The speed and scale at which Liverpool is redeveloping is indicative of global advances in market-driven geo-economic restructuring, while the creative economy model has been one of the central tenets of urban regeneration over the past forty years. This paper focuses on the construction of a new creative quarter on Liverpool’s North Shore Dock, and the modes of creative resistance that are being enacted by some residents in the area. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork that has been carried out over the past two years, this research foregrounds the tensions that exist between two different forms of creativity, and the ways in which these are negotiated, in particular through the use of community-oriented film screenings as part of an activist repertoire that was developed by one artistic collective in the campaign to save their building from demolition. Overall, the paper offers some insight regarding different (often opposing) forms and ideologies of urban redevelopment, pointing towards an alternative politics of place that distances itself from the ever-expanding sphere of the market and the so-called creative economy.

抵制利物浦北岸的创意经济：实践中基于艺术的政治传播

利物浦的重建速度和规模表明，在市场驱动的地缘经济结构调整方面，全球取得了进步，而过去40年来，创意经济模式一直是城市复兴的主要宗旨之一。本文的重点是在利物浦的北岸码头上建设一个新的创意区，以及该地区一些居民正在制定的创意抵抗模式。利用过去两年中进行的定性野外工作，这项研究着眼于两种不同形式的创造力之间存在的紧张关系以及谈判方式，尤其是通过将面向社区的电影放映作为维权剧目的一部分，维权剧目是由一个艺术团体在这场运动中开发的，目的是保护他们的建筑物免于拆除。总体而言，本文提供了有关城市发展的不同（通常是相反）形式和意识形态的一些见解，指出了一种替代性的地方政治，使其与不断扩大的市场领域和所谓的创意经济保持距离。
