“…There has been relatively little recognition within economic geography of the importance of freelance labour to the knowledge economy, due to the continued centrality of the 'firm' within the sub-discipline (Maskell, 2001;Taylor and Asheim, 2001;Yeung, 2003). This neglect is despite these types of freelance projects being increasingly common, and almost universal in many cultural and media industries (see , Cook et al, 2011;Davenport, 2006;Mould et al, 2014;Saundry and Nolan, 1998;Storey et al, 2005;Ursell, 2000), which have undercut the integrity of the firm as key unit of collective commercial agency (Grabher, 2002a). Indeed, it is the economic geography literature on these industries that one has to look to find critical engagement with issues around freelance labour; see, Pratt (2000) and Christopherson (2002) on new media; Coe (2000) on the indigenous film industry in Vancouver; Vinodrai (2006) In this paper, we begin to address this gap in the literature by presenting the first geographical analysis of transnational freelance mobilities in the creative industries.…”
