He has published on political thought and cultural theory. He is the co-editor of the forthcoming special issue of Cultural Values on 'Culture and Governance' **Abstract** The Digital Economy: Culture as Ideological Closure This talk will examine the importance given to culture as a source of economic and social well-being since the establishment of the Department of Media, Culture and Sport in 1997. The argument will be that such claims for culture only appear plausible when culture is equated with the digitalisation of culture, which in turn is dependent upon some un-realistic expectations of the performance of the broader digital economy. The talk will be illustrated by reference to the discourse of the Department of Media, Culture and Sport. </div>
