The Culture Industry

Culture Industry is a concept pioneered by Adorno and Horkheimer in their book Dialectics of Enlightenment (1947).The choice of each part of the product purchased for the convenience of general consumption will determine the characteristics of the consumption and whether the product was produced according to plan. The divisions have the same structure, or at least are related to each other, and are established within a system that is not very different from each other. But that can only be done by centralizing technology and by centralizing economics and management.”

As a special form of culture and economy, the cultural sector has influenced people’s views on culture. Different countries view the cultural industry from different perspectives and have different ways of understanding it. Cultural industries are activities that produce, reproduce, process and disseminate cultural goods and services in accordance with industrial standards. It is defined as carrying out standardized industrial production, distribution, distribution, consumption and cultural goods in organizations.

Cultural industries focus on meeting people’s cultural needs and often provide spiritual products. It involves the activation and marketing of cultural identity. Strictly speaking, it includes literary and artistic creations, music, photography, dance, industrial design, and architecture.

The cultural industry can be divided into the following areas:

1. Commercial products that produce and sell cultural products in a relatively independent form (e.g. projects, books, media, film and television, audiovisual, etc.)

2. Provision of cultural services in the form of work (e.g. performance, theatre, performance, planning and mediator)

3) Industries that bring cultural value to other goods and sectors (e.g. furniture, jewellery, graphic design, cultural tourism, etc.).

UNESCO’s definition is only to determine the industrial value of cultural heritage and the characteristics of the four parts, the expansion and consumption of products (including audiovisual publications, newspapers, books, books, etc.) and related services (including screenplay design).

This includes cultural industries and related industries such as:

1. Productive activities for the production, manufacture, dissemination and display of cultural and direct goods and services, including those that meet the spiritual needs of the people;

2. Additional productive activities necessary for the production of cultural property;

3. Production, including the production and sale of cultural objects, or the means of production of cultural objects (for use, dissemination and display);

4. Specialized facilities for manufacturing and marketing activities of cultural goods.

In the context of globalization, many governments have found the alliance between cultural industries: on the one hand, economic globalization has eased the government’s concerns about market monopoly. As global competition developed, governments began to redefine their definition of market monopoly. The expansion of the scope of market access has relaxed the monopoly rules of cooperative innovation, and effectively reduced the restrictive factors that hinder the development of industry alliances. By contrast, economic globalization has led governments to pay more attention to the international competitiveness of domestic industries. They stressed the need to support industrial alliances to enhance industrial competitiveness and to address issues related to common industrial development, especially industrial innovation.
