Konrad Becker, Martin Wassermair (eds.): Kampfzonen in Kunst und Medien. Texte zur Zukunft der Kulturpolitik (2008) [German]

“Kampfzonen in Kunst und Medien” ist nicht nur der erste Versuch, die national-konservativen Regierungsjahre von ÖVP und FPÖ aus einer Perspektive zu beleuchten, die als besonderer Indikator für die allgemeine Kräfteverschiebung zu Gunsten einer neoliberalen Hegemonie gewertet werden muss. Er beschreibt auch die Handlungsfelder einer künstlerischen und medialen Praxis sowie die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen von Kulturpolitik.

Der Sammelband unternimmt einen wichtigen Versuch zur Sichtbarmachung einer kritischen Intelligenz, deren Bedeutung für die demokratische Bestandssicherung einer öffentlichen Sphäre immer weniger Wertschätzung erfährt und daher letztlich unterzugehen droht. Angesichts fundamentaler Veränderungen von Gesellschaften auf ihrem Weg zu Informationsökonomien sind Texte zur Analyse und Artikulation einer Kulturpolitik der Zukunft jedenfalls unerlässlich.

Readings For Artworkers, No. 1: Culture, Not Profit (2009)

This is the first Volume of the Journal of Free / Slow University of Warsaw and a recap on first year of its activity. Internal diversity of the Volume corresponds to the mode of operation of this para-institution, which experiments with various avenues of knowledge production and exchange. The present and the first Volume is a recap on the 212 working days of the Free/Slow University of Warsaw during the first year of its activity. Internal diversity of the Volume corresponds to the mode of operation of our para-institution, which experiments with various avenues of knowledge production and exchange.

The subject of the first edition of the Free/Slow University of Warsaw was “culture not for profit.” The initiative referred to the tradition of free education, with a focus on establishing an environment that would enable critical reflection not only on culture, but also on its social, political and economic background. The participants made an attempt at a theoretical and practical research of the conditions of knowledge and culture production in the late capitalism, an analysis of the life conditions of activists, artists and cultural operators as well as at exerting an impact on the cultural policy and participating in debates on the current and the future shape of our societies.

Publication is available in Polish in printed form and online in English.
