In the transition of the digital age
Abstract
Cultural Industries face a new challenge characterized by the transformations caused by digital technology. Between the nume rous questions that are opened bejore this process the necessity arises to reframe the role that the diverse state institutions (central, autonomic and local) develop in the planning and implantation of communica tional and cultural policies. In this paper is offered an historical panoramic of the relationships between the State and the Cultural Industry until arriving at the present time, a period oftransition (and logicalty of uncertainty) towards the Digital Era. As it happens in all new stages, enormous opportunities ana advantages are raised, but also some threats and risks; andas much as others they are described and analyzed in the following pages. As the last part, is shown, in front of the new reality, the necessity to create on the part of public powers new cultural policies to confront the emergent situation and take advantage of the advantages that are doubtlessly offered.Keywords
