Invisible Hands in Cultural Markets shines unprecedented light on
the activity of talent representatives and production professionals
in the American and French film and television industries. Agents
and other talent brokers, studio executives, independent producers,
casting directors, and film offices-all operate and interact behind
the scenes in ways that are consequential to the making of artistic
careers and cultural products. But even as these professionals play
a crucial role in the entertainment industry, their activity is
usually invisible and relatively unknown. This collection of
empirically grounded contributions by established and up-and-coming
American and French scholars reveals their day-to-day reality. It
presents how entertainment industry professionals work and what
they experience, demonstrates the ways in which they build
relationships with artists and other counterparts, and examines the
role they play in shaping the content of film and television
projects. Taken together, the chapters put the brokerage of talent
and content in comparative perspective. They also challenge
taken-for-granted approaches to the study of cultural industries
and explore the complex intertwining between commercial and
artistic logics.
