Why are artists poor?
Descriptives
Vocation: willingness to accept low
income
At the same time mental support of
society
No link quality/price?
Aesthetic value = social value
Government encourages
experts' = interference in the market
Ideology: Artist = unselfish
13. Cultural and Creative Industries Training Jan 25th 2015
Six explanations
1. Personal gratification, recognition and status more
important than money
2. Artists poorly informed about incomes needed
3. Government Grants deliver more Artists, not a
higher income
4. Artists rely on other sources of income
5. Cuts in labor (higher productivity) not taken place
in the arts
6. Myth of the individualistic Artist prevents
organized pressure groups (trade unions)

or name used to enable the public to identify the
supplier of goods. Trademarks can be registered,
which gives the holder the exclusive right to use
them. Manufacturers, distributors, or importers
may register them. They can be sold and are an
important form of commercial property.
15. Cultural and Creative Industries Training Jan 25th 2015
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
Moral argument: every man has a property in his own person
(Locke); the natural right
Economists view:
1. intellectual property rights and patents create income
2. artificial scarcity through a monopoly on various products
restricted output and higher prices
Libertarian view: anything that one produces, with their own
hands and/or with their own capital in collaboration with their
creative mind, is their exclusive property. But once ready to be
sold subject to the free market competition, unhampered
by claims of intellectual property rights.
16. Cultural and Creative Industries Training Jan 25th 2015
IPR Criticism
IPR it should be rejected altogether, because it systematically distorts
and confuses the market, its use is promoted by those who gain from it.
Analogy with physical objects fails; physical property is generally
rivalrous, while intellectual works are nonrivalrous (if one makes a copy
of a work, the enjoyment of the copy does not prevent enjoyment of
the original)
Fundamental tension: It hampers human rights of cultural participation
and scientific benefits
article 27 Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Everyone has the
right to the protection of the moral and material interest resulting
from any scientific, literacy or artistic production of which he is the
author
and that Everyone has the right ...... to share in scientific
advancement and its benefits.

Editor's Notes
#7: Bourdieu: de tweedeling tussen enerzijds subjectivisten, die de maatschappij beschouwen als het resultaat van de denken en handelen van individuele actoren, en anderzijds objectivisten, die het denken en handelen van individuele actoren beschouwen als het resultaat van maatschappelijke structu足ren. Het centrale concept waarmee de Franse socioloog deze tweedeling te lijf gaat, is habitus: de mentale structuur die individuen tijdens hun groei van zuigeling tot volwassene in een bepaalde sociale omgeving ontwikkelen, de manier waarop zij geneigd zijn de wereld waar te nemen, te waarderen en daarbin足nen te handelen. Omdat de habitus binnen een bepaalde sociale omgeving wordt gevormd, zullen individuen met een overeen足komstige sociale achtergrond niet alleen een vergelijkbare habitus ontwikke足len; zij zullen ook geneigd zijn de hen omringende werkelijkheid en hun plaats daarbinnen als vanzelf足sprekend te aanvaarden en daarmee de wijze waarop die wereld in elkaar zit, met alle bijbehorende sociale verschillen, in hun denken, oordelen en handelen te reproduceren.
