Gender Relations And Cultural Consumption In Post- Transitional Croatia

Based on the results of a nationally representative survey carried out in late 2017, this paper discusses cultural consumption in post-transitional Croatia, four years after its accession to the European Union. At the centre of the analysis are differences in the patterns of consumption related to income, age, education, as well as urban or rural location, but primarily to gender relations in the household. Namely, the overall aim of the analysis is to assess the potential role of culture in the further social and economic development of the country, not in the sense of the economic potential of its cultural heritage or creative and cultural industries but in terms of what the achieved level of gender equality tells us about its “mode of modernity” (Touraine). Our previous work on the division of household labour is here complemented by an analysis of – so to speak – the household division of cultural consumption. In addition to Touraine’s critique of modernity, the theoretical background for the interpretation of data includes various approaches to gender and development. The empirical research was carried out within the Croatian Science Foundation funded project on gender modernisation (GENMOD, HRZZ 6010).
