Abstract

Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht Arbeitsverhaeltnisse der Kultur- und Kreativberufe. Es gibt einige empirische Anhaltspunkte, dass sich hier eine neue Stufe der Flexibilisierung von Arbeit vollzieht, die als Erwerbshybridisierung zu beschreiben ist. Die Frage ist, unter welchen beschaeftigungs- und arbeitspolitischen Bedingungen und in welchen empirischen Formen sie auftritt sowie welche Arbeitswirklichkeiten sich damit verbinden. Argumentiert wird, dass die Aufteilung von Erwerbsformen nach sozialversicherungspflichtig versus selbstaendig nur mehr zu kurz greift und dass sich in den Kulturberufen hybride Arbeitsverhaeltnisse entwickeln, die sich als Grenzgaenge zwischen Erwerbsformen und Arbeitsverhaeltnissen manifestieren. Exemplarisch diskutiert wird dieses Problem am Beispiel der Designbranche. Empirische Basis ist eine umfassende, qualitative Studie ueber kuenstlerisch-kreative Arbeit im arbeitsgesellschaftlichen Strukturwandel, die eine Feldstudie von zwei Feldern der Designbranche umfasst: Kommunikations- und Modedesign. Deutlich wird an diesem Beispiel, dass sich das Phaenomen der Erwerbshybridisierung korrespondierend mit der institutionellen Umwelt ausbildet, dass es daher zu strukturell differenzierten Grenzgaengen kommt und dass damit Herausforderungen fuer die Interessenpolitik im Kulturbereich verbunden sind. (This article examines labour relations in the creative industries. There is some empirical evidence to suggest that a new level of work flexibility is emerging in the creative industries, which can be described as employment hybridisation. The question is which labour conditions and industrial relations lead to hybrid employment patterns and which work realities are connected with them. I will argue that in the cultural industries hybrid employment patterns evolve that occur as boundaries between self-employment and employed working conditions. This argument is illustrated with examples from the design industry. The empirical basis is a comprehensive, qualitative study of artistic and creative work, including a field study of two fields in the design industry: communications and fashion design. It is clear from this example that the phenomenon of employment hybridisation corresponds with the institutional environment. Thus, there are structurally differentiated border crossings. Finally, this poses a challenge for industrial relations in the cultural sector.)
