This collection of essays had its origins in the Cultural Work conference that took place at Coventry University in 1998. Why do studies of film, popular music and television frequently talk about consumers rather than those who produce the work? And what do we actually know about those involved in the creative industries? Cultural Work maps the changed character of work within the cultural and creative industries, and examines the increasing diversity of cultural work, offering new methods for analyzing and thinking about cultural workplaces. Contributors: 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. Includes bibliographical references and index.
