This book uses an ethnographic lens to examine the ambitions of young artists in France and beyond. It explores the intersection between organisations, social media and the self, examining views of young artists ambitions for the future, as well as the organisation of space and time by public infrastructures and private conglomerates, inventing and discovering traditions, all against the backdrop of an increasingly digitized society.
The author was part of several theatre project teams, among them a European Union of Theatres project. The projects consisted of plays acted out by young comedians based in theatres across Europe; she also met with many young artists in visual arts and fashion acting as entrepreneurs. In this regard, the intersection between the private and public is interrogated and examined via digital technologies and the use of social media.
This book sits in the tradition of arts and management studies, will appeal to researchers in organisation and management studies, as well as those interested in the intersection between the humanities and business.
