I first unpack the concept of passionate work, situating it within four possible ways of relating work and pleasure. I argue that the work ethic of do what you love, contrary to what it promises, limits the prospects of loveable work. As part of a neoliberal work culture, do what you love transfers the battleground from society onto the self. It favours self-management over politics. Drawing on findings from interview research with members of worker co-operatives in the UK cultural industries, I then go on to explore the relation between work and pleasure within cultural co-ops. I discuss how cultural co-ops might inspire and contribute to a movement for transforming the future of work by turning the desire for loveable work from a matter of individual transformation and competition into a practice of co-operation and social change. </jats:p>","lang":"eng"}],"date_created":"2024-10-07T12:22:20Z","type":"journal_article","status":"public","page":"113-129","_id":"56368","publisher":"SAGE Publications","user_id":"110918","volume":21,"citation":{"apa":"Sandoval, M.
