Recenzje

"In this beautifully written and strongly engaged text, Tim Butcher shows how creative work might be liberated from precarious labour through a systematic focus on collaboration. Weaving skilfully between theories of affect, precarity and learning and stories of artistic practice, the outcome is an impassioned argument for realising new possibilities within creative economy" Steven D. Brown, Nottingham Trent University, UK 

"Tim Butcher raises a number of provocative questions: Can we work creatively and freely without experiencing precarity and complicity with labour market logics? Can the creative arts contribute to discussions of equality, marginalization, and social change? He addresses these questions through a blend of academic sources, artist reflections, and his own experience." Ann L Cunliffe, FGV-EAESP, Brazil
