Seconde session: What is Work Worth?

How to Complete a Work ? The Working Process in Creative Undertakings

My aim is to lay some analytical foundations on which to build an investigation devoted to the creative working process and its completion and non-completion. Sociology has little to offer for as the interpretation of specific works of art. In the academic division of labor, the study of specific works of art is a matter of highly specialized knowledge. On the other hand, sociology has much to offer with regard to work, employment, careers, occupations in the arts, and the social processes linking up several kinds of professionals who cooperate to
make art producible, collectible and available. However, in studying the working process in the arts we might better understand what kind of work an artistic work actually conceals. So, one possible avenue to an individual artistic work is to see it as the outcome of a process. Not only to document the different stages of its production, but also to detect how high variability is a built-in characteristic of that process, and how choosing and decisionmaking takes place in that uncertain course of action. And inquiry moves both upstream and downstream of the outcome.
