The rise of co-productions on the one hand, and the decline of Hong Kong cinema on the other, have brought Chinese cinema into a new age in which Hong Kong cinema has been taken over. No wonder Henry Fong, a senior actor-producer-director, lamented in 2006, just a decade after Hong Kong's reunification with China, that “From now on Hong Kong cinema is Chinese cinema.” This chapter examines the impact of the rise in co-productions after 1997 on the development of Hong Kong cinema. If Hong Kong cinema, once popular not only in Chinese communities but across the world, will (or has) become Chinese cinema, one can say that “one country, two systems” does not necessarily guarantee “one country, two cultures.”Less

This chapter demonstrates the ways in which policy is more fundamentally a sociopolitical construct than technical/instrumental tool, as it is approached in much of policy science. Employing a constructivist sociology of knowledge, the discussion illustrates the ways in which a policy is a product of multiple realities and, as such, is as much a matter for interpretive analysis as it is techno-empirical assessment. To clarify the theoretical position, the second half of the chapter demonstrates the point through the political struggle over sustainable development in environmental policy. Beyond technical knowledge, the case points to how policies are socially experienced — in particular, how they supply citizens with the social sense of collective participation in mutual ventures with fellow members of their own communities.Less

Chapter Three explores the contrast to conventional policy design, developing a heuristic to consider co-production as a radical alternative. Co-production has become a ubiquitous term in contemporary policy, which builds on a rich, diverse and contested lineage of theory and experimentation. Advocating co-production rests on the recognition that there are complex problems that cannot be solved without governments, but that governments alone cannot solve. This chapter sets outs a heuristic which considers the vision–the valued outcomes pursued in co-production–and the grammar–the activities used in this pursuit. Whilst doing so, there is a recognition that co-production will not occur simply through espousing its theoretical benefits and considering its design. Grounded attempts to generate, exemplify and pre-figure co-productive policy design are therefore useful in meeting this daunting challenge.Less

This chapter attempts to address historicize forms of customer co-production. Drawing on the development of Italian fashion, it presents two historical ideal types of how customers have been integrated within the value chains of the culture and creative industries — “social factory” and “brand.” In the “social factory” model, customers (and other external actors) are mainly used to supply input for product innovation. In the “brand” phase the productive contribution of customers becomes not primarily that of developing new products, but of co-creating an environment in which certain kinds of value conventions can operate. This entails different strategies of governance, such as the marketing of a generic form of “creativity” as a social ideal, which can easily be confused with emancipatory developments.Less

By linking contemporary practice using design principles in policy with political science and public administration theories, this book offers a distinctive contribution to debates on policy design. The book is conceived as a conversation between theory and practice. It goes beyond traditional scholarship to offer not solely a critique of what exists, but to set out proposals for alternatives. Policy design is fundamentally about substantive and instrumental ambitions to achieve better policy outcomes. In the face of glaring inadequacies and limitations in addressing many of the complex challenges we face as a society, this book challenges conventional policy design and opens up a conversation about how to imagine and realise a radically democratic alternative form of policy design: co-production. First, through a series of heuristics, the book generates theoretical tensions and encourages creative thinking about policy design. Then, compelling international contributions from practitioners, policy makers, activists and engaged scholars provide specific contexts for these theoretical debates. In doing so, the book provides both a framing and grounding for ongoing debates and provides a means for advancing experimentation in policy design.Less

This chapter uncovers a new function of festivals and investigates their interrelationships with production, exhibition and distribution branches of traditional film industries. Focusing on the Pusan Promotion Plan, a project market in which new Asian feature films could seek co-financing and co-production partners, the chapter argues that film festivals today have begun to play a new role in the global film industry as an effective producer by actively engaging the production process as well as exhibition and distribution partners. The chapter shows how the PPP helped further Pusan's and PIFF's regionalization strategy.Less

Caerau Hillfort, is by far the largest Iron-Age hillfort in south Glamorgan. The housing estates that surround this monument are home to more than 25,000 people – the largest social housing estates in Wales. Despite strong community ties, the people that live there are burdened by significant social and economic deprivation, particularly high unemployment. The Caerau and Ely Rediscovering Heritage (CAER) project seeks utilise this community’s rich and untapped heritage assets and local expertise to develop educational and life opportunities: building confidence, challenging negative stereotypes and realising the positive potential of the process of research co-production. This chapter provides a summary of key aspects of the literature surrounding participation and co-production in Wales. It explores CAER’s approach to co-production within this context, analysing the reflections of a small group of community members regarding their involvement in two major community excavations which took place in June-July 2013 and 2014.Less

