John O’Hagan

Chapter 12 in Enacting Globalization, 2014, pp 125-133 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is about the migration and subsequent clustering of two groups of creative workers in a historical context, namely, composers and visual artists. The chapter will start by outlining why clustering of creative or any activity is of interest, covering the main potential benefits that might arise. Section 2 will outline our main empirical findings with regard to the migration and clustering of visual artists and composers. Section 3 will summarize the work that followed this, testing various hypotheses with regard to the effects of clustering and other factors on the creative output of visual artists and composers. Section 4 concludes the chapter.
