How do creative workers work? This book brings together insights from a
range of relevant disciplines to help answer this significant research question.
Featuring case studies from the European context, contributors tap into
the experiences and practices from creative workers, demonstrating their
attempts to navigate a changing environment which affects spaces, identities,
and professional roles. As cross-disciplinary re-thinking of work, labour
processes and management practices in the creative and cultural industries,
the book offers perspectives on the importance of highlighting creative work
as a phenomenon and practice beyond a particular industry, market, or
public sector. Providing an opportunity to expand our conception of what
creative work is, the book draws on studies of a range of activities, practices
and sectors that are usually included in the cultural and creative industries as
well as ones that are more untraditional.
The result is a volume that will interest students, practictioners, and
scholars with an interest in the creative industries.