This chapter considers how arts and humanities approaches can offer a different lens which expands possibilities in terms of ways of knowing and ways of communicating. This process can then make space for different voices to come to the fore and can raise issues of power, meaning and ambiguity. The chapter considers the potential of co-production as a methodology to do this. In community contexts it might mean shifting attention away from preferred ways of knowing and being to unfamiliar ways of knowing and being for all involved. The chapter suggests that there is the potential for spatially situated methodologies to surface different kinds of knowledge. The chapter suggests that society needs to build new ways of knowing together. The chapter provides for example an experience of co-producing a film with the youth service and a group of young people in Rotherham for the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).Less

This chapter discusses experiments in shifting understandings of expertise and in co-producing research that formed the basis of the Productive Margins (PM) programme. Those experiments were structured as the Productive Communities Research Forum, a series of gatherings that included all active co-researchers and occurred every three to six months over the lifetime of the Productive Margins programme. Before discussing this experimental method, the chapter turns to co-production as a specific set of approaches to collaborative research which involves diverse voices. It brings together the Productive Margins principal investigator, community lead, arts and humanities lead, and one of the co-investigators who worked as a link between two projects and the core management group. These individuals have different research interests, forms of expertise, values, and standpoints on collaborative working in communities.Less

This chapter analyses collaborative forms of participation that involve both users and front-line staff in the process of creating public service improvements and innovations. Often called co-production, co-design or co-creation, these participative mechanisms are designed to promote and value the experience, skills and knowledge of users, developing partnerships between service users and public service staff to redesign and produce services that promote dignity, welfare and well-being. The analysis investigates how and why these processes might prompt changes, the management practices needed to support these mechanisms, the influence of contextual conditions, power relations and the impact of collaboration. This is achieved using a realist synthesis of co-production, co-design and co-creation cases and expert interviews with facilitators and managers who have been involved in such projects. The chapter draws on research conducted within local government and health service settings. It concludes that whilst co-production does not have the same independence and political character of autonomous action by service users and is thus not able to address broader human rights issues, it can be an effective means of achieving change within organisational boundaries.Less

The chapter details the success of the Hammer Dracula (Terence Fisher, 1958) in late-1950s and early-1960s Italy, and explains why, where, by whom and with which commercial results a series of vampire films were made by Italian companies from 1959 to 1975, with the cooperation of European co-production partners and/or American investors. While revealing the imported and derivative nature of 1956-1975 Italian vampire cinema, the industrial analysis conducted in the chapter shows how local factors such as distribution-fed production, time- and cost-saving shooting practices, state censorship and state aids made the Italian vampire rip-offs into variations on the theme mixing foreign models with distinctively national traits rather than into slavish plagiarisms.Less

A combination of theory and practice are used in Chapter Four to challenge, deepen and develop our theorising. The chapter discusses some of the tough questions and dilemmas raised by the conversation between the opening chapters and the contributions from practitioners, policy-makers, activists and engaged scholars. The chapter reinforces the need for change in conventional policy design, but what is clearly articulated is the growing questioning of the limitations, appropriateness and sustainability of the conventional policy process from in and outside. Nevertheless, the scope for change is constrained by the difficulties of establishing new ways of doing, regardless of the level of commitment to the ideas. Even recognising the agency and efficacy of those up for the challenge, co-production remains a ‘daunting’ ambition. The theorising and empirical insights in this book show us that we should remain hopeful about the prospect for change.Less

Chapter Five considers the governance arrangements which could facilitate co-productive policy design. Moving towards co-productive policy design poses difficult questions and a series of dilemmas for participants. Attempts to re-constitute the policy process do not exist within a vacuum and conventional policy designs can feel deeply entrenched and immutable to change. Through both theorising and working with the grounded powerful reflections on co-production from policy-makers, practitioners, activists and engaged scholars, this book embodies the importance and value of experimentation in policy design. It has demonstrated a growing appetite for change in a context that makes it more daunting but more important than ever.Less

