Abstract

What sparks collective acts of resistance to workplace inequality? This article considers the Covid-19 (C-19) pandemic as an interruption to established practices of creative work, one that creates the opportunity for politicised subjectivities to develop. It is based on a qualitative investigation of cultural and creative workers located in the Italian city Milan conducted in the aftermath of the first C-19 lockdown. Observations of an emerging sense of consciousness, a recognition of precarious working conditions associated with creative labour by those who operate within the sector, combined with the necessary resource of time created the conditions for collective action. Building on previous literature that considers the disruptive effects of interruptions, from either large-scale physical disaster or significant change to an individual's personal identity, the article explores the generative outcomes that can emerge from an interruption, one which creates opportunities for re-imagination and political re-futuring.

后科维德-19 时代的创意和文化工作：作为政治再创造空间的中断

是什么引发了抵制工作场所不平等现象的集体行动？本文认为，Covid-19（C-19）大流行是对创意工作既定实践的一种干扰，它为政治化主体性的发展创造了机会。文章基于第一次 C-19 封锁后对意大利米兰文化创意工作者的定性调查。通过观察发现，该行业的从业者正在形成一种意识，认识到与创意劳动相关的工作条件不稳定，再加上必要的时间资源，为集体行动创造了条件。之前有文献认为，大规模的物质灾难或个人身份的重大变化都会对工作中断产生破坏性影响，本文在此基础上探讨了工作中断可能产生的生成性结果，这种结果为重新构想和政治重组创造了机会。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Cultural Studies is committed to rethinking cultural practices, processes, texts and infrastructures beyond traditional national frameworks and regional biases. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and historical analyses that interrogate what culture means, and what culture does, across global and local scales of power and action, diverse technologies and forms of mediation, and multiple dimensions of performance, experience and identity. Dedicated to theoretical and methodological innovation in cultural research, the journal is multidisciplinary in outlook, publishing relevant contributions that integrate approaches from the social sciences, humanities, information sciences and more. International Journal of Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal gives preference to papers that extend existing theory or generate new theory through interpretive engagement with empirical cases. Papers based on single country case-studies should clearly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses for an international readership. The journal does not publish close readings of single texts; but it does consider critical, contextualised readings that similarly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses to the field. International Journal of Cultural Studies regularly publishes special issues on urgent questions in the field as well as on specific regions, industries and practices.
