Abstract

How does the precarity of creative work iterate with the precarity of creative spaces? In answer, we examine Covid-19 pandemic experiences of workers across diverse creative sectors in Sydney, Australia, drawing upon qualitative mapping research. Our findings highlight divergent experiences of precarity before and during the pandemic: many suffered, others adapted, some even thrived, depending upon the nature of their work, access to socialisation and networking opportunities, plus whether livelihood precariousness was worsened and overlaid with additional geographic factors, including venue loss, tenure vulnerability, housing insecurity, and access to production spaces. Using conceptual insights from labour and feminist geography, we argue that for the creative sectors to flourish and support diverse, well-remunerated and satisfying work, there must also be discussions of the post-pandemic geography of creative work. Space and social relations within and beyond the work sphere are co-constitutive of precarity.

不稳定的工作和不稳定的城市空间：大流行病创造力的不同体验

创意工作的不稳定性如何与创意空间的不稳定性相互影响？为了回答这个问题，我们利用定性制图研究，考察了澳大利亚悉尼不同创意行业的工作者在 Covid-19 大流行中的经历。我们的研究结果凸显了大流行之前和期间不同的不稳定经历：许多人遭受了痛苦，其他人则进行了调整，有些人甚至茁壮成长，这取决于他们的工作性质、社交和网络机会，以及生计不稳定是否恶化，并与其他地理因素相叠加，包括场地损失、保有权脆弱性、住房不安全和生产空间的获取。利用劳动地理学和女权主义地理学的概念见解，我们认为，要使创意产业蓬勃发展并支持多样化、报酬丰厚和令人满意的工作，还必须讨论创意工作的后流行地理学。工作领域内外的空间和社会关系是不稳定的共同构成因素。

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.
