This article considers the analytical potential of a concept of care that foregrounds human interdependencies, relational ties and the needs of others as the basis for action in analysing work, such as creative work, which is neither directly nor obviously associated with care provision. Work in the creative industries has recently become a central concern in sociology. Much of this scholarship reproduces or extends the idea of creative work as a paradigm of individualized work in contemporary societies that is characterized by high levels of worker autonomy, passion, self-expression and self-enterprise. This article challenges such theorizations by calling attention to the role of caring in creative work, understood both as an ontological phenomenon and as a relational practice of sustaining and repairing the world. Drawing on a qualitative study of socially engaged art in South-East Europe, I argue that creative work manifests itself as a labour of care and compassion.

从热情到同情：对作为社会参与艺术的创造性工作的关怀调查

本文考虑了以人类相互依存关系、关系纽带和他人需求为基础的护理概念的分析潜力，作为分析工作（例如创造性工作）的行动基础，这与护理提供既不直接也不明显相关。创意产业的工作最近成为社会学的核心关注点。该奖学金的大部分内容都将创造性工作的理念复制或扩展为当代社会中个性化工作的范式，其特点是高度的工人自主性、激情、自我表达和自我企业。本文通过呼吁关注关怀在创造性工作中的作用来挑战这些理论，关怀既被理解为一种本体现象，又被理解为一种维持和修复世界的相关实践。
