interested in the intersection of cultural and economic
institutions in contemporary society.' Roy Suddaby, Geddes
Professor of Business, University of Alberta
Review of the hardback: 'This book brings fresh insights to
understanding creative industries. The various chapters offer a
lively account of the processes of cultural production, exchange
and consumption across a wide span of creative industries. The book
is particularly valuable for advancing an episodic perspective,
which reveals how pivotal cultural 'happenings', including
festivals, fairs, and tournaments, function as 'field configuring
events', which can reveal the role of cultural values in addressing
economic concerns. Mirroring the cultural turn taking place in the
social sciences, this volume is a must-read for researchers of the
creative industries, as well as those seeking a thoughtful
explanation of how values can serve as a touchstone for negotiating
economic concerns. A most enjoyable and enlightening volume!' Mary
Ann Glynn, Joseph F. Cotter Professor of Organization Studies,
Boston College
'The chapters make fascinating reading, vividly illustrating the
confrontation between symbolic practices and economic exchange in
the markets for cultural products.' David Throsby, The Times
Literary Supplement
'This volume is important to anyone interested in studying,
teaching, or working in creative industries in particular and
complex institutional fields and the critical organizational
process of valuation in general.' Mukti Khaire, Administrative
Science Quarterly
