Abstract

The topic of creative industries, which attained an important place in South African economy with policy regulations, is discussed generally with positive outputs in research reports and articles. However, some research data indicate that the inequalities caused by South African unique historical and social process are reproduced in creative industries. With reference to these, this study examines the topic, which has been discussed for a long time in the literature, in the context of South Africa, and tries to place creative industries’ contribution to the economy, affects on urban development and inequalities they contain within themselves in a historical and sociological context.

Güney Afrika’da Yaratıcı Endüstrilerin Kalkınmaya Katkıları ve Yeniden Ürettikleri Eşitsizlikler

Abstract

Güney Afrika ekonomisinde politika düzenlemeleriyle birlikte önemli bir yer edinmiş yaratıcı endüstriler meselesi, araştırma raporlarında ve makalelerde çoğunlukla olumlu çıktıları üzerinden ele alınmaktadır. Ancak birtakım araştırma verileri, Güney Afrika’nın kendine has tarihsel ve toplumsal süreçlerinin yarattığı eşitsizliklerin, yaratıcı sektörler içinde yeniden üretildiğini göstermektedir. Bu verilere referansla bu çalışma kapsamında, literatürde uzun süredir tartışılan yaratıcı endüstriler konusu Güney Afrika bağlamında irdelenmiş, yaratıcı endüstrilerin ekonomiye katkısı, kentsel gelişime etkileri ve kendi içinde barındırdığı eşitsizlikler tarihsel ve sosyolojik bir bağlama oturtulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bunun sonucunda yaratıcı endüstrilerde ortaya çıkan eşitsizliklerin, Güney Afrika’da üstesinden gelinmeye çalışılan kurumsallaşmış eşitsizlik örüntülerinin devamı niteliğinde oldukları ortaya konulmuştur.
