“…Much current scholarly literature and popular discourse present entrepreneurial employment as empowering. Such presentations accord with longstanding popular American perceptions of the entrepreneur as a positive archetype, worthy of emulation and central to capitalism's capacity for economic growth (Gill, 2013).…”

Journalism studies scholarship tends to emphasize professionalism as an occupational ideal, while scholarship on the culture industries stresses the salience of insecure careers. We argue that an exhaustive typology of journalism careers is needed to capture the potential variability in the structure of journalistic labor. This typology distinguishes professional, bureaucratic, entrepreneurial, unwillingly entrepreneurial, and nonemployed careers, and is relevant to a broader set of occupations in the culture industries. We illustrate this typology through an analysis of the occupational life histories of 60 Israeli journalists. This allows us to explain the dual nature of professionalism in journalism as a rhetoric nested within particular institutional contexts and this occupational rhetoric's splitting into “tribes of professionalism.”

“…The present research follows this call to further theorize special advisers by applying a career perspective inspired by both the literature on policy professionals (Blach-Ørsten et al 2017b;Garsten et al 2015;Svallfors 2017) and the sociology of work literature (Abbott 1993;Gill 2013;Neff 2012;Neff et al 2005).…”

“…A persistent metaphor in studies on special advisers is the need to more constantly shine the bright light of research in their direction: Blick’s (2004) seminal book on special advisers bears the title The People Who Live in the Dark , and in an introduction to a recent special issue on ministerial advisers, Hustedt and Salomonsen (2017: 201) argued for a need to drag ministerial advisers “out of the dark.” That, however, is not the only need Hustedt and Salomonsen (2017) addressed: they also called for a theoretical turn in studies on special advisers, following Shaw and Eichbaum (2015) in an earlier special issue on the subject. The present research follows this call to further theorize special advisers by applying a career perspective inspired by both the literature on policy professionals (Blach-Ørsten et al 2017a; Garsten et al 2015; Svallfors 2016) and the sociology of work literature (Abbott 1993; Gill 2013; Neff 2012; Neff et al 2005).…”

This article presents a study on special ministerial advisers examining their careers beyond their role in the machinery of government. Applying a theoretical framework derived from the literature on the sociology of work and the transformation of the organization of politics in the Nordic welfare states, we make two theoretical points. First, special advisers are part of an emerging group of partisan policy professionals, and second, the characteristics of this group are best analyzed through the lens of the boundaryless career. By combining these two positions, we contribute to studies on special advisers by offering a longer career perspective, and we contribute to studies on the boundaryless career by analyzing a job market other than the dot-com and cultural industries. Mapping the entire career paths of all Danish special ministerial advisers from 2000 to 2017 ( n = 144), we show that the position of special adviser serves as a stepping-stone to a new labor market that typically culminates with a position in private public relations. This conclusion lends fresh support to concerns about the privatization of politics changing policy formation in the Nordic welfare states.

“…Scholars have, for example, analyzed media (Achtenhagen and Welter, 2011;Iyer, 2009;Wallis, 2006), business periodicals (Gill, 2013), popular narratives (Smith, 2010;Smith and Anderson, 2004), teaching material (Ahl, 2007b;Jones, 2011) and entrepreneurship research (Ahl, 2004;Bruni et al, 2004). All results point to the male gendering of entrepreneurship and the stereotyping and second-ordering of women.…”
