Creating Beauty: Collagen's speculative processes from waste to wellness
Using a corpus of digital materials relating to collagen markets in New Zealand we sketch a chain of processes: the harvesting of collagen ‘waste’ from inside slaughtered animals as part of industrial farming or fisheries, the hydrolysing of collagen as waste in a laboratory into peptides, the packaging and shipping of hydrolysed collagen peptides, as well as the creation of predictive markets and the ongoing marketing processes of collagen which…
How Goopy are you?’ Women, Goop and cosmic wellness
In this article, I’ll outline the phenomenon of ‘cosmic wellness’ which is now visible across on- and offline spaces that promote health and well-being products and practices to women. Cosmic wellness is a broad constellation of media, discourse, imagery, materials and foods (including crystals, dust and herbs) produced primarily by white, wealthy women. On the one hand, cosmic wellness can be read as a digital food culture that offers healthy an…

Making cultural work visible in cultural policy
Cultural work, also referred to as creative labour, has recently received more attention in academic journals and literature. The importance of cultural work is often understated and hidden behind its metonym: cultural and creative industries. However, while the creative and cultural industries are celebrated globally for their contribution to economies and to societies, very little is acknowledged about the role of cultural work within them and/…
Production Studies, The Sequel!: Cultural Studies of Global Media Industries
This chapter examines the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters (NARTB) discourses of self-regulation leading up to the implementation of the 1952 Television Code, which attempted to answer television's vocal critics by constructing a paradigm for wholesome content. The NAB's propaganda consistently projects an image of a stable and antagonistic relationship with the government, but this belies the complexities of their day-to…

Gender and Creative Labour
Inequalities within the cultural and creative industries (CCI) have been insufficiently explored. International research across a range of industries reveals gendered patterns of disadvantage and exclusion which are, unsurprisingly, further complicated by divisions of class, and also disability and race and ethnicity. These persistent inequalities are amplified by the precariousness, informality and requirements for flexibility which are widely n…
Egotist', 'Masochist', 'Supplicant: Charlie and Donald Kaufman and the Gendered Screenwriter as Creative Worker
This article offers a gendered reading of the screenwriter as creative worker in the context of the unequal socio-economy of screenwriting work. A number of ideal subject positions for the screenwriter are evoked in screenwriting manuals, pedagogies and representations of writers themselves, in particular, the 'egotist', the 'masochist' and the 'supplicant'. These subjects are masculine in orientation although rarely acknowledged in gendered term…
Gurus and Oscar Winners: How-To Screenwriting Manuals in the New Cultural Economy
Screenwriting has been the subject of extensive literature in the past three decades in relation to both the techniques of the trade and the pursuit of profit and fame. This article demonstrates that how-to screenwriting manuals both feed into and exemplify the new cultural economy and the position(s) of creative labor within that economy by offering the opportunity to dream up and invent one’s own career and providing blueprints for doing so. Th…
