PUBLIC LECTURE
'Critical Perspectives on Creative Labour'
Professor Angela McRobbie
Media and Communications, Goldsmiths
This lecture will discuss Professor McRobbie's work on the 'new culture
industry' that will appear in 2011 as a book entitled Be Creative:
Precarious Labour in Art and Cultural Worlds, London, Berlin, Glasgow. This
book undertakes a theorisation of precarious labour drawing on the work of
Michel Foucault. It examines the world of freelance, casualised creative
work in three cities, paying particular attention to micro-enterprises of
creative labour including fashion design, art- working, multi-media,
curating, arts administration, and so on.
