Faced with a depleted planet and a series of connected crises,
socially-minded agents and entities within the world of culture and
the arts are reacting from within. With insights from sociology,
economics, and cultural management and policy, this book aims to
chronicle the journey of SMart - a cultural and artistic social
enterprise now present in eight European countries - in order to
illustrate such organisation's efforts to achieve its potential for
social innovation and transformation. Tackling the endemic
precariousness and intermittency of work through innovative
arrangements for cultural workers and artists has been central to
these efforts. In many cases, however, this activism not only had a
direct impact at the level of individual and collective labor, but
has transformed the ways culture is 'governed'. Readers of this
book will better understand the connection between social
innovation and culture and the arts; gain awareness of the trends
and transformations within the field of culture and cultural work
and their connection with institutional arrangements: and
critically engage with the processes, challenges and benefits of
scaling up and diffusing social innovation. The debates presented
will be of relevance to scholars and students across disciplines,
policy makers at both EU and national levels, practitioners and
social activists.
