    Over the last years, basically due to the Covid pandemic and the related acceleration of digitalization of creative processes, cultural organizations have moved to digital platforms from their traditional physical premises. This shift has modified not only the fruition of cultural services by audiences, but also the production of creative content and the organization of artistic work. To explore these issues in an empirical setting, we adopt the theoretical framework of sociomateriality and carry out a qualitative case study on the screendance “1 Meter CLOSER”, performed during the 2020 lockdown by the Italian contemporary dance company, Fondazione Nazionale della Danza Aterballetto. Our findings reveal sociomaterial relationships between three aggregated dimensions (i.e., means of production, practice sites, organizational culture), suggesting that the platformization of performances gave performing arts organizations the opportunity to renew reciprocal adaptation between humans, sites/sights of production and digital means, also contributing to revitalize organizational purpose and identity

    Cultural entrepreneurship has been seen as a process through which cultural workers organize activities around culture, motivated by their passion and willingness to create cultural value. This chapter provides an account of the actions that cultural entrepreneurs deploy to satisfy the needs related to developing and sustaining their activities. Based on 120 interviews with cultural workers at an early stage of their entrepreneurial activity, the chapter shows that sustainability is a multifaceted concept consisting of three main dimensions: creative, economic, and social. Individuals consider these different dimensions simultaneously while dealing with three main needs: sense of purpose, networking, and professional development. In so doing, they engage in a varied set of actions aimed at figuring out a personal path to sustainability. The chapter contributes to the understanding of how cultural entrepreneurs manage to establish and sustain an entrepreneurial activity, by experiencing the hurdles related to manage the different and often contradictory aspects of it

    Il presente articolo intende approfondire le caratteristiche distintive degli spazi collaborativi (coworking, FabLab, hub creativi, ecc.), focalizzandosi sul ruolo dello spazio fisico e sul rapporto tra individui e spazio in questi nuovi contesti lavorativi. L’articolo si inserisce nella letteratura che considera il rapporto tra spazio di lavoro, comportamenti organizzativi, collaborazione e creatività e attraverso una ricerca empirica, condotta tramite multiple case study, si propone di esplorare le caratteristiche fisiche ed estetiche dello spazio, ma anche i meccanismi attraverso i quali gli utilizzatori entrano in relazione con lo spazio di lavoro
