Izgubljeni prihodi i pronađena solidarnost: utjecaj prvog vala pandemije bolesti COVID-19 na kulturni sektor u jugoistočnoj Europi. (Czech)

Lost Income and Found Solidarities: The Impact of the First Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Cultural Sector in South-Eastern Europe. (English)

The paper presents results of a research on the impact of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on the life and work of cultural workers in South-Eastern Europe, which was carried out from May till July 2020. The paper shows how in that period in all of the researched countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia) cultural workers noted a significant drop of income, expected decrease in total earnings and continued trend of the necessity of additional work and self-exploiting practices. In the researched countries, the measures for minimizing the negative impact of the pandemic on the cultural sector were mainly not adopted at the local level. If they were adopted on the national level, these predominantly included one-time assistance to artists and cultural workers, and selected indirect measures, where a difference between EU Member States and those outside of the EU exists. The data shows a limited influence of international foundations and networks on the sector, however, one can note an increase of initiatives and networks of solidarity of professional associations, NGOs and independent cultural workers. The research shows that for the cultural sector in South-Eastern Europe the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a number of negative consequences, while the early measures in most of the countries were of limited impact and scope. The positive effects are reflected in the strengthening of solidarity within the sector and greater networking among cultural workers, as well as in the strengthening of the view that a new, more sustainable approach to the cultural sector is needed, and which is not based on the market logic.

U radu se donose rezultati istraživanja o utjecaju prvog vala pandemije bolesti COVID-19 na život i rad kulturnih radnika i radnica u jugoistočnoj Europi provedenog od svibnja do srpnja 2020. godine. Rad ukazuje na to kako je u navedenom razdoblju u svim istraživanim zemljama (Bosna i Hercegovina, Crna Gora, Hrvatska, Sjeverna Makedonija, Slovenija i Srbija) kod ispitanika/ica uslijed nemogućnosti rada zabilježen značajan pad prihoda, predviđen je pad ukupnih primanja te nastavljen trend nužnosti dodatnih poslova i samoeksploatacijskih praksi. U istraživanim zemljama mjere za smanjenje negativnih posljedica pandemije na kulturni sektor uglavnom nisu donesene na lokalnoj razini, a ukoliko su donesene na nacionalnoj razini, uključivale su pretežno jednokratnu pomoć umjetnicima/ama i kulturnim radnicima/ama te odabrane mjere posrednog tipa, pri čemu je prisutna razlika između zemalja članica EU-a i onih koje to nisu. Podaci pokazuju ograničen utjecaj međunarodnih zaklada i mreža na sektor, ali se zato diljem regije pojavio niz inicijativa i mreža solidarnosti profesionalnih udruženja, NVO-a te nezavisnih kulturnih radnika i radnica. Podaci pokazuju da je i za kulturni sektor u jugoistočnoj Europi prvi val pandemije bolesti COVID-19 donio niz negativnih posljedica, dok su rane policy mjere u većini zemalja bile ograničenog utjecaja i opsega. Pozitivni učinci očituju se u osnaživanju solidarnosti unutar sektora i većem umrežavanju kulturnih radnika i radnica te jačanju vidljivosti da je potreban novi održiviji pristup kulturnom sektoru a koji se ne temelji na tržišnoj logici.
