"Precarious Creativity examines the seismic changes confronting media workers in an
age of globalization and corporate conglomeration. This pathbreaking anthology peeks
behind the hype and supposed glamor of screen media industries to reveal the intensifying
pressures and challenges confronting actors, editors, electricians, and others. The
authors take on pressing conceptual and methodological issues while also providing
insightful case studies of workplace dynamics regarding creativity, collaboration,
exploitation, and cultural difference. Furthermore, it examines working conditions
and organizing efforts on all six continents, offering broad-ranging and comprehensive
analysis of contemporary screen media labor in such places as Lagos, Prague, Hollywood,
and Hyderabad. The collection also examines labor conditions across a range of job
categories that includes, for example, visual effects, production services, and adult
entertainment. With contributions from such leading scholars as John Caldwell, Vicki
Mayer, Herman Gray, and Tejaswini Ganti, Precarious Creativity offers timely critiques
of media globalization while also intervening in broader debates about labor, creativity,
and precarity"--Provided by publisher
