| Abstract: | This paper studies the ways in which gendered and racialized conceptions of age and appearance are reproduced and affect women performers' access to work. The results of the analysis suggest that recruitment and selection processes as well as the economic structures of women performers' work environments position the performers as formal and informal representatives of women in a more general sense. The performers can be seen as formal representatives of women, because they are employed to represent women. Their position as informal representatives is based on their allocation to significantly segmented labour markets, which consist in hierarchical conceptions of gender and race. |
