This book brings together research at the intersection of music, cultural industries, management, antiracist politics and gender studies to analyse music as labour, in particular highlighting social inequalities and activism. Providing insights into labour processes and practices, the authors investigate the changing role of manifold actors, institutions and technologies and the corresponding shifts in the valuation and evaluation of music achievements that have shaped the relationship between music, labour, the economy and politics. With research into a variety of geographic regions, chapters shed light on the various ways by which musicians’ work is performed, constructed and managed at different times and show that musicians’ working practices have been marked by precarity, insecurity and short-term contracts long before capitalism invited everybody to ‘be creative’. In doing so, they specifically examine the dynamics in music professions and educational institutions, as well as gatekeepers and mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion. With a specific emphasis on inequalities in the music industries, this book will be essential reading for scholars seeking to understand the collective actions and initiatives that foster participation, inclusion, diversity and fair pay amongst musicians and other workers.

Through the lens of personal experience, this chapter provides an exploration of the oft-concealed practices and hypermasculine ideals in dance education. Commercial, concert, and academic dance pedagogy continues to create and perpetuate homophobia that restricts the definition of “boy dancer” to the point of creating a false scarcity and competition to be the most cis-heteronormative male possible. Alterio argues this environment contributes to the perpetuation of discrimination against LGBTQIA+ dancers, the exclusion of non-cis boys, and lack of innovation in the field. Recommendations are offered to those interested in pushing the boundaries of performance and gender identity and a call for institutions to support this work.

Absent mechanisms of restorative justice, victims of sexual harassment, particularly those within the LGBT+ community that are already frequent targets of relational aggression, are unlikely to either report or reckon with the consequences of inappropriate workplace behaviors and discrimination. Written from the perspective of a masculinized bisexual whose encounter with a pervasive culture of sexual harassment and psychological abuse provoked suicidal ideation, this paper employs the artistic practices of illustration as a means of first re-cognizing and recognizing phenomena, a Ricœurean construct of narrative and a palimpsest of multivocal text and images to evoke the lived experience of harassment and an analytic layer to invoke the phenomenon. By drawing, writing, and thinking through the phenomenon, the marriage of artistic and phenomenological approaches allows both researcher and reader to confront the ‘painful truths’ that otherwise resist easy analysis.

Bystander intervention has shown promise in preventing sexual violence in certain social contexts. Despite emerging evidence of pervasive sexual violence at music festivals, no research has considered bystander intervention in this setting. Drawing on an online survey conducted with 371 Australian festival attendees, we explore the role of gender on bystander intervention at music festivals. Findings point to significant gender differences, with women more willing and likely to intervene in a broader range of scenarios. We argue that responses to sexual violence are a collective responsibility shared by both women and men, as well as festival organizers and industry bodies.

''À partir d'octobre 2017, #MeToo devient un phénomène mondial, en diffusant internationalement le slogan que Tarana Burke, militante new-yorkaise contre les violences sexuelles, avait lancé dix ans plus tôt. Une multitude de victimes témoignent sur divers supports numériques et médiatiques, reformulant et intensifiant des luttes féministes en cours contre les violences sexistes. À l'initiative d'une nouvelle génération de chercheuses et chercheurs francophones sur les violences de genre, ce premier ouvrage académique en France sur #MeToo cherche à comprendre l'événement. Il propose une approche empirique de ce mouvement mondial. Il décrypte d'abord l'événement #MeToo dans sa matérialité, ses contextes de réception et d'appropriation et s'efforce de montrer comment l'usage des réseaux socionumériques permet d'articuler de nouvelles formes de militantisme ou de renforcer des pratiques militantes existantes en ligne et hors ligne. Il inscrit ensuite #MeToo dans une histoire des luttes féministes de plus long terme et s'efforce de questionner son unité à travers l'étude de ses résonances contrastées dans différents milieux professionnels.''-- Site de l'éditeur

Theatrical dance remains widely perceived as an unconventional activity for boys and young men in many Western contexts. This chapter focuses on professional male dancers’ pathways into recreational, pre-professional dance and assesses the various obstacles encountered and the sources of encouragement available to continue dancing and to pursue a dance career. Data analysis challenges the assumption that homophobia and hierarchies among boys, men, and masculinities have been erased. The chapter argues that wider systems of inequality, oppression, and power persist. These continue to affect boys and young men, influencing their choices and the possibilities to transgress gender norms.

Sexual harassment continues to be a problem that most commonly affects women in the United States workforce today. While there are legal and organizational remedies available, most of these mechanisms for redress only exist for workers in traditional employeremployee contexts. Independent contractors, self-employed workers who represent a growing number of labor force participants in this economy, can therefore only use informal means of addressing sexual harassment. This study used grounded theory methods to analyze 88 separate narratives of sexual harassment from 70 fashion models, an overwhelmingly female set of independent contractors currently operating in the American economy. The aim of the analysis was to understand the mix and meaning behind the use of informal strategies—more specifically confrontation versus non-confrontation—in response to this sexual harassment. Notably, models most often confronted the perpetrators of harassment. Critically, however, those models who chose non-confrontation did not minimize the abuse that they faced. Instead, they either saw themselves as powerless or engaged in self-blame when faced with harassment on the job.
