Macho, mobile and resilient? How workers with impairments are doubly disabled in project-based film and television work
Inequalities in the creative industries are known to be persistent and systemic. The model of production in UK film and television (UKF&TV) is argued to exclude on the basis of gender, race and class. This article considers a social category that has been overlooked in these debates: disability. It argues that workers with impairments are 'doubly disabled' - in both the labour markets and labour processes of UKF&TV. It concludes that disability c…

Getting in, Getting on, Getting out? Women as Career Scramblers in the UK film and Television Industries
This article looks at the predominance of freelancing in the film and television industries as a lens to examine the persistence of gender inequalities within these fields. Previous research has indicated that women fare better in larger organizations with more stable patterns of employment, and in this article we explore why that might be the case, by focusing on the experiences of female freelancers at a moment when project-based, precarious wo…
Towards a Bourdieusian analysis of the social composition of the UK film and television workforce
The social composition of the workforce of the UK film and television industries does not reflect the diversity of the population and the industries have been described as white, male and middle class. While the lack of specific demographic representation in employment (for example gender or ethnicity) has been highlighted by both industry and academic commentators, its broader social composition has rarely been addressed by research. This articl…
‘Sorry mate, you're finishing tonight’
This article considers the nature of employment in the UK Film Industry in the period 1927–1947 against a background of US domination of the global market for film. Drawing on archived interview material from 60 participants in the archive of the History Project of BECTU (the British trade union for Media and Entertainment workers) the article focusses on entry routes, working hours, training and pay grades to assess the degree of stability prese…

From London to Los Angeles
Addressing the issue of the embeddedness of labour markets, this paper compares the processes of finding employment in the film industry within two local labour markets. Drawing on studies of freelance film crews in London (UK) and Los Angeles (US), the paper concludes that the importance of social networks in job mobility in both contexts is a consequence of common production structures. However, common labour market practice varies in each geog…
Working in film – Employment in a project based industry
Currently the “creative industries”, especially the British film industry, are receiving much popular attention. The aim of this paper is to present a description and evaluation of employment in the film industry, and through doing so to challenge dominant populist and academic analyses of employment in this sector, as exemplified by the Labour government and a number of British and American academic commentators. These analyses are both premised…
A pernicious panacea—a critical evaluation of business re‐engineering
This article investigates the practicalities of implementing business process re‐engineering (BPR) through two case studies, DefCo and ServiCo in the public sector. It demonstrates the destructive and insidious nature of BPR, and deconstructs the myth that BPR represents a discontinuity in management thinking
Signs of Convergence? Images of the University in the Management of R&D
This paper examines the adoption of university images in a pharmaceutical R&D company, arguing that this may be intended to bring benefits to management. The author finds some irony in this, identifying tendencies within the UK higher education system to draw on the images and the practices of business and commerce in its own management. Drawing on empirical data from interviews at Pharmco, the paper argues that, in practice, the image cannot be …
The White-Coated Worker
This paper adopts a similar position to French (1987:401) who emphasises the any differences between engeneers and scientits and the rest of workeforce are differences only in degree and only in certain dimensions. Indeed, it suggests further that the degrees of difference may becomming smaller as the result of a process of deprofessionalisation. The paper will argue that conflict at Pharmex, at least in the short term, is less likely to be a pro…
Geochemical and Petrological Characterization of Ash Samples from Cascade Range Volcanoes
Twenty-nine samples of volcanic ash from the Pacific Northwest were analyzed by instrumental neutron activation techniques, with the aim of distinguishing among ashes from different sources. Preliminary results of petrographic studies of 42 ash or pumice samples are also reported. Geochemical characteristics of Mazama ash are defined, and problems induced by winnowing of crystalline material during transport and by weathering are discussed. Conte…
