“…A major aim of post-structuralism is to reveal such power and is therefore itself a powerful conceptual base from which to analyse the workings of the arts/market dualism in jazz (e.g. see Anderson and Harrison, 2010; Bajde, 2013; Hill et al, 2014; Murdoch, 2006; Roberts, 2012; Thrift and Dewsbury, 2000).…”

In this article, we explore the arts/market dualism in jazz from a fresh methodological, empirical and theoretical perspective in which post-structuralist thought on performativity, relational space and actor-networks is used to interrogate the ecology of jazz production and consumption we call 'the jazz constellation'. In this, we trace the positioning(s) and movements of an increasingly wellknown jazz musician via an analytic auto-ethnographical account of being and becoming an authentic jazz musician in the United Kingdom. By this, we give a rich, first-hand account of how the jazz constellation operates at and through the individual level. We then consider the extent of the negative grip the arts/market dualism has on jazz musicians, and ask if it can be overcome or eased in practice. Finally, we provide pointers towards future research that might draw on the poststructuralist approach adopted here.

“…When brands become affective cultural phenomena and ‘the ultimate expression of self’ (Cova and Dalli, 2009: 317), marketing needs to focus on the attitudes and constructions of reality by consumers who want to ‘own’ them in the sense that they have ‘constructed’ their social value for themselves. This abstraction is not new, and is arguably axiomatic of capital’s ideal operation (Roberts, 2012: 37), although it is now prosumers who are recruited to invest their own time, money and skills in the capture, management and channelling of know-how and creativity for profit (Beckett, 2012: 2).…”

Groundhog day? Nietzsche, Deleuze and the eternal return of prosumption in lifelong learning

This conceptual article examines George Ritzer's concept of prosumption in the context of lifelong learning in the UK. Ritzer's references to prosumption as a form of eternal return of a "primal act", which draw on the work of Friedrich Nietzsche and Gilles Deleuze, introduce some ambiguity into the concept. This ambiguity echoes a certain polarization in the debate about co-creation, especially regarding the nature of consumer participation in the creation of value, but it is central to defining the limits of consumer freedom and agency. Critical analysis of UK lifelong learning discourse shows how prosumption can work as a tool of control in this context, producing docile subjectivities, compliant forms of creative co-production and disposable 'nothing' products through repetition and a return of the same. Where prosumption is able to challenge this repetition, however, it involves creativity and the return of difference. These examples show how eternal return, ultimately, underpins prosumption's claim to offer a valid description of emerging practices of prosuming lifelong learners.
