Abstract

Approaching creativity as a relational feature rather than an innate talent, "being creative" may be considered a process under construction through social practices, discourses, and cultural myths. This phenomenon is a path fraught with pitfalls for artists and creative workers who try to sustain a coherent creative identity in specific, sometimes difficult, conditions, but also given the regulation of societal discourses. To better understand these pain points, the following chapter introduces the main contributions of recent research in various disciplines on how identity-related tensions occur, are experienced by creative people, and are managed. It is structured around research streams that complement each other in their perspectives on tension and identity; one focuses on conflicting and threatened categories of identity, and the second on the painful experience of individuals in constructing their identity(ies). This work leads to limits and research avenues on identity categorisation, identity work, and subjectivity regarding socio-economic changes in the post-COVID-19 creative industries.
