中原经济区文化创意产业发展研究

发展文化创意产业,可创造经济新增长点、优化区域产业结构配置,对区域经济的发展具有重要的促进作用。中原经济区具有深厚的文化积淀、便捷的交通运输、丰富的人力资源,文化创意产业发展空间广阔,但文化创意产业人才的缺乏以及目前薄弱的发展基础限制了其发展。针对这一情况,政府需进行全局性规划管理、制定文化创意产业扶持政策、加大文化创意产业人才引进与培养力度,加大知识产权保护力度等,促进中原经济区文化创意产业发展。     

Nuevo Latino: Rebranding Latin American Cuisine

Nuevo Latino Cuisine invites diners to experience the vertigo of consuming a reinvented version of traditional Latin American food while enjoying a cosmopolitan atmosphere at sophisticated restaurants. Using “border thinking” and critical ethnography, this paper discusses how the restaurant industry in the US reproduces colonial desire by aestheticizing and commodifying traditional meals. This article assesses the rebranding of Latin American Cuisine as a fashionable consumer trend where identity, class, and cultural representations are resignified through consumption practices. The central issue guiding this research consists of identifying the rationales and strategies used by the restaurant industry when rebranding Latin American cuisine. Understanding Nuevo Latino at the intersection of hybrid cultural forms, cosmopolitanism, and the power structures of market forces in late capitalistic societies is fundamental to assessing the colonization of lifeworlds by the economic system, which imposes an alternative process of subjection and subjectivation through consumption.     

Women's Magazines: Construction of Identities and Cultural Consumption in Hong Kong

Consumption is an integral part of contemporary capitalistic society. By means of a textual analysis of letters to the editor of a women's magazine in Hong Kong, as well as in-depth interviews with readers and editors, this paper examines how women's cultural consumption creates, constructs and circulates women's identities. Results reveal that the processes of identification can be constructed on three equivalent consumption levels. Firstly, women readers identify certain "imaginary communities" through reading the magazine, and by modeling the behaviors and styles of the communities they feel they are sustaining their relationship with them. Secondly, women identify with an idealized community-constructed beauty and seek to consume products which collectively suggests this idealized beauty for them. Thirdly, women regard the "communities" as providing shelter for rapport and comfort from the emotional and relational problems of real life. In sum, structured identification-consumption has shaped working class women into an identity, which conforms to society's dominant capitalist logic. Despite these findings, however, there are always a few women who attempt to seek alternative lifestyles.     

A Cross-Cultural Perspective on Management in Kenya

ABSTRACT

The management discipline is largely populated by models embedded in western cultural views and values. This paper addresses the generally misplaced confidence of management scholars in utilizing western culture-based models of management to analyze management practices and perspectives in African countries. This paper starts with the premise that management is, at its core, a cultural practice that is derived from a cultural value system. As such, exporting US/western management models and practices abroad requires adaptation to local cultural dynamics and socioeconomic conditions. Furthermore, with western management models using nation-state as a unit of analysis to analyze culture, there is an assumption that all peoples (and localities) within a national culture are isomorphic in their value systems. From a cross-cultural management perspective, this is not only misleading but problematic because, by implication, international managers ignore internal cultural differences and dynamics and how various cultural groups interact with foreign businesses. This study argues that an informed understanding of a nation's sociopolitical history, economic conditions, geography, and internal cultural dynamics is crucial for international managers working in Africa. Using Kenya as an example, the study discusses the misplaced application of western culture-based management models and proposes a culturally-integrative framework of management.     

中国文化产业空间集聚水平及其影响因素研究

本文运用定量测度方法,从时空角度描述了中国文化产业空间集聚水平和变化趋势,揭示了文化产业空间集聚的影响因素。结果表明,我国文化产业总体集聚程度一直相当高,且存在明显的行业间差异。对人才、知识、技术要求较高的创新性行业空间集聚水平高,越来越向沿海省区集中;而主要服务于本地居民的行业,空间集聚水平较低,呈分散布局。通过系统考察文化产业空间集聚的影响因素,发现其重要因素依次为规模经济、劳动力素质和成本、产业政策因素、文化环境和区位通达性,但不同行业的省区分布影响因素差异较大。     

文化创意型旅游综合体开发理论模型研究

文化创意型旅游综合体是泛旅游时代的产物,是一种崭新的产业业态,理论上是对既往各种文化旅游开发模式的融合创新,具有多产业、多功能、多目标、综合性等显著特点。文化创意型旅游综合体开发是一项复杂、系统的综合性创新工程,需要从现象中总结运行规律,在理论创新中寻求发展模式。文章梳理了文化创意型旅游综合体的实践背景及研究现状,初步构建了以定位为核心的文化创意型旅游综合体开发ALLTICCE（八大要素）理论模型,并对理论模型进行了分析研究。理论模型的构建可为中国文化创意型旅游综合体的理性投资开发提供新的思考空间。     

广西文化产业与文化消费供需协调增长目标(下)——1991～2011年实然分析与至2020年应然测算

从1991～2011年统计数据分析,认为广西城乡文化消费需求增长"十一五"期间年均增长幅度明显下降,与之相对应的广西人均积蓄处于逐年增长势头,两者之间呈现"负相关"关系。2010～2011年,广西人均文化消费逐年增长并持续较大幅度回升,而广西城乡人均积蓄年度增长出现较大幅度下降,两者之间的"负相关"关系显著。城乡文化消费需求体现出一种"积蓄增长负相关效应","十一五"期间广西城乡之间非文化消费增长的差距略有加大。文化产业的发展空间必须从不可或缺的"内生动力"中拓展出来,更需要落实在自身的"出发点和落脚点"之上。以扩大人民群众文化消费需求和促进城乡、区域均衡共享成为文化建设和文化产业未来十年发展的目标。     

花山文化产业化发展构想

产业化是文化发展的一种趋势,是保护民族文化以防止文化同质化的一种有效途径。花山文化是以花山崖壁画为物质载体,包括神秘的崖壁画、明丽的明江、浓厚的民族风情等为一体而形成的花山文化圈。通过对花山文化的稀缺性、脆弱性和独特性的分析,提出花山文化产业化发展的构想——花山文化文艺化、商品化、节日化;从而带动地区经济的发展,提升民族文化的竞争力,也促进花山文化的传承与保护。
