"Laikwan Pang's thoroughly engaging study sets a new standard for analysis of the 'creative economy,' not just in China, but in every country where government officials have elevated the pursuit of creativity into industrial policy."—Andrew Ross, author of Fast Boat to China
Meanwhile, copyright infringement proliferates, angering international trade organizations. Pang examines China's IPR-compliant industries, as well as its numerous copyright violations. Creativity and Its Discontents is a refreshing rejoinder to uncritical celebrations of the creative economy.. Theorizing the relationship between knockoffs and appropriation art, Pang offers an incisive interpretation of China's flourishing art scene. Creativity and Its Discontents is a sharp critique of the intellectual property rights (IPR)–based creative economy, particularly as it is embraced or ignored in China. Nevertheless, globalization has compelled China to undertake endeavors involving intellectual property rights. Laikwan Pang argues that the creative economy—in which creativity is an individual asset to be commodified and protected as property—is an intensification of Western modernity and capitalism at odds with key aspects of Chinese culture. She describes how China promotes intellectual property rights in projects such as the development of cultural tourism in the World Heritage city of Lijiang, the transformation of Hong Kong cinema, and the cultural branding of Beijing. She points to the lack of copyright protections for Japanese anime as the motor of China's dynamic anime culture. Pang argues that piracy and counterfeiting embody the intimate connection between creativity and copying
Creative Labour IsabellaC Laikwan Pang's book on China's promotion of its creative industries is fun and excellent - I read it in one sitting. Buy it, if only for the discussion of 'national cultural security'. Three Stars pretty boring book I had to buy for class bad arguments and very Chinese-english writing style
