Creative Industries and Narratives. Conversation with Stakeholders

Abstract

Creative Industries and Narratives: Conversations with Stakeholders (2025) is a collective volume that gathers reflections and experiences from professionals in the audiovisual, technological, and cultural sectors. It is the result of a series of encounters organized within the framework of the COST Action CA18230 – Interactive Narrative Design for Complexity Representations (INDCOR).

The book offers a multifaceted view of the current challenges and opportunities faced by creative industries in the digital age. Topics include immersive narratives, artificial intelligence, audience engagement, transmedia production, and interactive digital storytelling.

Through curated interviews and dialogues with key stakeholders —including representatives from Sony Pictures, Meta, independent media organizations, and civic tech platforms— the book bridges academic research with industry practice. It contributes to the advancement of innovation in narrative design and cultural management, serving as a transfer tool between research, society, and the creative economy.
