Popis: |
The Introduction begins by examining the definitional ambiguity surrounding ‘art’ and its cognate ‘culture’; how all manner of exercises in purported clarification fail to clarify what ‘art’ is and often even reinforce the ambiguity. In contrast I coin the concept ‘art/culture’ to describe the overlapping territory of creative excess and idolised subjectivity. Having established ‘art/culture’ the issue then becomes why it is so hard to find a definitive critique of it and why such a critique is necessary. A brief survey of hesitant criticisms, which always explicitly avoid a total condemnation of art/culture, is undertaken along with the outline of my own criticism: that art/culture generates an ideological fantasy of perpetual revolution and self-realisation while reproducing exploitative relations and impoverishing the resources of imagination and creative subjectivity. |
