Gender-Based Violence in Arts and Culture: Perspectives on Education and Work

by Marie Buscatto, Sari Karttunen and Mathilde Provansal (editors)

About this book

Marie Buscatto, Sari Karttunen and Mathilde Provansal bring together research on sexual harassment and gender-based violence in artistic education and working life. The contributors study how professional hierarchies, informal networks and the organisation of creative work affect people's experiences and responses.

Case studies address French opera and art schools, Japanese popular music, the Helsinki School photography project, British screen industries, New York theatre and electronic dance music in France. The collection also examines the relationship between representations of violence and the conditions in which cultural work is produced. This complete 2025 volume retains its contributor biographies, references, afterword and index. Cover illustration by Stefania Infante, CC BY-NC; design by Jeevanjot Kaur Nagpal.
