ABSTRACT The pandemic Covid-19 has highlighted the precarious working conditions that freelance performers and artists have always worked under. The aim of this article is to understand and explain freelance musicians’ strategies and emotional labour for dealing with their ambiguous positions and careers. The article develops a theoretical approach, combining concepts of precarity and emotional labour with Bourdieu’s theory of social practices. Interviews with 13 professional Swedish freelance musicians in the art music/classical genre were conducted in the winter of 2021. What is at stake in the gigs the freelancers have, are issues of social belonging and symbolic recognition. Aspirations for working life are negotiated in obvious and subtle ways, practically and emotionally. The freelancers strive to create a fixed point in a job on uncertain grounds.

ABSTRACT In many countries, lockdown regulations and social distancing have had a negative impact on the cultural and creative industries. As vaccination rates rise, and restrictions begin to ease, understanding the recovery paths for different parts of the sector in many contexts will be important. Much sector-specific research has been conducted, but there are far fewer studies that estimate the economy-wide impact of the lockdowns using quantitative techniques. Published research is also dominated by information from the global north, with less information coming from developing country contexts with higher levels of informality. This article uses two surveys (2020 and 2021) of firms and freelancers, and key stakeholder interviews in the cultural and creative industries, in South Africa and a Social Accounting Matrix, to fill this gap. Data on changing business continuity is used to construct a vulnerability score for each sub-sector, and to determine domain-specific factors that affect predicted recovery rates.

ABSTRACT This article explores the role of feminist perspectives in the cultural policies in the city of Barcelona during the period 2015–2019, attempting to identify potential resistances to gender-focused cultural policies. Based on a literature review and interviews with cultural policy and gender experts, the article reveals that resistances to gender-focused cultural policies remain in the cultural administration of the city, despite its feminist discourse. There are two key reasons for this resistance and for the lack of change to public cultural policies: the inertia in the organisation of cultural policies by the responsible department of the City Council and large cultural institutions, which are dominated by institutional cultures that protect male privilege and power; and the City Council’s failure to consider the feminist movement in the design and development of cultural policies.

ABSTRACT When the forces of globalisation brought B-boying (or breakdancing) to Korea, the traditionally conservative mainstream society looked askance at the practice. The government, concerned with building a strong national culture, set restrictive policies to protect Korean society from what it saw as a disruptive foreign influence. Nevertheless, a marginalised Korean B-boy subculture developed; rejected locally, Korean crews began competing globally. When they swept major international competitions, B-boying exploded in Korea and the government began to support and deploy it as iconic of Korea’s youthful and dynamic art world. Thus, B-boying in Korea has undergone two major cycles of globalisation and Korean government intervention since the 1980s. In this paper, we trace how a marginalised subculture came to be institutionalised as a point of national pride by the government and the role that glocalisation has played in this dramatic reversal of the fortunes of the B-boys in Korea.

ABSTRACT During the COVID-19 pandemic, information concerning attendance at cultural activities and arts participation has not been fully explored. Thus, this manuscript aims to explore the factors related to attendance at cultural and artistic activities during the shutdown period. With that purpose, we use the 2018, 2019 and 2020 MODECULT datasets (n = 1994, n = 1978, n = 1663, respectively) to perform a logistic regression analysis. Results suggest that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, being young, high education attainment, interest in cultural activities, and being familiar with cultural and artistic activities are positively associated with attendance at plays, music performances, dance performances, exhibitions and movies. Contrary, availability of information, perception of prices, perception of free time and cultural offering near home show negative relationships with those same categories. These findings have relevant implications on cultural policies, regarding the aspects that affect culture and arts participation in crisis times.
在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，有关参加文化活动和艺术参与的信息尚未得到充分挖掘。因此，本文旨在探讨停工期间参加文化艺术活动的相关因素。为此，我们使用2018年，2019年和2020年的MODECULT数据集(n = 1994, n = 1978, n = 1663)进行逻辑回归分析。结果表明，在新冠肺炎大流行期间，年龄小、受教育程度高、对文化活动感兴趣、熟悉文化艺术活动与戏剧、音乐表演、舞蹈表演、展览和电影的出勤率呈正相关。相反，信息的可得性、对价格的感知、对空闲时间的感知和家附近的文化提供与这些相同类别呈负相关。这些发现对影响危机时期文化和艺术参与的文化政策有相关的影响。

ABSTRACT This article critically reviews the edited collection Music Cities: Evaluating a Global Cultural Policy Concept published in 2020 as well as two Australian policy documents. We review how the music city paradigm has influenced the latest music-related policies in the Australian context with a focus on Brisbane and Melbourne. Melbourne and Brisbane have developed contrasting approaches that came about to address the same issue: encroaching gentrification impacting the viability of live music venues. We also highlight that policies derived from the music city paradigm focus on the live music city and not on the city as a site of music production. Ultimately, this might not be the best approach to foster resilient music scenes, especially in a global pandemic context.

ABSTRACT This paper interrogates two different perspectives on music and wellbeing. The first positions musical practice as being beneficial for emotional wellbeing and mental health, whilst the second positions musical work – building a career as a musician – as potentially detrimental. This apparent paradox matters because the clinical findings which establish a causal link between music and wellbeing are being disembedded from the contexts in which those links are manifesting by charities, social enterprises, advocacy organisations, educational institutions, governments and international bodies, and fuelling normative sociological prescriptions which encourage participation in music making. For those who go on to develop career ambitions, wellbeing outcomes are far less clear. Therefore, a more sophisticated appreciation of the uses of music and its impact on wellbeing is required. This paper provides a more balanced view of the connections between music, wellbeing and health and reflects on how this paradox might be resolved.

ABSTRACT The protection and promotion of cultural rights within Irish law and policy has been historically neglected and has only recently been recognised as a policy objective in its own right with the publication of “Culture 2025. Éire Ildánach”, Ireland’s first dedicated cultural policy framework. This article seeks to critically review this policy specifically as relates to the protection and the promotion of the cultural rights of migrants in Ireland. Whilst recognising that the Policy Framework represents a more holistic approach to the protection of cultural rights in general, this article will argue that it fails to provide any substantive protection to the cultural rights of migrants in Ireland. The protection of cultural rights appears to be more strongly iterated in Ireland’s migrant integration policy, as implemented through Government department initiatives and localised strategies, however overall, Irish policy is lacking in terms of satisfactory engagement with the cultural rights of migrants.
