The outcome of ‘smart working’ policies on cultural workers in the Italian Public Sector

This work focuses on the impact of smart working applied to cultural operators working in sites located in the South of Italy, and in rural and inner areas. Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, work had been undergoing radical changes, in what we can call a ‘smart’ and digital turn. We decided to focus on how the Italian government and the literature have defined and addressed the terminology of ‘smart working’, observing its application with an eye on de-spatialization of workplaces themselves.
