Abstract

In this paper we will introduce some conceptual elements to understand the labor dimension of artistic performance. First, we will focus on the specific characteristics of the activity developed by performing artists. Secondly, we will analyze the organization of production in performing arts, and we will concentrate on agents, circuits and legislation of the sector. Finally, we will look into the ideas of surplus value and symbolic capital, and into the forms of their appropriation in the diverse circuits, as well as into the phenomena of self-perception and “self-chosen” precarization amongst culture workers.
