Abstract

This chapter briefly explores the usefulness of Deleuze’s idea of exhaustion for thinking about cultural policy and the cultural and creative industries. It draws on recent research into small-scale cultural and creative production in Scotland to demonstrate that exhaustion is increasingly characteristic of the experience of working in the cultural and creative industries. First, it shows that extant models of cultural policy and cultural funding close down the possibility for creativity and expression on both the part of creatives and audiences. Second, it emphasises the exhaustion that stems from the patterns of working, exacerbated by distance from so-called ‘hub’ cities. Third it discusses how concern about the exhaustion of the natural environment is driving change in the cultural and creative industries.
