Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

Abstract

Creative labour is highly individualized, notoriously precarious, and characterized by flexibility, insecurity, and irregularity, along with long hours and low pay. These circumstances increase the likelihood of exploitation. At the same time, creative labour has affective qualities – pleasures as well as pressures. This chapter explores how the working conditions within the creative industries are affectively experienced through three case studies.
