*The Wages of Dreamwork. Class Composition & the Social Reproduction of <br>
Cultural Labor*<br>
Stevphen Shukaitis & Joanna Figiel<br>
<br>
Surviving as a cultural or artistic worker in the city has never been <br>
easy. Creative workers find themselves celebrated as engines of economic <br>
growth, economic recovery and urban revitalization even as the <br>
conditions for our continued survival becomes more precarious. How can <br>
you make a living today in such a situation? That is, how to hold <br>
together the demands of paying the rent and bills while managing all the <br>
tasks necessary to support one?s practice? How to manage the tensions <br>
between creating spaces for creativity and imagination while working <br>
through the constraints posed by economic conditions?<br>
<br>
In a more traditional workplace it is generally easy to distinguish <br>
between those who planned and managed the labor process and those who <br>
were involved in its executions: between the managers and the managed. <br>
For creative workers these distinctions become increasingly hard to <br>
make. Today the passionate and self-motivated labor of the artisan <br>
increasingly becomes the model for a self-disciplining, self-managed <br>
labor force that works harder, longer, and often for less pay precisely <br>
because of its attachment to some degree of personal fulfillment in <br>
forms of engaging work. And that ain?t no way to make a living, having <br>
to struggle three times as hard for just to have a sense of engagement <br>
in meaningful work.<br>
<br>
/The Wages of Dreamwork/ investigates how cultural workers in the modern <br>
metropolis manage these competing tensions and demands. Does the <br>
cultural economy treat you as a tool? If so, perhaps it?s time to <br>
rethink how to down tools in this metropolitan factory.<br>
<br>
<br>
