Bundin Y.I. Creative Industries and Folk Art Crafts: The Search for Remutiability. // Theory and History of Art. 2023. N 3/4, p.218–233

The issues of improving legal regulation and updating the conceptual apparatus of the sphere of folk arts and crafts in the context of the development of creative industries in Russia and the implementation of state policy for the preservation of intangible cultural heritage are considered.
The current practical approach to folk art crafts as a predominantly sphere of economic activity is critically comprehended. The necessity of revising the content of the concept of "folk arts and crafts" in relation to the creative industries is substantiated. The author argues for the selection of species that are predominantly industrial in nature, and species based on artistic creativity itself in the creation of works of folk arts and crafts as carriers of traditional spiritual and moral values. It is proposed to apply to it the full scope of copyright legislation and measures of state support for the preservation, revival and promotion of intangible cultural heritage.
