Contenuti

The course aims at critically describing the economic processes governing the cultural sector and its complex phenomenology. The creative processes, the productive structure, the demand mechanisms and the features of cultural policy will be analysed both from a theoretical perspective and from the operational point of view, providing the class with experiences and case studies within the consistent frame of the economic value of culture.

Testi/Bibliografia

At the beginning of the course the class will be directly given - at no cost - the reading materials in .pdf format. The list consists of articles and book chapters written by th teacher.

Metodi didattici

Lectures develop along the delicate balance between the wide view of the whole cultural sector, needed to appraise and understand its roots, values and goals, and the specific description of the individual strategies, choices and behaviours within such a complex framework. The funding idea is that without fully understanding the general frame it is not possible to learn and manage the operational tools. Examples and cases will be always interpreted as practical facts within a wide system in evolution.

Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento

Discussion is encouraged during the lectures. The final exam, in oral form, does not aim at verifying the students' memory but at extracting their ability to focus upon causal relationships and the economic logic.

Strumenti a supporto della didattica

The course is based upon lectures and seminars. The presence of external speakers is consistently tuned with the topics and issues dealt with during the course.
