| Abstract: | The paper argues that two sets of claims can be identified across the literatures. Firstly, creative work is the driving force of a new economy (creative intensity). Secondly, cultural industries have a special kind of creativity at its core (creative distinctiveness). Little explanatory power resides in expanded conceptions of each set of industries. The central problem in such literatures is that they frequently move from conception to consumption, leaving a gap where concrete analysis of management, work, and employment relations should be. In the context of the popular music industry, this paper outlines a double articulation of creativity: musicians may self-manage their own creativity, but within a framework whereby record company personnel engage in multiple points of management, setting the terms of access to resources and influence, and ultimately to the marketplace. |
