Nikolić, GordanaTatlić, Šefik2023-02-072023-02-072015978-94-92302-03-8https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/no-17-the-gray-zones-of-creativity-and-capital/https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/20409What is the correlation among the creative industries, creative industry policies, new media paradigms and capitalism as colonial relations of dominance? What is the role of these industries in the prioritization of the interests of capital at the expense of those of society and how can these paradigms be criticized in the context of the actual, neoliberal, flexible regime of reproduction of capital? To what measure is this regime ‘flexible’ and to what measure it is just an extension of rigid, feudal and racial logics that underline (post)modern representational discourses? To what measure do the concepts of creativity, transparency, openness and flexibility conceal the hegemonic nature of modern hierarchies of exploitation? This publication brings together six essays that offer a critique of the relationship between the creative industries and capital. It treats ‘the networked world’ — its democracies, cognitivities, its attention and its paradigmatic cultural discourses — as one of the domains wherein and by which capitalism and its colonial relations of dominance are being reproduced, reorganized, perpetuated and ‘modernized’.<ul> <li><a href='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20409/TOD_17_Nikolic-Tatlic_2015_Gray-Zones_.pdf#page=9'>Šefik Tatlić and Gordana Nikolić: <i>The Gray Zones of Creativity and Capital: Introduction</i></a></li> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20409/TOD_17_Nikolic-Tatlic_2015_Gray-Zones_.pdf#page=13'>Jonathan Beller: <i>Within the Image</i></a></li> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20409/TOD_17_Nikolic-Tatlic_2015_Gray-Zones_.pdf#page=26'>Josephine Berry Slater: <i>Neutralizing Engaged Subjects in the Creative City</i></a></li> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20409/TOD_17_Nikolic-Tatlic_2015_Gray-Zones_.pdf#page=41'>Marc James Léger: <i>The Agency of Art in the Unconscious</i></a></li> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20409/TOD_17_Nikolic-Tatlic_2015_Gray-Zones_.pdf#page=52'>Ana Vilenica: <i>The Art of New Class Geography of the City: Culture-Guided Urban Regeneration Serving the Modernization of the Periphery</i></a></li> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20409/TOD_17_Nikolic-Tatlic_2015_Gray-Zones_.pdf#page=66'>Sandi Abram: <i>The Creative Factory: Collective Creativity and Autonomy in the Neoliberal Machine of Creative Industries</i></a></li> <li><a href ='https://mediarep.org/bitstream/handle/doc/20409/TOD_17_Nikolic-Tatlic_2015_Gray-Zones_.pdf#page=79'>Irmgard Emmelheinz: <i>Neoliberalism and the Autonomy of Art: The Culture of Power, the Power of Culture</i></a></li>engCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 GenericCreativityIndustryNew MediaCapital79110.25969/mediarep/19235
