A number of recent studies have responded to neoliberal
understandings of entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation in
the cultural and creative industries, and beyond. Although in
recent years, the features of working life in this sector have been
well-documented, little research seems to have looked at the
psychosocial impact on the working lives of individuals. Fantasy,
Neoliberalism and Precariousness draws on the results of an
original empirical study of independent musicians based in
Brooklyn, San Francisco, Portland, Stockholm and Paris, and
considers how experiences of precariousness and insecurity under
conditions of neoliberalism threatens the well-being and
self-realisation of aspiring musicians. Vachet examines anxiety,
narcissism, recognition and self-esteem from a sociological
perspective, considering them through the lens of social class and
gender. Contributing to debates within cultural studies, sociology
and the political economy of communication about working lives in
the cultural and creative industries, Vachet answers to-date
unexplored questions around the psychosocial impact of
precariousness and other problematic features of work in the
cultural industries.
