Description
Angela McRobbie explores the 'euphoric' moment of the new creative economy in this thought-provoking book. Published in 2016, it considers the impact of economic austerity and uncertainty on work and employment from a cultural studies perspective. McRobbie argues that the dispositif of creativity is a key instrument for adapting to a future of work without traditional entitlements. She examines 'project working' as a model of the future of work and poses questions about how people can develop stronger organisations in this context. The book features interviews with artists, stylists, fashion designers, policy-makers, and social entrepreneurs. Through its analysis, McRobbie sheds light on the new politics of culture and creativity, and what is at stake for those involved in these fields.
