*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. *
