Abstract

Cultural policies and the creative industry policies included in them have long attracted widespread attention in the academic and industry circles. However, the government and scholars have big differences in their perceptions of its value orientation. The government pays more attention to short-term economic value, while cultural scholars pay more attention to long-term cultural value. In this context, seeking a balance between the two has become a new argument. This article selects the “Creative State” in Victoria, Australia as a research case, and analyzes the value orientation and cultural cognition embodied in the policy from three aspects: aim, the factors driving its development, and potential consequences. This article believes that the policy includes the concepts of glocalism and instrumentalism, which emphasizes economic value as well as cultural value. However, its consideration of cultural value is still insufficient. For the formulation of cultural policies, the government should take a more comprehensive consideration of emerging culture as its goal.
