Access Inequalities in the Artistic Labour Market in the UK: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Precariousness, Entrepreneurialism and Voluntarism

Abstract: This paper investigates the roles played by social enterprise and social activism in mitigating access inequalities in the artistic labour market in the UK. Our analysis focuses on underpaid internships as a primary form of access inequalities. By employing critical discourse analysis, this study contrasts the discourses of entrepreneurialism and voluntarism advocated by the government and social enterprises, with the counter‐discourse of precarity advanced by social activists. The central argument is that pre… Show more

“…The term "graduate employability" is an antecedent of graduate employment (Clarke, 2018) and refers to whether an individual is capable upon completion of their undergraduate degree of securing a job that lists a university degree as an essential component of the job specification (Donald et al, 2018;Gedye and Beaumont, 2018). Neoliberalism in higher education (HE) in England since the Robbins Report in 1963 places an ever-greater emphasis on graduate employability as a research topic (Donald et al, 2017;Maisuria and Cole, 2017;Tomlinson, 2012), as a measure of performance (Bridgstock and Jackson, 2019) and as part of a wider diversity and corporate social responsibility agenda (Bharadwaj and Yameen, 2020;Samdanis and Lee, 2019).…”

“…Focusing on identity-related questions and studying decisions in their historical context (Reisigl andWodak, 2016), Vaara et al (2005) examined the choice of a common language in a cross-border merger and how it shaped future power dynamics within the newly created organization. In a recent study on inequalities in the UK artistic labor market, Samdanis and Lee (2019) analyzed how different discourses are used by social enterprises and social activists borrowing Fairclough's (1992) framework for CDA. Building on Van Leeuwen's (2007) legitimation strategies, several scholars have studied legitimacy struggles and their corresponding legitimation processes.…”

“…It considers discourses and discourse users in light of the broader historical and sociopolitical context, and sees texts as ‘sites of struggles’ (Wodak, 2001, p. 11) that are inextricably entwined with material social elements (Mumby, 2011). Existing work mobilizing CDA, and the broader assumption of critical studies that organizations are political sites ‘accomplished in conditions of struggles and domination’ (Deetz, 1996, p. 202), has, for example, looked at how power, legitimacy, identity, or inequality are (re)constructed in and through discursive struggles (Vaara et al ., 2005; Lefsrud and Meyer, 2012; Barros, 2014; Vaara, 2014; Samdanis and Lee, 2019).…”

Graw ( 2009 , p. 174) claims that “there was in fact a great deal of literal exploitation in Warhol's film production: The actors were not paid.…”
