Winning and losing in the creative industries: an analysis of creative graduates' career opportunities across creative disciplines

Following earlier work looking at overall career difficulties and low economic rewards faced by graduates in creative disciplines, the paper takes a closer look into the different career patterns and economic performance of “Bohemian” graduates across different creative disciplines. While it is widely acknowledged in the literature that careers in the creative field tend to be unstructured, often relying on part-time work and low wages, our knowledge of how these characteristics differ across the creative industries and occupational sectors is very limited. The paper explores the different trajectory and career patterns experienced by graduates in different creative disciplinary fields and their ability to enter creative occupations. Data from the Higher Education Statistical Agency (HESA) are presented, articulating a complex picture of the reality of finding a creative occupation for creative graduates. While students of some disciplines struggle to find full-time work in the creative economy, for others full-time occupation is the norm. Geography plays a crucial role also in offering graduates opportunities in creative occupations and higher salaries. The findings are contextualised in the New Labour cultural policy framework and conclusions are drawn on whether the creative industries policy construct has hidden a very problematic reality of winners and losers in the creative economy

Bohemian graduates in the UK: disciplines and location determinants for entering creative careers

The human capital and regional economic development literature has become increasingly interested in the role of the ‘Bohemian occupations’ on economic growth. Using UK higher education student micro-data, we investigate the characteristics and location determinants of creative (bohemian) graduates. We examine three specific sub-groups: creative arts & design graduates; creative media graduates; other creative graduates. We find these disciplines influence the ability of graduates to enter creative occupations and be successful in the labour market. We also highlight the role of geography, with London and the South East emerging as hubs for studying and providing Bohemian graduates with more labour market opportunities

Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC) sebagai bagan klasifikasi untuk institutional repository

A classification scheme has an important function in the organization of information. In its hierarchical structure, the classification chart can help users search for documents or items stored in an online database or repository through common subjects to more specific sub-subjects. Searching in this way will have significant benefits if the classification chart used is sufficiently adequate as a means of classifying documents or scientific work items stored in a repository. In this article the author will discuss the potential of Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC) to serve as a classification chart in the repository; Advantages and disadvantages of ANZSRC in its function as a classification chart; Strategy for implementing ANZSRC as a classification chart in the repository; etc

Utterance and Authorship in Dialogic Art: or An Account of a Barcamp in Response to the Question, ‘What is Dialogic Art?’

The written aspect of this practice-based thesis ‘collates’ a one-day event exploring the question, ‘What is dialogic art?’ into a textual account. The practical aspect threads through this account, with reference to its dissemination elsewhere made frequently. The event ‘documented’ here is a ‘barcamp’, a kind of ‘unconference’ that combines presentations with responsive discussion. This barcamp brings together practitioners of art, activism, education, philosophy, sociology, sociolinguistics, literary theory and criticism, and others to explore dialogic art through a dialogue that moves amongst their respective points of view. The barcamp’s collation tracks the contributors’ discursive struggle to co-author dialogic art as a dialogue-based approach to contemporary art practice. ‘The dialogic’ that qualifies this art accretes through the barcamp as an artistic disposition preoccupied with the constitutive agency of dialogue, understood here in an expanded sense. This disposition explores the myriad relations that preoccupy authorship qua authorship. These include the material and conceptual thresholds organising creative agents and their cultural production: participation and collaboration, process and outcome, the author and the authored. The epistemological foundation of this barcamp can be defined as dialogic because it understands knowledge as arising from social relations and enacted through intersubjective exchange. Similarly, the ontological basis for this project issues from a post-structuralist sense of subjectivity as simultaneously dispersed and multiple, distributed amongst authors. These philosophical perspectives underpin the theory of subjectivity evolved through dialogic art. This theory recommends the art’s authors as ‘responsive subjects’—artist-agents who are themselves reciprocally authored through their artistic practice. This reciprocal authorship explodes the twin myths of the independent artistauthor and the discrete artwork without abandoning the facticity of their historical existence. Always contingent, dialogic artworks and their artist-agents are presented in this project as polyphonic portraits of heterogeneous becoming achieved through dialogic exchange

Penggunaan Sistem Klasifikasi Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC) dalam Pengolahan Tugas Akhir

Salah satu sistem klasifikasi yang digunakan untuk mengklasifikasikan hasil-hasil penelitian yaitu Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC). ANZSRC merupakan sistem klasifikasi yang dibuat oleh Australia dan New Zealand. Di perpustakaan pusat UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim, penggunaan sistem klasifikasi ini digunakan pada pengolahan tugas akhir tercetak dan digital. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis penggunaan sistem klasifikasi ANZSRC serta mengetahui faktor pendukung dan penghambat dalam penggunaannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Lokasi di Perpustakaan Pusat UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim dengan situs layanan tugas akhir Perpustakaan Pusat UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim. Sedangkan sumber data yang digunakan adalah data primer dan sekunder. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik observasi, wawancara dan studi dokumentasi. Analisis data menggunakan Miles,Huberman,& Saldana (2014:14). Sedangkan uji keabsahan data menggunakan triangulasi sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem klasifikasi ANZSRC mampu mengcover subyek hasil penelitian, sehingga Perpustakaan Pusat UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim menggunakannya untuk mengklasifikasikan tugas akhir (skripsi, tesis, disertasi). Selain itu ANZSRC bersifat fleksibel sehingga nantinya memungkinkan untuk menambahkan field of research (FOR) ANZSRC sesuai dengan perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan. Namun ANZSRC tidak memiliki bidang klasifikasi untuk hasil penelitian dengan kajian studi keislaman, sehingga Perpustakaan Pusat UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim harus mengembangkan sistem klasifikasi tersebut. Dalam penggunaan sistem klasifikasi ANZSRC tentunya memiliki faktor pendukung dan penghambat. Adapun faktor pendukung dalam penggunaan sistem klasifikasi ANZSRC dalam pengolahan tugas akhir adalah motivasi dari pimpinan, sumber daya manusia, sarana dan prasarana serta fleksibilitas ANZSRC. Sedangkan faktor penghambat dalam penggunaan sistem klasifikasi ANZSRC dalam pengolahan tugas akhir adalah sumber daya manusia, kurangnya promosi, serta ANZSRC yang tidak memiliki bidang penelitian keislaman
