Europe in capitalist a(rt) minor
22.09.2008 | "If no intellectual, artistic, political discourses are developed which criticise what is going on in Europe, there will be no interest, no participation in European issues at all." (Therese Kaufmann / Gerald Raunig)
New issue of journal Maska – Europe in capitalist a(rt) minor is focused on the reflection on the state of art and culture in contemporary Europe – not taken only as the exclusive club of EU member states. Slovenia’s EU Presidency incite us to again ask ourselves about the future of Europe and the position of art in the newly formed social context. Maja Breznik is discussing what are the models and reforms controlling and dictating European cultural production and what has happened in the domestic cultural struggles that have taken place in the last seventeen years. Aglika Stefanova is addressing the dilemmas that dominate the cultural spaces of the former Eastern block as they are positioning themselves in the cultural field within the EU context in case of Bulgaria. While Suzana Milevska is writing about the state of European democracy when it comes to the countries waiting at EU’s doorstep and the pressures they are subject to in case of Macedonia and the name issue. The discussion on the future of Europe touches also upon the state of the field of art in post-Fordist society and is consequently related to the question of how to overcome the horizons of a capitalist regime by way of a social struggle. Or, how to organize a struggle for the reestablishment of art practices outside the structures and domination of the capitalist art market, which is the topic of Gene Ray’s, Beti Žerovc and Fancesco Salvini’s contributions.
Besides, the issue is featuring also Ljubljana lecture of prominent professor and theoris Erika Fischer-Lichte on the concept of the aesthetics of the performative and the analysis of the performance Maßnahme/Mauser by great concept philosopher of the German theatre Frank Castorf, in which he staged Brecht’s Measures Taken and Müller's Mauser to critically reflect upon the contemporary society.
