Entertainment values : how do we assess entertainment and why does it matter?

Author:	Stephen Harrington
Publisher:	London : Palgrave Macmillan, 2017.
Series:	Palgrave entertainment industries.
Edition/Format:	eBook : Document : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	This collection brings together the work of a range of scholars from around the world with different perspectives on one simple question: How can we assess the value of various entertainment products and forms? Entertainment is everywhere. The industries that produce it earn billions of dollars each year and employ hundreds of thousands of people. Its pervasiveness means almost everyone has something to say about entertainment, too, whether it be our opinion on the latest Hollywood blockbuster, a new celebrity couple, or our concerns over its place in the world of politics.
