Number of Authors: 32020 (English)In: Project Management Journal, ISSN 8756-9728, E-ISSN 1938-9507, Vol. 51, no 4, p. 367-377Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Abstract [en]

The projectified selfis suggested in this article as a way to advance emancipatory project studies toward improved understandings of how individuals in contemporary neoliberal societies are urged to become self-controlling, self-improving, self-commercializing, life-compartmentalizing, and deadline driven. We propose (1) a developed theoretical foundation for studies of the projectified self, based on recent writings onenterprising selves, and (2) the notion ofprosumptionas a concept for how the worthiness of this projectified self is constructed in a simultaneous process of project-based production and consumption. This is discussed in relation to the on-going studies of social media entrepreneurs.
