However, such portrayals belie the reality of how media management operates as a culture of shifting discourses, dispositions, and tactics that create meaning, generate value, and shape media work throughout each moment of production and consumption. Making Media Work aims to provide a deeper and more nuanced understanding of management within the entertainment industries. Drawing from work in critical sociology and cultural studies, the collection theorizes management as a pervasive, yet flexible set of principles drawn upon by a wide range of practitioners--artists, talent scouts, performers, directors, show runners, and more--in their ongoing efforts to articulate relationships and bridge potentially discordant forces within the media industries. The contributors interrogate managerial labor and identity, shine a light on how management understands its roles within cultural and creative contexts, and reconfigure the complex relationship between labor and managerial authority as productive rather than solely prohibitive. Engaging with primary evidence gathered through interviews, archives, and trade materials, the essays offer tremendous insight into how management is understood and performed within media industry contexts. The volume as a whole traces the changing roles of management both historically and in the contemporary moment within US and international contexts, and across a range of media forms, from film and television to video games and social media" 410 0$aCritical cultural communication. 606 $aMass media$xManagement$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01011264 606 $aManagement$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01007141 606 $aCultural industries$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00885002 606 $aCultural industries 606 $aMass media$xManagement 606 $aManagement$vCross-cultural studies 608 $aCross-cultural studies 615 7$aMass media$xManagement 615 7$aManagement 615 7$aCultural industries 615 7$aCultural industries. 615 7$aMass media$xManagement. 615 7$aManagement 676 $a302.23068 701 $aSanto$b Avi$01504235 701 $aKompare$b Derek$f1969-$01504236 701 $aJohnson$b Derek$f1979-$0989809 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786774703321 996 $aMaking Media Work$93733125 997 $aUNINA
