| <nettime-ann> transversal double issue: creativity hypes | a critique of creative industries |
.
|
creativity hypes | a critique of creative industries Creativity is
attractive again. The Catholic church is promoting old creationism in
the new
guise of intelligent design; cultural entrepreneurs are invoked with
the
creative industries; the hypes of the creative class and the
high-flying rise
of the digital Boheme are consolidating into a renaissance of the
creative. Yet
at the same time, very different functions are attributed to the
concept of
creativity. In the tradition of the aesthetics of genius it continues
to serve
the distinction of truly “creative” actors, who are capable of
generating and
asserting innovations. In cognitive capitalism, however, there are also
powerful populist impulses at work, in which the revolutionary
cultural-political demands for “culture from all” or the Beuysian
dictum of
“everyone is an artist” are perverted in a logic of the total creative
imperative. The current
edition of the web journal transversal,
which queries the hypes of creativity at a theoretical level, is
accompanied by
an edition in the cultural political discourse section on eipcp.net,
which
focuses especially on the Creative Industries and their critique based
on a series
of case studies. creativity
