Critique of Creativity: Precarity, Subjectivity and Resistance in the ‘Creative Industries’

234 p. : il., Tablas.Libro ElectrónicoLa creatividad siempre está en movimiento: surge, se establece en el ente colectivo, palidece y desaparece a veces en el olvido; renace, vuelve con innovaciones, se reformula y resurge iniciando de nuevo el ciclo. Los viejos mitos de la creación y los creadores, los trabajos consagrados y los organismos privilegiados de los demiurgos están de nuevo en marcha, produciendo nuevos cambios. Los ensayos recogidos en este libro analizan ese resurgimiento complejo del mito de la creación y proponen una crítica contemporánea de la creatividad.Creativity is astir: reborn, re-conjured, re-branded, resurgent. The old myths of creation and creators – the hallowed labors and privileged agencies of demiurges and prime movers, of Biblical world-makers and self-fashioning artist-geniuses – are back underway, producing effects, circulating appeals. Much as the Catholic Church dresses the old creationism in the new gowns of ‘intelligent design’, the Creative Industries sound the clarion call to the Cultural Entrepreneurs. In the hype of the ‘creative class’ and the high flights of the digital bohemians, the renaissance of ‘the creatives’ is visibly enacted. The essays collected in this book analyze this complex resurgence of creation myths and formulate a contemporary critique of creativity.Contents vii Contributors ix Acknowledgements xv Introduction: On the Strange Case of ‘Creativity’ and its Troubled Resurrection 1 PART ONE: CREATIVITY 7 1 Immanent Effects: Notes on Cre-activity 9 2 The Geopolitics of Pimping 23 3 The Misfortunes of the ‘Artistic Critique’ and of Cultural Employment 41 4 ‘Creativity and Innovation’ in the Nineteenth Century: Harrison C.

Valuation beyond the market : on symbolic and economic value in contemporary art

Social scientists Ulf Wuggenig and Steffen Rudolph concentrate upon the question of how the art market and its conservative impact and agency are researched empirically in academic writing. In their comparative study, “Valuation beyond the Market: On Symbolic and Economic Value in Contemporary Art,” they present the status of current sociological research and its findings—including their own. What emerges here is a regulatory mechanism typical of the market, which generates two different forms of value: symbolic value and economic value

Critique of creativity : precarity, subjectivity and resistance in the 'Creative Industries' / Gerald Raunig, Gene Ray & Ulf Wuggenig (eds)

Creativity is astir: reborn, re-conjured, re-branded, resurgent. The old myths of creation and creators – the hallowed labors and privileged agencies of demiurges and prime movers, of Biblical worldmakers and self-fashioning artist-geniuses – are back underway, producing effects, circulating appeals. Much as the Catholic Church dresses the old creationism in the new gowns of 'intelligent design' , the Creative Industries sound the clarion call to the Cultural Entrepreneurs. In the hype of the ‘creative class’ and the high flights of the digital bohemians, the renaissance of ‘the creatives’ is visibly enacted. The essays collected in this book analyze this complex resurgence of creation myths and formulate a contemporary critique of creativity

Text und Tabellenteil der Projektbeschreibung basieren auf einer 1978 durchgefuehrten postalischen Befragung von Studenten wissenschaftlicher Hochschulen Niedersachsens. Die vom Autor als 'vorlaeufig' bezeichneten Untersuchungsergebnisse orientieren auf die sozio-oekonomische Situation der Studenten und messen dabei den Zukunftsbezug besondere Bedeutung bei. Sie sind wie folgt gegliedert: '1. Kognitive Antizipation und aktuelle sozio-oekonomische Lage. 2. Der subjektive Berufsbezug, die Rolle der Bildungswerbung und die Wahrnehmung der beruflichen Chancen nach Studienabschluss. 3. Die Rueckwirkungen der veraenderten Arbeitsmarktsituationen auf die aktuelle Lage. 4. Der Realitaetsgehalt der studentischen Zukunftserwartungen. 5. Der Bezug der Hochschulsozialisation auf die berufliche Praxis auf der Ebene von Schluesselqualifikationen.'
