A Review of “Sitings: Critical Approaches to Korean Geography”

As is the case with many edited volumes, the substantive quality of the individual contributions is uneven, but the editing is consistently good. The book would have benefited from a concluding chapter tying together the major findings, especially because the chapters address a wide variety of issues. One element of diversity running throughout the volume is the definition and composition of the creative industries. For example, Cooke and Lazzeretti distinguish between cultural economy and creative industries on the basis of financial support. Whereas the cultural economy is supported wholly, or in part, by taxes, the creative industries are more entrepreneurial. On the other hand, Capone subdivides the creative industries into technology-related creative industries and cultural industries. In the same vein, creative clusters are not consistently defined. In a sense, the diversity of the book is an asset because readers can find relevant chapters and passages depending on their primary interest. Creative Cities, Cultural Clusters, and Local Economic Development would be suitable for a graduate course focusing on the cultural or creative industries. It will also serve as a valuable reference book because of the diversity of topics. The chapters contain numerous citations that enhance the volume’s utility as a reference.
