The fate of local places increasingly rests on their capability to capitalize on their highly specific local cultural resources. Cultural Commodities in Japanese Rural Revitalization: Tsugaru Nuri Lacquerware and Tsugaru Shamisen examines the dynamics of this reality for the Tsugaru District of the Aomori Prefecture, Japan, and its two dominant cultural commodities, a lacquerware and a musical performance. Organized on the basis of policy, production and consumption, the research points to historical trajectory and a combinative conceptual-operational space as the means of identifying cultural and economic potential for a cultural commodity. This analytical approach provides both for assessing the local consciousness and identifying informed policy and industry management for the commodity, making it possible to realize its potential in local revitaliszation.

At its heart this book is about innovation and the innovation process. On the way, it considers aesthetics, design, creativity and the creative industries, and a number of other similar topics. Much of the existing economic literature on innovation has taken a particularly technological or functional viewpoint as to what sort of new products and processes are to be considered innovations. One of the key things this book shows is that there is a type of innovation, here labelled 'soft innovation', primarily concerned with changes in products (and perhaps processes) of an aesthetic or intellectu

Les médias changent de paradigme. La révolution numérique bouleverse les règles du jeu et les positions de force des principaux acteurs. La possibilité de consommer de la musique, des journaux en ligne et des programmes audiovisuels grâce à une simple ligne téléphonique oblige à reconsidérer l'économie des médias traditionnels. Cet ouvrage entièrement refondu fournit les principales clés pour comprendre la nouvelle économie des médias à l'ère numérique. À partir des concepts fondamentaux (biens publics, marchés à deux versants, effets de réseaux), il analyse le nouvel environnement face aux nouveaux enjeux et défis de ce secteur (gratuité, piratage, interactivité, nouveaux acteurs), étudie les principaux secteurs d'activité des médias (télévision, presse écrite, Internet et publicité) et analyse le rôle de l'État et de la régulation via notamment les modalités de l'intervention.

An international trade emerged between 1870 and 1895 that incorporated the circulation of books among countries in Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and Australia. This book surveys the transactions of select British and colonial publishers and distributors who pioneered distribution routes and used communication and transportation advances to overcome book piracy and other impediments to trade. The international print economy in the late nineteenth century included a social network of agents who often cooperated, as well as competed, with each other to improve book distribution and access to overseas markets. Increasingly, agents like Edward Petherick who developed an international distribution agency, a Victorian Amazon.com, thought of the world as a linked network in which books were transnational commodities. One connection led to another as books were produced, distributed, and consumed, and the social network expanded as agents engaged with one another in order to facilitate the international circulation of books.

Linking the study of business and politics, Christine Haynes reconstructs the passionate and protracted debate over the development of the book trade in nineteenth-century France. In tracing the contest over literary production in France, Haynes emphasizes the role of the Second Empire in enacting - but also in limiting - press freedom and literary property.
