On differences between the cultural and the creative

Introduction

• Cultural industries is not new, but creative industries seems to be quite new.
• We should differ the cultural from the creative.
• Firstly, there is a need to understand what cultural industries is. One can consider what Keith Negus refers to as "cultural produces an industry". Cultural relations beyond the work place as well as the particularities of an organizational culture are integral to how production take place, to what it produces and for whom. Here the cultural is not only concerned with the outcome of technical and routine processes within institutions, or the upshop of patterns of ownership and industrial commodity production. Like what Williams argues, culture is both "arts", the aesthetic or cultural products, and "way(s) of life", the work place in which people live and work. Thus, culture is concerned with relations of power. In addition to cultural values associated with particular media outputs, culture refers to the status of cultural labour and their practices within what Pierre Bourdieu refers to as a "cultural field".
