In recent years, cultural work has engaged the interest of scholars
from a broad range of social science and humanities disciplines.
The debate in this 'turn to cultural work' has largely been based
around evaluating its advantages and disadvantages: its freedoms
and its constraints, its informal but precarious nature, the
inequalities within its global workforce, and the blurring of
work-life boundaries leading to 'self-exploitation'. While academic
critics have persuasively challenged more optimistic accounts of
'converged' worlds of creative production, the critical debate on
cultural work has itself leant heavily towards suggesting a
profoundly new confluence of forces and effects. Theorizing
Cultural Work instead views cultural work through a specifically
historicized and temporal lens, to ask: what novelty can we
actually attach to current conditions, and precisely what relation
does cultural work have to social precedent? The contributors to
this volume also explore current transformations and future(s) of
work within the cultural and creative industries as they move into
an uncertain future. This book challenges more affirmative and
proselytising industry and academic perspectives, and the pervasive
cult of novelty that surrounds them, to locate cultural work as an
historically and geographically situated process. It will be of
interest to students and scholars of sociology, cultural studies,
human geography, urban studies and industrial relations, as well as
management and business studies, cultural and economic policy and
development, government and planning.

Creative Justice examines issues of inequality and injustice in the
cultural industries and cultural workplace. It first aims to 'do
justice' to the kinds of objects and texts produced by artists,
musicians, designersand other kinds of symbol-makers - by
appreciating them as meaningful goods with objective qualities. It
also shows how cultural work itself has objective quality as a
rewarding and socially-engaging practice, and not just a means to
an economic end. But this book is also about injustice - made
evident in the workings of arts education and cultural policy, and
through the inequities and degradations of cultural work. In worlds
where low pay and wage inequality are endemic, and where access to
the best cultural academies, jobs and positions is becoming more
strongly determined by social background, what chance do ordinary
people have of obtaining their own 'creative justice'? Aimed at
students and scholars across a range of disciplines including
Sociology, Media and Communication, Cultural Studies, Critical
Management Studies,and Human Geography, Creative Justice examines
the evidence for - and proposes some solutions to - the problem of
obtaining fairer and more equalitarian systems of arts and cultural
work.
