Document Summary

Mark banks cultural industries, work and inequality (pg. Social justice is about both giving and receiving. To give or do justice is to offer respect and due consideration to attribute appropriate weighting to specific qualities, and to treat fairly and reasonably in the light of those qualities. To receive justice is to be evaluated equitably and given our due, or to be appraised and administered in accordance with our legitimate rights, entitlements, or needs. In real love, ross seeks to combine this sense of justice for cultural forms, with evaluation of the values and claims that culture is invested with. Doing justice to cultural work therefore means respecting the internal" goods and qualities of work as a practice but without discounting the external structures and pressures that tend to make such work somewhat less than appealing. Different institutions distribute their resources and favours in more or less fair or equal ways.
