Research interests
My research interests lie in the field of creative industries and contemporary forms of labour in general. In my PhD-project I am engaged in the role of creativity as a key concept of today’s entrepreneurial forms of labour and organisation. The research is going to focus on different meanings and logics of work within production networks of the so called creative industries, which is considered as an emblem for the well-established idea of creativity as a crucial resource of these days. Within the field of creative industries the attention is turned on activities and their relations to each other rather than on industries. Of particular interest is the relevance of different logics, such as creativity, to certain activities and relations between these.
