The overall aim of the course is to analyse and understand the function of fairs, festivals, and other competitive events in the creative industries. It is taught primarily by lectures, with accompanying tutorials, and focuses on the different values that people in different creative industries bring to bear during the course of their work. In this respect, the course seeks to tease apart the strictly economic from other, more cultural aspects that go into the production, distribution and sales of cultural goods.
