What Is Entertainment? The Value of Industry Definitions
No full textThis chapter starts with a seemingly basic definitional question: what is entertainment? There is no doubt that something called entertainment exists: there are sections of newspapers dedicated to it, television shows about it, and professional associations for it. Entertainment is not an obscure term for a niche genre. It is a multi-billion dollar global industry with whose products a significant portion of the world’s population engages deeply and regularly. As such, it requires substantial analysis, investigation, and explanation. This analysis is the task of the Palgrave Entertainment Industries series, of which this book and this chapter are a part. Despite the size and cultural penetration of entertainment, to date, the depth and volume of academic investigations of entertainment remain surprisingly insubstantial. Academic analyses of entertainment exist, but they are scattered among disciplines, lumped into the much broader categories of ‘media studies’ or ‘popular culture’, or focussed on a single subsector such as television or music. This chapter contributes to a better understanding of entertainment as a complex cultural system. This effort involves investigating how entertainment works as an industry, how its products circulate, and how it is understood
