Session 4: Popular Culture
| Co-organisers |
Centre for Cultural Policy Research, The University
of Hong Kong |
Popular culture is
commercial. Popular culture is creative. The twin
demand of market success and cultural
creativity has always posed great challenges
for those working in popular culture.
In this session, popular cultural
producers will share their front-line experiences
on how they meet the challenges in an age which witnesses
the rapid rise of non-local markets and competition,
changing media environment and increasingly diversified
tastes among users.
We shall focus on two themes:
Making stars:
Stars are central to popular culture. We shall discuss
several outstanding cases of making, managing and
presenting popular cultural stars in the Greater China
region in the new global age. We shall see the various
ways in which cultural producers mix unique local
and cosmopolitan elements to excite regional and even
global cultural imaginations.
Crossing Boundaries:
The best popular cultural works appeal to ordinary
people’s pleasures at the same time as they generate
deeper cultural resonances. Popular cultural producers
often need to work on the edge, and make innovations
across conventional boundaries of media and performance.
We shall, through the reflections of two outstanding
practitioners, look at the craft and vision of boundary
crossing in popular culture.
