Categories of creative theories: developmental, psychometric, economic. Stage and componential: cognitive, problem solving & expertise based, problem finding, evolutionary (darwinian, typological, systems (see tables in reading) While culture may be viewed as a vehicle for rights or political claims, part of purpose is to show that justice must also be done to culture itself. Doing justice to culture, for example, includes respect for the rules and law of a genre. Again, to clarify, this is not meant to idealise or romanticise labour, or to ignore its deleterious effects, but simply to recognise the standing of cultural work as a specific kind of practice. Cultural work = social, economic and aesthetic value. Distributive justice: who receives the most prestigious cultural education, the highest pay and the best (or indeed any) kind of cultural industry job. Equality + equity are key possible principles for justice. Primary concerns in cultural industries: a) economic resourcing, b) cultural expression/recognition, c) political participation.
