艺术家的社会地位:来自国际法的推动

The Social Status of Artists: from the Promotion of International Law

联合国教科文组织于1980年通过的《艺术家地位建议案》是迄今为止唯一一部直接倡导成员国通过各种措施以提高艺术家社会经济地位的国际性法律文件,促使不少国家制定了本国的"艺术家地位法"。文章以舞蹈艺术家的境遇为例,探讨艺术家在中国的社会地位问题,认为中国也需要认真研究该建议案,以它为参考完善我国的相关法律制度,提高艺术家的社会地位,进而完善中国的文化治理机制。

The "Recommendation concerning the Status of the Artist ",adopted by UNESCO in 1980,has been the only international legal document that explicitly advocates member states to implement various measures to improve the social and economic status of artists so far. Under its influence,some countries have formulated or are working on formulating their own"artist status law".Taking the current situation of dance artists as an example,this paper discusses the social status of artists in China,and holds that China not only needs to study the"Recommendation",but also should take it as a reference to improve our relevant legal system,so as to enhance the social status of Chinese artists and further improve the cultural governance mechanism.
