520 "Screenwriting has been the subject of a wealth of popular
literature that seeks to offer this work to all, to reveal
the 'secrets' of screenwriting or to provide accounts of
how to succeed in the mainstream screen production
industries, primarily in Hollywood. But the deluge of How-
to style manuals and interview collections offer little
systematic analysis of the histories, practices,
identities and subjects which form and shape the daily
working lives of screenwriters. Screenwriting work demands
particular and complex forms of subjectivity in order to
distinguish it from other forms of filmmaking and writing,
to make the work knowable and do-able. This book analyzes
the ways in which screenwriters navigate and make sense of
the labor markets in which they are immersed. Drawing on
historical and critical perspectives of mainstream
screenwriting in the USA and UK, as well as empirical data
drawn from interviews, labour market and textual analysis,
this book presents an original and multi-faceted case
study of screenwriting as creative labor and professional
practice. Using a range of theoretical approaches and an
interdisciplinary methodological framework, it examines
both the structural and subjective features of
screenwriting work and it analyzes not only who has access
to the work, but also who is excluded from this
profession"--|cProvided by publisher.
