What Happens in the Writers’ Room Stays in the Writers’ Room? Professional Authority in Lyle v. Warner Bros
After her termination as a Friends writers’ assistant, Amaani Lyle filed suit for harassment and discrimination. In response, writers defended their professional authority over the writing process, facing two related tensions. First, Lyle v. Warner Bros. emphasized frictions between artistic freedom and social responsibility, amid concerns about a lack of diversity among writers. Second, the case also spotlighted the ambivalence of writers’ artis…
Negotiating contract
Following growing bodies of scholarship concerned with the social and cultural lives of economic forms, this article tries to recover some of the complexity of contracts in creative work. While contracts might seem to reflect narrowly economic determinations, as mere instruments of commerce, sociological models emphasize their contingency and artifice. Moving toward and forward from such models, this article synthesizes a more socio cultural mode…
Unpacking the gift
How is music appropriated and recirculated on the web, across different claims to authority over its movement? Complicating broad accounts of online 'piracy' or 'sharing', this paper explores rules of appropriation and recirculation in the field of archival hardcore blogging, in close readings of blogs that try to reconstruct a system of regulating principles and regulated practices. In relations among themselves, bloggers claim (and quarrel over…
Free as in Regulated
Following Foucault’s demystification of liberal rights, this article complicates narratives of cultural enclosure in intellectual-property regulation, and especially their central figure of a right-fully sovereign user constrained by copy protection. First, it problematizes the freedom imagined for the user, as a specific and ambivalent orientation to contemporary cultural transformation. Second, in a reading of the Federal Communication Commissi…
Let's Light this Candle”? Early Online Investment and the Regulation of Freedom in “New” Work Forms
Drawing on Foucauldian governmentality studies, this article follows the contested construction of the early online investor. First, it explores the contingency of the investor's imagined freedom, as an expression of neoliberal and informationalist prescriptions of personhood. But it also explores the complexity and multiplicity with which that freedom was structured—especially in countervailing “intermediate-level” regulation, oriented as much t…
Integral to the Plot, and in No Way Gratuitous”? Constructing Creative Freedom in the Liberalization of Canadian Content Regulation
This article analyzes proceedings of the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council as a discourse on tensions between creative freedom and social responsibility. While scholarship on censorship emphasizes the productive and constructive dimensions of prohibitive regulation, this article explores the imbrications of a more permissive style of regulation and its targets. The council’s administration of various self-regulatory codes tends to limit the po…
