It provides a comprehensive overview of the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the UK's cultural sector, identifying implications for policy, practice and the sector's future direction. Over eleven chapters, the book summarises the local, regional and national policy responses to the crisis, and provides statistical analyses of the impacts on the UK's cultural workforce and audiences' responses to the pandemic. These insights are further illustrated via detailed case studies of cultural sub-sectors of theatre, museums and galleries, screen industries, libraries and festivals, interviews with cultural leaders and an ecosystem case study of the Greater Manchester city region.
The book identifies recurrent themes emerging from the research, commenting on policy responses, audience confidence, shifts to digital engagement and civic responsibility, organisational practice and recovery. It offers a robust analysis of the short, medium and longer-term impacts of Covid-19 and highlights their implications for cultural practitioners, organisations, funders and policymakers. The unique contribution of the book lies in the presentation of findings which highlight the challenges faced by cultural practitioners, organisations and audiences from different backgrounds, regions and art forms. Using lenses which focus on both macro and micro levels, the book provides fresh insights into the implications for research on, with, and around the cultural sector, highlighting possible future directions for arts management, audience research and cultural policy studies. 606 $aPolitical Science / Public Policy / Cultural Policy$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / Media Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / Sociology$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aPolitical Science / Public Policy / Cultural Policy 615 7$aSocial Science / Media Studies 615 7$aSocial Science / Sociology 615 0$aSocial sciences. 702 $aGilmore$b Abigail 702 $aO'Brien$b Dave 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910872251203321 996 $aPandemic culture$94321284 997 $aUNINA
