conference is free of charge Addressing
the issue of social economy of creativity we seek to
enlarge the spectrum of creativity's political economy.
Creativity refers to many things: it is both a
means of production and a fetish of consumption, a sheer
ideology of the capitalism which calls itself
post-industrial and an efficient device of social and
industrial management, it reflects the elitist privilege
of the ruling elite as well as the aspirations of the
underprivileged rabble. If it is true that
contemporary capitalism has made an decisive shift from in
its modes of producing value then creativity and in
particular collective creativity becomes a central
category for the whole society. Or maybe the new paradigm
is just a humbug that covers up the overall crisis of the
existing one. Maybe we still linger under the rule of the
old law of value based rather on living labor then
creative networking. In this case the new social economy
of the creativity would be a powerful symptom of a present
crisis.
