The Contradictions Of Culture And Commerce Paperback

James David Dean Piecowye

Through this book we trace the interventions of the: state, industry, and public in the development of public policy. An issue continually returned to throughout this analysis is how can public policy analysis link both the creative and analytical elements that arise out of economic, political and social forums as they interact with one another? This book suggests that to really understand the public policy process a synoptic type analysis needs to be undertaken, one that looks at a particular public policy, in this case feature film policy and the influences upon it over an extended period of time. By considering how both culture and economics are intertwined in the definition of Canadian feature film policy and Telefilm Canada's feature film fund's production assistance plan, we are able to suggest who, gets what, when and how from Telefilm Canada and Canadian feature film policy in general.
