«Remake the Globe!». Un'inchiesta sui lavoratori dello spettacolo durante la pandemia in Italia

The article discusses some results of a survey concerning entertainment workers that had been carried out during the pandemic in Italy. When the application of the measures to suspend activities caused a systemic crisis in the labour market, it exacerbated the already existing critical issues. These resulted in mobilizations that brought about a recomposition of interests in a sector characterized by individualism, self-entrepreneurship, precarious work and multiplicity of professions. The essay further analyses two relevant issues. First, what are the unifying requests that have contributed to overcoming the fragmentation. Second, what type of convergences was established. The requests expressed by the workers displayed three different characteristics. Some claims were drawn toward an individual viewpoint. For others, the most important issue is sectoral improvement. Lastly, the third group pays more attention to a universalistic perspective.
