Cultural Work examines the conditions of the production of culture. It maps the changed character of work within the cultural and creative industries, examines the increasing diversity of cultural work and offers new methods for analyzing and thinking about cultural workplaces. Cultural Work brings together a mixture of practitioners and scholars to think about the production of culture in an industrialised context: it includes those who began in the creative industries and now teach and study cultural practices, those who have left academia and are now involved in cultural production as well as those who maintain profiles as both educators and practitioners. Beck investigates previously unexplored aspects of the creative industries. Studying television, popular music, performance art, radio, film production and live performance the book offers occupational biographies, cultural histories, practitioners' evidence, considerations of the economic environment as well as new ways of observing and studying the cultural industries. Philip Auslander, Andrew Beck, Dina Berkeley, Shirley Dex, Sally Hibbin, Mike Jones, Cathy MacGregor, Graham Murdock, Robin Nelson, Yvonne Tasker, Steve Taylor, Jason Toynbee, Janet Willis.
Industry Reviews
'The great achievement of this collection is to bring together academics and cultural workers who can write eloquently about the vitally important but shamefully neglected topic of cultural work. The results are always interesting, often enlightening and sometimes brilliant.' David Hesmondhalgh, The Open University, author of The Cultural Industries
