ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts discussed in the preceding chapters. This chapter discusses the claim that the industry was exponentially proliferating prior to the introduction of the new legislation and that this was due to a growth in demand. It discusses the ways in which dancer's labour is organized and value is extracted in strip clubs has laid the basis for further expansion of the industry, often with minimal risk for those investing in it. The chapter explains that the economic structure of value extraction in the stripping industry is a key reason for the proliferation in terms of quantitative numbers of venues. This chapter describes the relational work that is undertaken by dancers in negotiating the particular form of attention that is to be commodified and the type of affective labour that delivers it. In locating this in the growing contemporary attention economies, we align it with other emergent systems of value production in contemporary capitalism.
