| Περίληψη: | This work adds to contemporary debates on individualisation and emerging form of cooperation in precarious and pandemic times by considering the case of Italian performing artists during Spring 2020. Drawing on both traditional and digital ethnography, the analysis considers workers collaborative and intersubjective efforts to challenge exploitative and individualised practices of work. The results show that, despite dominant interpretations of cultural work as an entrepreneurial and solitary project, in a context of extended crisis, fragmented experiences of work can be recomposed, and cooperation can be enacted. In the months that followed Covid-19 outbreak, performing artists’ emotional and affective ties result to be central in exiting social isolation and to project solitary experiences of work into a collective understanding. |
