The Spanish contribution to the study of cultural industries. The first steps

Research output: Chapter in BookChapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Between the introduction of the term “culture industry” in the late 1940s by Ger-
man thinkers as Adorno and Horkheimer, and the promotion of the concept “crea-
tive industries” at the end of the past century, a group of French scholars developed
complementing critical approaches in the 1970s that offered a platform for a ro-
bust, specific theoretical approach that Spanish authors would further develop. The
article offers a review of the most relevant contributions of these authors, focussing
on the Spanish ones. To do this, an exhaustive bibliographical review was carried
out and two principal Spanish representatives were interviewed.
