This special issue of Cultural Trends is dedicated to the Indian cultural and creative industries. By covering specific aspects of the cultural and creative sectors in India– from film festivals to music and performing arts, from cinema to tourism, including a policy review on innovation in the creative industries – the articles included in this special issue offer a comprehensive overview of the relationship between the cultural and creative industries and the wider economic, social, cultural and political processes taking place within India and its diaspora. Following the definition provided by the UNESCO, we understand the cultural and creative industries as those “sectors of organized activity that have as their main objective the production or reproduction, the promotion, distribution, or commercialization of goods, services and activities of content derived from cultural, artistic or heritage origins” (Raufast et al., 2015, p. 11). This is a definition particularly useful in the context of India, as it acknowledges the cultural value of the creative industries while emphasising their economic aspect, especially considering that the very commercialisation of cultural products in India is often entangled in a complex web of formal and informal practices which are creative in themselves. As the articles in this special issue show, this is true for example in the case of the transnational circulation of music, the performing arts as well as the organisation and promotion of tourist packages or tourism trails abroad. Cultural and creative industries represent important drivers of economic development, cultural activism (Dasgupta & Mahn, 2023) and their potential for economic growth was recently reiterated in a report published by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, which observes that they “provide 6.2 per cent of all employment, generating nearly 50 million jobs worldwide” (UNCTAD, 2022, p. 1). Research in the field also tends to highlight the creative sector’s potential for the promotion of “cultural diversity, social inclusion and environmental sustainability” (UNCTAD 2022 , p. xix; see also Shaban et al., 2022, pp. 4–6), urban regeneration (Florida, 2002), and social and cultural development more generally. In the context of South Asia, Malik and Dudrah (2016, p. 133) observe that cultural and creative industries are valued especially for their potential to “stimulate cultural and social development; and provide an economic tool for growth and development based on the potential to create employment, generate income, earn export revenues and alleviate poverty”. India also has a large informal economy which has grown around handicraft and textile production. Handicrafts is in fact the second largest employer after agriculture
本期《文化趋势》特刊专门介绍印度的文化和创意产业。通过涵盖印度文化和创意部门的具体方面-从电影节到音乐和表演艺术,从电影到旅游,包括对创意产业创新的政策审查-本期特刊中的文章全面概述了文化和创意产业与印度及其侨民发生的更广泛的经济,社会,文化和政治进程之间的关系。根据联合国教科文组织提供的定义,我们将文化和创意产业理解为“有组织的活动部门,其主要目标是生产或复制、推广、分销或商业化源自文化、艺术或遗产的商品、服务和内容活动”(Raufast et al., 2015, p. 11)。这个定义在印度的背景下特别有用,因为它承认创意产业的文化价值,同时强调其经济方面,特别是考虑到印度文化产品的商业化常常纠缠在一个复杂的正式和非正式的实践网络中,这些实践本身就是创造性的。正如本期特刊的文章所显示的那样,这是正确的,例如在音乐、表演艺术的跨国流通以及组织和推广旅游套餐或国外旅游路线的情况下。文化和创意产业是经济发展和文化行动主义的重要驱动力(Dasgupta & Mahn, 2023),其经济增长潜力最近在联合国贸易和发展会议发表的一份报告中得到重申,该报告指出,文化和创意产业“提供了6.2%的就业机会,在全球创造了近5000万个就业机会”(UNCTAD, 2022)。该领域的研究也倾向于强调创意部门在促进“文化多样性、社会包容和环境可持续性”方面的潜力(贸发会议2022年,第19页;另见Shaban et ., 2022, pp. 4-6),城市更新(Florida, 2002),以及更广泛的社会和文化发展。在南亚的背景下,Malik和Dudrah(2016,第133页)观察到,文化创意产业尤其受到重视,因为它们具有“刺激文化和社会发展;并根据创造就业、创造收入、赚取出口收入和减轻贫困的潜力,为增长和发展提供经济工具”。印度还有一个庞大的非正式经济,主要围绕手工业和纺织品生产而发展。事实上,手工业是仅次于农业的第二大雇主

ABSTRACT This paper reports on an ongoing research study funded by UKRI to map India’s creative industries. Using an ecosystem framework, it has focused on strategy/policy; tangible and intangible infrastructure; funding and investment to understand innovation drivers and barriers across nine sub-sector value chains. The research established there is no one creative industries policy. Responsibility is split across 16 government ministries and 28 states. Much of India’s economy is informal, with limited data on policy effects. Nevertheless, four important policies are shaping the creative industries landscape, supplemented by investment from global brands into textiles, media and advertising. These are driving innovation and design for social and ecological sustainability. At the time of writing the study is undertaking deep dives into CreaTec, Design for sustainability in fashion and textiles, and emerging geographic concentrations. It has identified a distinctive focus on how supply chains might inform UK circular fashion and media production policy.
