ABSTRACT

Digitalization[1] in the cultural sector[2] is one of the main conditions for the implementation of a strategy resolutely focused on the uses, the dissemination of culture to the maximum accessibility for the French public. It was very beneficial in maintaining the economic, social, and cultural activities during the Covid-19. Besides, digitalization has transformed the cultural sector in relation to public access and the sustainable model in the post-pandemic world. The objective of this article is for rethinking digitalization in the evolution of the cultural sector and sustainability of French cultural sector management. This article will analyze the situation of population, digitalization, and cultural sector of the post-pandemic period. Then we discuss about its opportunities, challenges, and problems. More irresistible and intensive than before, digitalization will be a crucial and unavoidable challenge in the response to the pandemic and in the future sustainable reboot of the cultural sector. It is important to rethink infrastructures, accessibility, cultural attractivity, legal rules, management of cultural content and data, the effects on health, etc.
