Las industrias culturales y creativas en el siglo XXI: un marco conceptual [The cultural and creative industries in the 21st century: a conceptual framework]

Abstract

In recent years, the cultural and creative industries have reached a great importance in the frame of the regional Smart Specialization Strategies. The European Union, in the 2020 Strategy, recognizes the central role that these industries play in the growth, innovation, competitiveness and future of the European Community and its citizens, and recommends increasing the promotion and innovation of cultural and creative industries as a framework for the future development of Europe. However, the concept has evolved considerably from its definition included in The Dialectic of the Enlightenment in the past century.
