, Week 1 – Cultural Markets & Creative Competitors
Bradshaw & Holbrook (2007) – Self-destructive artist: myth & reality
Chat Baker / Amy Winehouse – self-destructiveness
Tension between art & commerce à if you can combine both, it is very advantageous.
The article is about a strategic marketing tactic: self-destruction. You want a great artistic
career, but also want to make a lot of money. Chat combines these without losing legitimacy.
How? Self-destruction = strategy à with self-destructive image you can be famous + remain
your artistic integrity together.
• Why good idea? Finding solution for art vs. commerce, which is difficult to combine
so this could be solution BUT it’s extreme. Consumers find it appealing, as they
present emancipated world, free from monetary power, materialism and capitalism.
Why would this help? Get attention; make reasons for people to write about you. Besides, it
might correlate with your storyline, be a part of themes you sing about for example. Third, he
got popular among people who don’t know much about music. à If it is at that level, you are
not seen as very credible anymore + lose your highbrow status.
• Except when you convince people, that it was unplanned to reach these people. You
were still there for highbrow status people, but the lowbrow people also pick you up.
You need to make sure that the highbrow people, know you are not there to make money.
This is why self-destruction supports this. If you are that stupid to self-destruct, this will
make it more believable that you’re not there to make money, or change your songs to also
reach lowbrow music people. If you are self-destructive in an open way, it allows you to get
popular, without losing your credibility.
Two extremes within the music industry:
1. Pure bohemianism (art for art) = producer as consumer à consumer strategy à
creative integrity. Musicians who perform primarily for themselves. Bride side:
authenticity, creative integrity.
2. Pure alienation (art for commercial) = consumer as producer à producer strategy
à pandering. Music purely made for commercial pursuit. Down side: pandering
represents complete subservience (onderdanigheid) to the marketplace.
Ø Many artists escape these extremes by settling for some form of scuffling that
preserves a degree of artistic integrity, while managing to make ends meet in a way
that will avoid starvation à overcome the fundamental contradiction between
consumer & producer strategy to achieve some degree of self-actualization as an
artist who can satisfy in order to survive, rather than self-destruct.
Pandering: ‘lowering yourself’ as an artist for commercial purposes.
Scuffling: having second job during daytime (lot of artists found their solution in this).
Legitimizing: keep authenticity & make creative products align with your aspiration, BUT
also for the commercialized crowd à it’s a mix, not 2 separate objectives.

, Dubois (2012) – Recognition and renown in the market for poetry
Purpose of the article: to look closely at the structure of cultural markets & at the circulation
of works between the two poles of large and fringe firms.
The article is about – niche – poetry in French; nobody makes big money (neither writers, nor
publishers). But why should you publish if there is no money in it?
• Prestige, serious poetry of a serious writer, way to attract people / genres, or
corporate reputation.
Creative industries à oligopoly fringe model: large businesses dominate bulk of the
market, leaving niches they deem insufficient profitable to small firms. The upstream selector
role of the large business plays a key role.
Two poles of production:
1. Highbrow literature: restricted production, limited appeal, niche markets.
2. Lowbrow literature: large scale production, wide appeal, mass-market literature.
Ø Concluding, the market is defined by the 80/20 principle: 80% of the market is
dominated by 20% or less of the firms.
The distinction between recognition & renown causes successful French poets to move
from small time publishes to majors. Their reputation is first recognition, but in order to
become renown, they need to go big.
Selective matching: associations with high-status partners – proves the most efficient
mechanism for building reputation. So majors want big artists to keep their reputation, big
artists want the majors to become renown. In addition, other reputational building
mechanisms such as awards, criticism and media coverage have an important role.
Competition is not about money, but about reputation…
Reputation as collective category: reputation is a category of collective thought, a
perception. Only has meaning when shared. Reputation functions along two axes:
− Vertically: reputation orders individuals within a hierarchy.
− Horizontally: it’s shared among a more or less large community. It structures the
cultural marketplace by differentiating two types:
− Recognition à reputation an artist enjoys within his / her original world of art.
o Minor publisher (big publishers don’t want you).
− Renown à extension of artists’ reputation beyond his / her world of art.
o Major publisher (they can help you grow).
Ø So, reputation has a chronological dimension: the success in earlier trials is a
condition for success in those to come, called process of legitimation.
The status of publishers is stable over time; whereas poets can rise and fall in status à
these moves make sense in terms of the distinction between recognition (= reputation an
artist enjoys within his / her original world of art) and renown (= extension of the artists’
reputation beyond his / her world of art).
Ø Gain reputation & move from small firms to large or high-status publishers à
because if a poet gets famous it goes to another publisher.
