ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on the cultural and creative industries (CCI) sector and has accelerated the transition to digital culture. This article explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the consumption of CCI products seen from the islanders’ perspective. The data were collected through a survey conducted in 2020. Results show that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the consumption of cultural products and that socio-demographic characteristic does not influence the consumption of online cultural products during the pandemic period. The results further reveal that the increase in the consumption of online content of CCI during the pandemic was influenced by the attitude of people towards culture in the pre-pandemic time. Also, the consumption of online content of cultural products has proven to be more significant for respondents residing on small and medium-sized islands. The results could provide some valuable implications for cultural island policy.

Résumé

La pandémie de COVID-19 a eu un impact considérable sur l’industrie de la culture et de la création, en plus d’accélérer la transition vers une culture du numérique. Cette étude explore l’impact de la pandémie de COVID-19 sur la consommation d’activités culturelles et créatives du point de vue des insulaires. Les données ont été colligées dans le cadre d’un sondage mené en 2020. Les résultats révèlent d’une part que la pandémie de COVID-19 a affecté la consommation de produits culturels et d’autre part, que les caractéristiques sociodémographiques n’ont aucun effet sur la consommation de produits culturels en ligne en période de pandémie. Ils montrent aussi que l’augmentation de la consommation de produits culturels et de loisirs en ligne durant la pandémie reflète l’attitude qu’avaient déjà les répondants à l’égard de la culture avant la pandémie. De plus, la consommation de produits culturels en ligne s’avère plus importante chez les répondants résidant sur une île de petite ou de moyenne envergure. Ces résultats pourraient présenter des avantages pour l’élaboration des politiques culturelles de ces îles.
