About the book: The MyCreativity Reader is a collection of critical  
research into the creative industries. The material develops out of the  
MyCreativity Convention on International Creative Industries Research  
held in Amsterdam, November 2006. This two-day conference sought to  
bring the trends and tendencies around the creative industries into  
critical question.

The 'creative industries' concept was initiated by the UK Blair  
government in 1997 to revitalise de-industrialised urban zones.  
Gathering momentum after being celebrated in Richard Florida's  
best-seller The Creative Class (2002), the concept mobilised around the  
world as the zeitgeist of creative entrepreneurs and policy-makers.

Despite the euphoria surrounding the creative industries, there has  
been very little critical research that pays attention to local and  
national and variations, working conditions, the impact of restrictive  
intellectual property regimes and questions of economic sustainability.  
The reader presents academic research alongside activist reports that  
aim to dismantle the buzz-machine.