Offering a critical examination of the nature of co-produced research, this important new book draws on materials and case studies from the ESRC funded project ‘Imagine – connecting communities through research’. Outlining a community development approach to co-production, which privileges community agency, the editors link with wider debates about the role of universities within communities. With policy makers in mind, contributors discuss in clear and accessible language what co-production between community groups and academics can achieve. The book will be valuable for practitioners within community contexts, and researchers interested in working with communities, activists, and artists.Less

Chapter 2 focuses on the productive domains of the city. It begins by considering the socio-cultural and biological co-evolution of sharing, exploring common features and cultural variations. It examines key ways in which cities are shared domains of production, reproduction and exchange, with shared public services, infrastructures and resources. It outlines how services and infrastructures can be co-produced with particular reference to health and education, and explores co-production in commercial spheres – including peer-to-peer finance and energy, and in cooperatives. It highlights the risks of disowned responsibility and commodification that arise where sharing overlaps public or market provision. It concludes by discussing how a shared collective commons underpins both commercial and communal city functions.Less

This introductory chapter sets out concerns with the current state of theories and practice in regulation. It identifies a fundamental problem of regulatory practice, which turns more and more inward-looking, shutting out the expertise of citizens who experience the effects of regulatory systems. It was this gap that led to the five-year research programme, ‘Productive Margins: Regulating for Engagement’, which led to this book. The chapter then presents a brief outline of the book, exploring both the methodology of co-production and citizens' experiences of a number of substantive fields of regulatory practice in order that one can begin to see and know regulatory systems differently. Finally, the chapter sets the scene for explorations in regulating for engagement by illustrating some of the ways in which regulation is discussed — or not — in everyday life by drawing on interviews with participants in the research programme.Less

This chapter offers a comprehensive discussion of the making of In Vanda’s Room (2000). It contextualises Pedro Costa’s use of digital video to sustain a low-budget shooting process that merges personal and professional agency. This filmcan surely be considered the filmmaker’s most radical approach to filmmaking, particularly with regards to its shooting process. Unsurprisingly, it is commonly analysed as the result of a personal endeavour which privileges creative independence and artisanal practices steering away from film industry norms. As this chapter explains, however, the film is as much a result of a low scale digital video artisanal practice as it is of production negotiations commonly observed in European film co-productions. Examining this interstitial quality, this chapter offers a fresh insight into the making of In Vanda’s Room by also scrutinising its finance and post-production processes, overlooked in previous academic and non-academic literature about the film.Less

This chapter examines how Aki Kaurismäki’s cinema is based on transnational codes. The Finnish filmmaker is mostly known by his unique signature style, where time and spaces are an amalgamate of different decades, while still engendering references to multiple cultures. With an institutional and industrial model that makes it the European hub for arthouse film production, France has been a steady presence on Kaurismäki's films' credits. This chapter discusses how Kaurismäki's French co-productions exemplify the ways in which economic and technical transnationality operate in the successful making of arthouse films, especially through his five collaborations with French production company Pyramide Productions. Focusing on the case studies of La vie de bohème (1992) and Le Havre (2011), two co-productions fully set in France, this chapter foregrounds how the films’ transnational qualities speak both to funding and production technicalities particular to the European film industry, while analyzing narrative and aesthetic components as well.Less

This is the introductory chapter of the book Co-producing research: A community development approach. It introduces the co-editors and explains the genesis of the book, based on the learning from a complex community-university research project, Imagine – connecting communities through research. It outlines a community development approach to the co-production of research, described as: research undertaken collaboratively by several parties that values multiple perspectives and voices; contributes to creating and developing communities of place, interest and identity; builds collective capacity for action; and works towards social change. It offers an overview of the chapters in the book and argues for an interdisciplinary collaborative approach.Less

In the context of public sector organizations, the governance model for co-production could help to deliver better public services that fulfill the expectations of citizens, via crowdsourcing. This chapter considers how and why co-production is a valuable solution for producing public services, but also highlights the challenges that public sector organizations face when co-production is adopted without being customized for public sector service delivery. In the context of the public sector, co-production needs to be focused on public value creation and not on public service production processes. This subtle shift in focus allows us to discuss how and why adopting co-production models that are successful in the private sector cannot be applied directly to public sector organizations; instead they need to be tailored in the light of a better understanding of the requirements of public value creation.Less
