“…This analysis aligns with prior scholarly research indicating that even within purportedly more alternative music domains, which profess to distance themselves from capitalist influences, capitalism still exerts significant influence in determining which musicians receive promotion. This influence is often driven not by musical merit, but by economic and ideological considerations (Garland, 2019).…”

Research has explored the role of capitalist markets in the configuration of society and as social determinants. However, some niche markets have been taken by a form of capital, conceptualized as “predatory”, that has sought maximum benefit without caring for the social consequences of their activity on beauty, ugliness, freedom, and the overcoming of gender violence. This study addresses this gap by examining how “predatory capital” exploits various aspects of human life, including relationships, art, and music, by promoting ugliness over beauty. Through historical examples such as the tobacco industry's manipulation of women's liberation to promote smoking, this article reveals the detrimental tactics employed by predatory capital. It explores how the nightlife industry coerces youth into harmful behaviors through coercive dominant discourse, perpetuating toxic relationship dynamics and limiting individual freedom. Additionally, the study presents how the music industry reinforces harmful stereotypes and behaviors. Finally, it exposes how pseudo-theories, like those promoted by Foucault, are utilized to justify and perpetuate sexual violence, hindering progress towards freedom, gender equality, and social justice. This interdisciplinary analysis sheds light on the negative impact of predatory capital on human relationships, culture, and society, emphasizing the importance of critical awareness and resistance against its exploitative practices.

“…Therefore, here we consider the practitioners’ perspective of these wider sustainability concerns in these two locales. We argue for greater scrutiny of these views and a grounded perspective on cultural ecologies that brings the voices, competences and ‘phatic labour’ (Garland, 2019) of freelance performing artists into the centre of the research process.…”

“…Performers offer ‘affective labour’ (Hardt, 1999; Hesmondhalgh and Baker, 2011: 159–186) by inducing emotions and affect among their audiences and they engage in ‘emotional labour’ (Hochschild, 1983; Hofman, 2015) by manipulating and externalising their own emotional states, on and off stage. Simultaneously, they curate their bodies and appearance as forms of ‘aesthetic labour’ (Witz et al, 2003) and they forge and cultivate networks and friendships in what Shannon Garland (2019) calls ‘phatic labour’ (cf. Tsioulakis, forthcoming).…”

In this article, a transdisciplinary cultural labour perspective is used to examine the evolving and spontaneous networks and grassroots collective movements of performing arts freelancers in two contexts: Belfast (Northern Ireland) and Athens (Greece) in response to the outbreak of COVID-19. With a principally methodological contribution, the article proposes that evolving cultural ecologies research should mirror the ecologies it studies by adopting more collaborative and improvisational research approaches, drawing on inclusive research methods from disability studies and decolonising approaches within anthropology to reveal deeper knowledge and offer mutual benefit. Furthermore, it proposes that artists, overlooked in cultural ecologies research to date, bring knowledge from their practice beyond lived experience of value to such inquiry. The researchers collaborated with practitioner experts, revealing insights to freelancers’ milieu; their alternate systems for inclusion, representation and radical mutual care; and their increasing vulnerability in the face of ongoing exclusion from cultural recovery strategies and wider political and policy apathy to their concerns. This raises important moral and ethical questions for how cultural ecologies research and researchers engage with practitioner knowledge and the purpose of research in rendering such groups as creative freelancers visible within research and in the implicit and explicit urban and regional recovery planning in different locales. In addition, it proposes the inter- or transdisciplinary nature of cultural ecologies research may be better served by keeping its boundaries fluid, not just in the potential strength of blending research disciplines but also in its boundaries between the formal academy and practice.

Este artículo aborda el caso de la cantautora viñamarina Paz Miranda y su proyecto homónimo, con el propósito de hacer un acercamiento al concepto de fusión en la música independiente y su expresión sonora y social en la provincia de Valparaíso (Chile). De acuerdo al análisis musical realizado, se revela que su álbum debut, "Desvelado Punto Cardinal", está influenciado por el jazz, apareciendo también elementos de músicas latinoamericanas. Por otro lado, el concepto "amiguismo", examinado por Shannon Garland, es clave para entender el desarrollo del proyecto Paz Miranda y otras músicas locales, ya que son producidas a través de favores interpersonales, y la interconexión de músicos y trabajadores del rubro.
