| Shrnutí: | This enquiry is focused on the situation of ordinary artists; it is based on the observation of the trajectories of professional actors in France who have been affected by a prolonged, or even definitive, loss of the right to regular unemployment compensation. The focus is thus on the ordinary disqualification and professional devalorization that occurs in the job market for actors. The cases of these individuals are indeed exemplary of a lack of financial recognition of artistic activity except in the most institutionalized realms of the theatrical space. This phenomenon contributes to a professional destabilization for the actors concerned here, and thus to a deterioration in their working conditions and degradation of their artistic practice. While the job market for theatre actors indeed appears to be flexible and deregulated, publicly-funded jobs, which are ultimately those where salary standards are completely respected, have become rare and coveted situations—lack of access to which tends to determine a form of professional disaffiliation. |
