Consumer Co-creation and Situated Creativity

This paper examines the industrial dynamics of new digital media from the perspective of consumer co-creation. We find that consumer-producer interactions are an increasingly important source of value-creation. We conclude that cultural and economic analysis might be usefully united about these themes, and that situated creativity should be construed as analysis of an ongoing co-evolutionary process between economic and cultural dynamics.Consumer co-creation, creative industries, evolutionary economics, cultural studies,
