About this deal

Moreover, they did not always act uniformly, with “the public” capable of expressing contradictory demands that were often at odds with official policy. I think this is definitely a must-read if you're working or want to work in the culture/creative industry. It’s for this reason that I don’t think it’ll be possible to transform inequalities in the cultural sector by addressing the cultural sector alone. Across the world we can see lockdown and reopening presenting significant challenges to those parts of the cultural sector dependent on visitors and on audiences.

N2 - In Culture is Bad for You: Inequality in the Cultural and Creative Industries (Manchester University Press, 2020), authors Orian Brook, Dave O’Brien and Mark Taylor cut through a Gordian Knot of interconnected and complex factors that create and maintain multiple inequalities within the UK Creative and Cultural Industries (CCIs). It’s quite practical from that point of view and hopefully will reach a broader audience in terms of their peers and the people that are working with them.

And is there any reason to suppose that other cultural activities, such as sport, or religion, or broadcast and social media, differ significantly from this picture of structural inequality?

Human identity is neither rigidly determined nor unpredictable and spontaneous, but between those two extremes is the forum on which the public life of humanity is generated. The final piece of the puzzle was ensuring proximity to a university offering degrees in creative disciplines.

But occasional crises showed that faith in the system was tied to contemporary concerns about the medical profession, the power of the state and attitudes to individual vaccines.Your book also suggests that the inequalities are ‘intersectional’, involving social class, gender and ethnic background. She is the author of The Headcount (2021) report into gender breakdown at eight core funded theatre companies in Northern Ireland for Waking the Feminists NI. This isn't the whole story (and the book flags up the exceptions), but the data is well collected and presents a difficult to defend tale about the making of national identity by the select few. Culture is bad for you is a sobering, enraging picture of the creative industries and the inequalities at their heart. When you have a sector that large numbers of people want to work in, people who go in with better resources are in a stronger position.

The colour of a scarf, the accent of a conversation, can unite people or divide them, and the smallest detail can play its part in signalling who are allies and who are enemies, as much for elites as for citizens in a democracy. We often hear claims that there was a “golden age” in cultural work, and that the situation’s got worse more recently, particularly with reference to social class: we show that this is entirely due to changes in the labour market, and that cultural work has always been unequal. After a century in which an assumption was held across the ideological spectrum from left to right and from Marxists to economic individualists that the rational pursuit of material gain underlay social and political activity, the fundamental importance of the cultivation and preservation of identity is re-emerging across the whole spectrum of politics in which Britain is one example only. This book tells the story of how Henna’s observation that film, and much of the rest of culture, is not a meritocracy.

A more complicated example is housing: several of our interviewees reported spending large amounts of money on low-quality accommodation in London where they were on edge about their landlord ending their tenancy at no notice.
