| Abstract: | This article argues that creative competition reality television, a distinct genre within the reality TV format, reproduces capitalist hegemony by naturalizing neoliberal values, the myth of meritocracy, and the precarity of cultural labor. Drawing from a case study of Amazon Studios’ 2020 fashion design competition Making the Cut, I examine the pedagogical role of creative competition shows as they shape the labor conditions of the cultural workforce. |
