Abstract
Countering the many claims that the best days of capitalism are over following the economic meltdown of 2008 onwards, this presentation provocatively argues that a new golden age of capitalism - or upwave - began around 2002, and despite the unstable markets in the western world of the past few years, this upwave will produce previously unseen levels of wealth creation during the next twenty years.

Stuart Cunningham, Director, ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation, presents his keynote speech on 'Transforming Value' at Running Hot! 2010 Conference, Wellington, New Zealand.

The differences in the perception of digital games in Germany and Australian are distinct. While their assessment in Germany is dominated by a pessimistic Kulturkritik tenor which regards them as an 'illegitimate' activity, in Australia they are enjoyed by a wide demographic as a 'legitimate' pastime. The presentation deals with the reasons behind these differences. It analyses the social history of digital gaming in both countries and relates it to their socio-cultural traditions and their effects on modes of distinction.

John Hartley's presentation on 'Studying Creative Industries: From Cultural Studies to Cultural Science' at Tallinn University, Estonia, 25 March 2010.

Thanks to everyone who attended the Creative Suburban Geographies workshop on 12 November. Here are some presentations and audio from the event.

The digital content industries in many countries have seen significant growth over the past decade. This knowledge-intensive sector relies on highly skilled human capital but is often challenged by skills and labour shortages, in turn exacerbated by a lack of high quality industry-ready graduates. This presentation first foregrounds some of the key challenges associated with education-to-work transitions encountered by emerging creative graduates in the digital content industries.
