[Text  Description automatically generated]What Have China's Cultural Industries got to tell Australia?

Professor Justin O'Connor
UniSA Creative

Abstract
Developing themes from my recent book Red Creative, I will take an historical perspective on contemporary policies for the cultural industries in China. In the light of the signal absence of such policies in Australia and the devastating impact of the Pandemic on the cultural sector here, I will suggest that though China cannot be a model for Australia - neither pragmatically nor normatively - the importance it accords to culture, as "industry" and as central to social citizenship, is instructive for what it says about our failure to even have a CCI policy. China's investment in this area, as with other East Asian states, reflects badly on the current Australian government's attacks on art, culture, public media and higher education. It represents a re-enforcement of a growing elite 'extractivism', and an undoing of Australian social democracy established with some difficulty between Federation and 1945.

Abstract
This seminar presentation features presentations from the Australian-based contributors to the new collection Pathways into Creative Working Lives, edited by Stephanie Taylor and Susan Luckman. The promise of 'doing what you love' continues to attract new entrants into the sector of the cultural and creative industries. The collection asks if the promise is betrayed by the realities of pathways into creative work or, more positively, if a creative identification presents new personal and professional possibilities in the precarious contexts of contemporary work and employment. Two decades into the 21st century, aspiring creative workers can undertake training and higher education courses. They can attempt to convert personal enthusiasms and amateur activities into income-earning careers. Many are self-employed, some utilising skills developed in other occupations. This book presents research on pathways into creative work in a range of occupations and national contexts, including Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Finland, the Netherlands, Russia, the US, and the UK. This seminar presents research from Australia, China, Vietnam, and Iceland.
