This book comprises current, original, empirical studies of
career-making in theatre, music, film, TV, visual arts, fashion
design, and architecture from Asia, Europe, and North America. This
format facilitates comparative analysis of central features of
career-making within as well as across both specific industries and
national contexts. The studies empirically and theoretically
analyze issues such as career management, temporality, location,
recognition processes, competition, uncertainty, gender,
chance-arbitrariness, education-to-work transition, mediators, the
'individualization' of careers, and collaboration partnerships. The
book is at the forefront and intersection of contemporary career
research and research on work in creative industries / the cultural
economy, intertwining both subjective and objective approaches to
and dimensions of career. The book moves beyond the dichotomies
that have characterized recent career theory and work on creative
industries in terms of 'boundarylessness-boundedness' and 'good and
bad work' to examine the factors that facilitate and restrict
horizontal and vertical mobility, sometimes simultaneously and
paradoxically, and the trade-offs involved, and the simultaneous
positive and negative dimensions of given phenomena. The chapters
also analyze the operation and significance of various formal and
informal recognition processes from the macro state level down to
minute interpersonal interaction that are central to career-making
in creative industries.
