Abstract
This article discusses some network mechanisms that may facilitate involvement in artistic production. More specifically, it explores the nature of the collaborative networks in which musicians are embedded, and looks for the structural configurations that are most conducive to individual creativity. Drawing upon a dataset consisting of 253 music teachers in the Italian region of Trentino, and focusing in particular on record production, the article shows productivity and artistic vitality to be highest among musicians with a balanced combination of ties to other musicians in the local music schools system, and ties to musicians with different territorial locations. These findings contribute to established lines of research on the network determinants of individual productivity and creativity in various domains.
期刊介绍：
Social Networks is an interdisciplinary and international quarterly. It provides a common forum for representatives of anthropology, sociology, history, social psychology, political science, human geography, biology, economics, communications science and other disciplines who share an interest in the study of the empirical structure of social relations and associations that may be expressed in network form. It publishes both theoretical and substantive papers. Critical reviews of major theoretical or methodological approaches using the notion of networks in the analysis of social behaviour are also included, as are reviews of recent books dealing with social networks and social structure.
