Resumo
A economia contemporânea, marcada por uma intensa globalização e pelas novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação, tem assistido a um incrível aumento da competitividade. Foi nesse cenário que os valores intangíveis e os significados culturais agregados aos produtos se tornaram tão ou mais importantes que sua funcionalidade. Particularmente nos setores que compõem a chamada economia criativa, como o design, as artes visuais, a música, a moda, a gastronomia, etc., os bens e serviços passaram a se destacar por sua singularidade e por terem, simultaneamente, valor econômico e valor simbólico. Tendo esse cenário como pano de fundo, o presente texto apresenta um estudo de caso ancorado na Austrália, que revela como o segmento da arte indígena se tornou parte da economia criativa naquele país, possibilitando uma ocupação culturalmente significativa e economicamente viável para comunidades tradicionais em situações de contato. Por fim, sugere-se a relevância de abordagens interdisciplinares para a análise de práticas artístico-culturais.
Contemporary economy – marked by a very intense globalization as well the new information and communication technologies – has achieved an incredible increase in competitiveness. Cultural and intangible meanings linked to products and services have become almost more important than their functionality. This is particularly – but not exclusively – true in sectors that comprise the so-called creative economy, as the design, visual arts, music, fashion, food etc. In contemporary societies, merchandises stand out for their uniqueness and for having both economic value and symbolic value. Having this scenario as background, this paper presents a case study based in Australia, which reveals how the segment of indigenous arts turned to be part of the creative economy in that country, allowing first nation people to have a culturally significant and economically positive occupation. Finally, the text illustrates the relevance of interdisciplinary approaches to analyze artistic-cultural practices and processes.
