As digital environments become increasingly individualised, instant, ubiquitous, and disintermediated, this book demonstrates the continuing relevance of intermediaries at the intersection of design, creativity, community engagement, and corporate social responsibility. The authors examine intermediaries as enablers of mutual benefit and offer a proactive, interventionist, and holistic approach to intermediation practice that steps beyond design thinking. By means of case studies that employ the 3C project design methodology—Community, Culture, Commerce—the authors provide an accessible introduction to intermediation at the nexus of theory and practice and signpost new opportunities for researchers and practitioners in the post-COVID environment.

This book traces the emergence and development of cultural and creative industries (CCI) policy in Europe in the last 25 years. Why and how CCI policy has been designed and implemented in Europe is a central question of the book, in particular with regards to negotiations and relations between policy actors across established policy domains. There are many policy publications and reports on best practice and general descriptions of how policy systems work, fewer describe policy development over time and from a comparative perspective. Drawing mainly on research in policy studies, this book aims to improve knowledge of the dynamics of cultural and creative activities as well as that of policymaking in a changing policy landscape and increasingly cross-disciplinary research frameworks. Katja Lindqvist is Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer at Lund University, Sweden. As Art Historian with a PhD in Business Administration, she researches and teaches in the field of arts management and has published texts on museum economy and competence development, entrepreneurship and the arts, public policy and governance, and other related fields.

“With an impressive number of sources, Tereza achieves an encyclopaedic overview of the audio documentary production, or feature. Her work has the potential to become a pillar of specialized literature, dealing with the present field of radio.“ —Jan Gogola, Documentarist, Tomas Bata University, Czechia “You pick up European Radio Documentary to learn how the audio feature has evolved and is celebrated. You put it down challenged and provoked as to how to nourish creativity not just in one’s own audio making but also through the power of coming together.“ —Diarmuid McIntyre, Producer & Founder of the HearSay Festival, Ireland “Based upon extensive research and in-depth interviews, Tereza tells the story of passionate explorers of the most discrete of all media - radio. Written with bravura, humour, impertinence, and clear historical insight.“ —Edwin Brys, Royal Institute for Theatre, Cinema and Sound, Belgium “In a period with audio bits, TV snippets and hasty competitions, Tereza makes us familiar with this sounding globe, which we must preserve like our planet on the whole.“ —Helmut Kopetzky, Author & Producer, Germany “Tereza characterized the generational change which had been difficult to implement over the past decades. To date, no one has undertaken such task in such complexity.“ —Andrea Hanáčková, Documentarist, Palacký University, Czechia This book studies the history and significance of radio documentaries in Europe, and the institutions that are specialized on this genre. Focused on the 50-year history of the International Feature Conference (an annual gathering of radio documentarians from around the world), the book discusses the Prix Europa, Prix Italia, the Third Coast International Audio Festival, and the HearSay Audio Arts Festival. The book tells the story of people who chose sound as their lifestyle and who spread their passion worldwide. Tereza Reková is an award-winning producer, screenwriter, and podcaster. She is one of the current leading Czech representatives of documentary makers who reflect on their work theoretically – she teaches Radio Studies at JAMU and inspires young creators to work with audio. .

Work of Fiction: Making a Living from Writing in the UK explores the lived experiences of fiction writers in the UK and how they make a living. Based on a substantial body of interviews with a range of fiction writers, it considers the ways that writers think about and talk about writing as work and how ‘discourses of writing’ operate to support or undermine them as cultural workers. It argues that discourses of love, luck, magic, and ‘being a writer’ function in complex ways to position writers in enchanted and elevated spaces which both nurture their practice and undermine their status as remunerated workers in the creative sector. The book shows how the positives and negatives of often precarious cultural work are played out for fiction writers. It has implications for writers in the ways that they think about and talk about themselves as workers, and how the publishing industry values their contributions. Christina Williams is Research Fellow in Cultural Economies & Associate Lecturer in Media Communications at the University of West England, Bristol, UK.

This edited volume presents 27 original essays by living composers from all around the globe, reflecting on the creation of their music. Coterminous to the recent worldwide resurgence in feminist focus, the distinctive feature of this collection is the “snapshots” of creative processes and conceptualizing on the part of women who write music, writing in the present day, from prominent early-career composers to major figures, from a range of ethnic backgrounds in the contemporary music field. The chapters step into the juncture point at which feminism finds itself: as binary conceptions of gender are being dissolved, with critiques of the attendant gender-based historical generalizations of composers, and with the growing awareness of the rightful place of First Nations' cultural voices, the contributors explore what, actually, is being composed by women, and what they think about their world. The needs that this book serves are acutely felt: despite recent social gains, and sector initiatives and programs encouraging and presenting the work of women who compose music, their works are yet to receive commensurate exposure with that of their male counterparts. In its multi-pronged, direct response to this dire situation, this vibrant volume highlights established as well as emerging women composers on the international stage; reveals myriad issues around feminism, as broadly conceived; and gives insights, from the composers' own voices, on the inner workings of their composition process. The volume thus presents a contemporary moment in time across the generations and within developments in musical composition. With its unique insights, this book is essential for academics and practitioners interested in the illuminations of the current working landscape for creative women. Linda Kouvaras is a professor at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, the University of Melbourne, Australia. Natalie Williams’ most recent academic posting was as Interim Dean at the School of Music, Art and Theatre, North Park University, Chicago, United States of America.

"Magaudda and Bonini present a look into digital platforms that will change the conversation about how platforms operate. Instead of assuming that platforms are neutral, Magaudda and Bonini show that platforms are embedded in networks of people. As a result, they show how platforms have become the new gatekeepers for cultural content. This book will change the way we think about platforms for years to come." —David Arditi, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Texas at Arlington, USA "Magaudda and Bonini are two of the most prolific and thoughtful scholars on the topic of music and technology. In this book they provide insight into how streaming platforms are shaping music production and consumption cultures. This book will help us better grasp how we can intervene in creating a music ecosystem that benefits everyone.” —Robert Prey, Assistant Professor at the Center for Media and Journalism Studies, University of Groningen, Netherlands Grounded in more than a decade of field research, this book uses empirical examples, quantitative data, and qualitative interviews with young music consumers as well as music industry professionals to understand how the platforms behind music production, distribution and listening work in our digital society. Bringing together the perspectives from science and technology studies, media studies, and the political economy of digital platforms, the book outlines the process of mutual construction between music digital platforms and the cultural value of music in today’s society, and also reflects on the complicated relationship between the power of platforms and the agency of listeners. Tiziano Bonini is Associate Professor in Sociology of Culture and Communication at the University of Siena. He has co-edited the book Radio Audiences and Participation in the age of network society (with B. Monclus, Routledge, 2015) and co-authored the book Algorithms of Resistance (with E.
