The Miège, Bernard creator text xxu New York International General cop. 1989 1989 monographic eng 165 p. Although the industrial production of culture is not a new phenómenon, in recent years it has undergone a spectacular growth, which, in spite of the crisis, is likely to continue in the coming years. But while the term "cultural industries" since the Frankfurt School has become well-accepted on the left and elsewhere there are still very few critical left studies analyzing concretely how the sphere of cultural activities function within capitalism, both on a national as well as an international scale. This collection of texts sets forth such an analysis. By scrutinizing contemporary cultural production from a critical economic and sociological viewpoint it attempts to understand the mechanisms and processes underlying such phenomena as the cultural commodity, the cultural industries, children's cultural products, artistic and intellectual creation, information systems and cable television.
