La economía de la cultura (y de la comunicación) como objeto de estudio

Abstract

The growing importance of the cultural and communicative economic fact points to the need for a general economy of culture as a discipline that cannot be subsumed in an all embracing "economy of creation". The explanation lies in its features, derived from symbolic creation and from its processes of work and valorisation, from its peculiar relation with the markets and users, and from its social efficacy in terms of collective enjoyment, knowledge and structuring.
