Scripting Creativity

• In the field of music, discourse on creativity has predominantly centred on issues such as digitalization, piracy, copyright law, and the business dilemmas and challenges facing the major actors in the industry. What creativity is or could be is, however, seldom questioned: it is either taken for granted or seen as standing in stark opposition to the strategies of the majors trying to defend their positions in the field.This book contributes to the discourse on creativity by deconstructing a volume of the leading music journal in Scandinavia, Musikermagasinet, from a social constructionist perspective. It does this by asking what field (dis)positions are being mediated by the journal, and how this is accomplished.Creativity, it is proposed, can be seen as scripted in the field of music, and the journal as a gender scripting machine that inscribes – and exscribes – creative (dis)positions into the field in hegemonic and binary ways.
