Nakon entuzijastičnih rasprava i izrade izvještaja o kulturnoj politici i kulturnom razvoju u Republici Hrvatskoj krajem devedesetih i početkom dvijetisućitih (Cvjeti¬čanin i Katunarić, 1998; ...Katunarić i Cvjetičanin, 2003), događa se pad javnopolitič¬kog interesa za ovu problematiku. U posljednjih dvadesetak godina ne nedostaje istraživačkih interesa za pitanja kulture, ali se događa fragmentiranost debata, pa tako nema cjelovitih rasprava o kulturnom sustavu, nego eventualno o dnevnopo¬litičkim diskusijama o izmjenama zakona, pojedinačnim strateškim dokumentima i nedostatcima akcijskih planova. Ponegdje se dogodi i rasprava o lokalno-političkim kulturnim i/ili medijskim pitanjima te pritiscima odozdo određenih stručnih skupina i inicijativa, pri čemu je najjači utjecaj organizacija civilnog društva u području kulture i umjetnosti. Tomu procesu nije pomogao ni globalni krah medijske industrije, konti¬nuirana komercijalizacija kulturnih proizvoda i usluga, rast digitalnih posrednika te daljnja prekarizacija kulturnog radništva čime se smanjio prostor kritičke rasprave i izvještavanja.
What happens when cultural policy turns digital? Digital Transformation and Cultural Policies in Europe analyzes and compares different digital cultural policies of Europe. Through case studies of ...seven European countries (UK, Germany, Croatia, Sweden, Spain, Norway, and Switzerland) as well as the analysis of EU digital cultural policy, the book investigates what happens when cultural policy gets changed and challenged by digital culture. Based on a thorough discussion of key concepts and analytical perspectives, this collection also offers a unique multi-disciplinary contribution that shows how digital cultural policy is hyperconvergent. These policies contain established ideas of cultural policy – such as democratization, welfare, access, and national, protectionist ideas – brought together within a digital framework, while also adding new cultural policy tools and instruments, such as digital standards, international regulations, directives, etc. The book shows how digital cultural policies are works in progress, struggling to align their aspirations with their effectiveness. Overall, this book provides a valuable tool for understanding the current policy framework of digital culture. It will be of interest not only to scholars and students in cultural and creative industries but also to creative professionals and policy makers.
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.
Research on incoming productions has shown the complex picture of transnational power relations between governments, (multinational) media companies and the global network of precarious workers. ...Drawing on the findings of a case study on the introduction of the Production Incentive (PI) programme within the audio-visual policy in Croatia, this paper shows that the effectiveness of this policy instrument depends on the following socioeconomic factors: the policy and industry infrastructure characteristics of the small-scale AV sector, the volatility of politics, the informality of the work relations and weak unionisation. Both positive and negative aspects of the introduction of the PI emphasise the fragility of the Croatian small-scale AV industry in the context of the global creative economy. This opens up questions on the limits of the growth of PI as a policy instrument and its influence on further building of a sustainable audio-visual sector in Croatia.

In this article we critically analyse the usage of computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) among early-career sociology researchers in Croatia. In Croatia, the CAQDAS community ...is very small and is dominated by problems of great expectations coming from early-career researchers. This is elaborated through a case study that addresses issues of spread and availability of CAQDAS, opportunity for its usage, reasons why early-career researchers decide to use it or not and grounds for their decisions for use of a particular software package. The perceived advantages and limitations of CAQDAS are analysed and some misconceptions about CAQDAS are contextualised and related to the dominant quantitative research framework in Croatian sociology. The broadening of the number of qualitative researchers in the sociological community in Croatia, together with more educational programmes on CAQDAS, which would highlight reflexive usage of software, open perspectives for strengthening of qualitative research in Croatia.URN: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs1501127
This article explores the challenges experienced by civil society organizations (CSOs) in Croatia, as magnified during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the strategies they use to mitigate their effects. ...'Organisational resilience' is discussed based on interviews with CSO representatives from four fields: contemporary arts and culture, environmental protection, women's rights, and educational/youth organizations. Three themes are developed: the 'normality' of crisis, established practices of resilience, and emergent practices of resilience. Although the pandemic was experienced as a major disruption, there is a lingering sense of persistent crisis in the civil society sector which is constituted by many tribulations: wars and economic crises, piercing insecurity due to lack of stable funding and an antagonistic political climate. Established practices of resilience that help organizations stay afloat encapsulate financial ingenuity, caring about one's work, and good relations within and outside of the organization. Emergent practices include strengthening technology infrastructure and use, establishing a trade union for CSO workers, but also charging for services. The advocacy role of CSOs seems dimmed and their ability to help others comes at the expense of their founding values and personal wellbeing. This suggests a 'dark' side to organizational resilience, a concept frequently used to signal a positive ability.
The article analyses key aspects of work and employment in cultural and creative industries. After giving an overview of the specificities of cultural and creative industries that are important for ...the development of work and employment, the article analyses the influence of information and communication technologies on the latter, and outlines the emergence of participatory models of work and co-operation. The article proceeds to examine the division of cultural workers and overviews the types of employment in cultural and creative industries where atypical employment is highlighted as dominant. Cultural workers encounter in¬equalities that are related to gender, class, age and ethnicity. Special emphasis is given to the issues of gender inequality in work and employment in European cultural and creative industries. Insecurity of work and employment in that field is analyzed through the concept of precarity that is becoming more dominant in the explications of contemporary changes in such work. The article shows that the concept of precarity cannot contain all the specificities of symbolical nature in cultural products and the dynamism of cultural and creative industries as in¬stitutions of symbolic production. In conclusion, it is shown that further detailed research is needed in order to outline the contradictions of work in cultural and creative industries and to identify all the aspects of its complexity.
This introductory article provides contextual framing for the contributions to the special issue dedicated to the analysis of the impact of the European Union policies dealing with online platforms ...that are influencing cultural and audio-visual sectors. This special issue gathers interdisciplinary approaches and diverse contributions highlighting the cultural and audio-visual production within the EU policy framework. The contributions show, both, explicit and implicit influence of EU policy instruments and policy-making as well as policy implementation lag concerning cultural diversity provisions and compliance with advertising regulations on the protection of minors on online platforms. Furthermore, they signal the explicit and implicit impact of the streaming platforms on the local audiovisual production in a small-size European country, as well as local responses to them. The contributions show that there is a need not only for further policy instruments in this field but also for more thorough research in this complex field of contemporary culture.
