Abstract This paper proposes the role of an emerging job role within the virtual reality (VR) film production crew. This role we call the Embodiment Director, involves assisting the VR Film Director in the accomplishment of true immersive film experiences through the use of game engines and VR peripherals. The Embodiment Director will manage the inception of haptics and stimuli technologies that allow for the embodiment of humans within a virtual environment, and they must guarantee precise synchronicity between physical and virtual counterparts, while overseeing the safety use of software and hardware during the entire production process of the VR film experiences. This paper offers a contemporary review of the key creative roles within traditional and virtual film production, in order to generate a concise and valid argument for the role of the Embodiment Director supported by autoethnography.

Abstract This paper examines the experience of Vietnamese game companies in operating and localising online games in Vietnam. The findings were retrieved by analysing the interview results with leaders and experts of notable game companies in Vietnam who know profoundly and broadly about the industry. The main themes include the operational flow of the industry and the localisation process. The analysis reveals that another factor that can be added to the value chain in the current intra-Asian market is Vietnam since this country has deeply engaged with the process of producing and distributing online games. Their operational procedure and localising process also display some distinctive patterns that are analysed in depth.

Abstract The objective of this article is to identify Chilean interest groups related to the export promotion in creative services industries, and understand their perception on their participation in policymaking. This analysis aims to identify and analyze the mechanisms in which these groups influence the design of export promotion policies in Chile. This understanding will allow the strengthening of institution-building and transparency associated with it, thus improving the process by which public policies are generated in Chile, and contributing to the development of the national export sector. The working hypothesis is that creative industries’ interest groups perceive that they have been able to position their interests through joint action between related businesses, professionals and governmental organizations (productive subsectors), supporting their positions in non-economic considerations to strengthen creative industries interests.

Abstract This paper discusses how Iggy Pop’s creativity has been the outcome of a systemic process shaped by the interaction between Iggy Pop as the principal creative agent with the evolving domain and field of Rock music. Iggy Pop’s innovative impact on Rock music over fifty years is explained here by means of applying a systems view of creativity. Iggy Pop transformed the domain of Rock music by operating within the simultaneously constraining and enabling factors of the structure inherent to Rock music songwriting and production. This paper eventually elucidates how creativity and innovation in Iggy Pop’s body of work is the outcome of his adherence to as well as departure from traditions of form and structure inherent to Rock music songwriting and production.

Abstract The motivation to develop this research comes from the marketization which was happening in some cultural domains and led to the orientation change in the cultural domains from cognitive rationality to instrumental rationality. The cognitive rationality is based on values, ethical principles, and religious beliefs to reach an objective. On the other hand, the instrumental rationality is based on a utility evaluation or a cause and consequence analysis (Weber, 2009). From that, it is relevant to comprehend how a new occupation in a particular cultural domain is affected by the marketization process. This research aims to analyze and describe how the marketization process affected the YouTuber occupation in Brazil. For the achievement of this research, 17 semi-structured interviews were conducted with Brazilian YouTubers. The results show that still does not exist a clear definition of a YouTuber, and the term is still in construction. During the development of this research, it was identified that YouTuber’s activities are oriented by more than one type of rationality; however, in some moments, there is a prevalence of only one type.

Abstract In recent years, the longstanding practice of producing and circulating bootleg recordings of Broadway musicals has escalated as have condemnations of this activity as detrimental to the commercial theatre industry. Drawing on work from media industry studies, this article reframes theatre bootlegging not as a detrimental practice, but as one that may have generative contributions to the theatre industry for its promotional effects. Rather than celebrating such efforts as wholly resistant or co-opted, however, we must understand bootlegging as essentially fraught, staging the inherent tension between the Broadway musical as art and commerce and blurring the distinction between producers and consumers. Critical attention to theatrical bootlegging as a social and cultural practice foregrounds the range of stakeholders in theatre culture as well as the myriad ways that they function as market actors.

Abstract This article explores the ongoing relations between creative industries, cultural work and the formation of young Turkish creative professionals’ self- realization practices under the existing conditions of Turkey’s ‘neo authoritarian’ liberalism. Drawing on the relational work perspective from economic sociology and semi-structured interviews with the study’s respondents (N:120), this article will be headed towards the reconsideration of social, economic, political and cultural constitutions of Turkish creative professionals’ formation in the creative economies of Turkey. In contrast with the majority of existing studies on this topic, this study argues that, contemporary capitalism’s impact on the creative professionals’ formations is not the necessarily the same. Profound differences there exist. Especially, the cultural and economic constitutions of creative professionals’ in any given states creative economies conditions. Therefore, my study would conclude that the impact of late capitalism on creative labour is not unidirectional at least not in Turkish labours case. Conversely, the post Fordist service economies provide some positive contributions to Turkish young creative labourers’ subjectivities.

Abstract Rio de Janeiro represents one of the largest creative economy centers in Brazil and underwent urban renewal in preparation for hosting global events. This research aims to investigate cultural consumption patterns and the symbolic importance of the dockland regeneration project as well as its impact on city branding. The first round of data collection was conducted in 2016, the year of the Rio Olympic Games, and the second in 2018, in two new cultural facilities – the Museum of Tomorrow and Rio Art Museum, and an old institution – the National Museum of Fine Arts. The results indicate that the new museums represent a cultural consumption alternative, aligned with the city branding project; however, the old institution seems excluded. The contribution of this paper is to provide insights for museum managers and public authorities regarding issues related to the potential of cultural consumption for the development and branding of a city.
