Description
Exploring the creative industries, this book examines the nature of work in media sectors such as television, music and journalism. It delves into key issues including tensions between commerce and creativity, worker experiences, alienation, autonomy, self-realisation, emotional and affective labour, and the potential for 'good work'.
Through its analysis, Creative Labour sheds light on life in the creative industries of the 21st century. This comprehensive study is a valuable resource for students of business and management studies, sociology of work, sociology of culture, and media and communications.
A major contribution to our understanding of the media, work, and social change, this book provides an accessible account of life in the creative industries.
