NEO-LIBERALNA INSTITUCIJA KULTURE I
KRITIKA KULTURALIZACIJE 3.
Prelom Kolektiv, Novembar 2007.
Tokom poslednjih decenija svedoci smo
neo-liberalnih napora da se ‘kultura’
podredi ekonomskim mehanizmima
slobodnog tržišta u smislu kulturalizacije
ekonomije ili, obratno, ekonomizacije kulture.
Principi slobodno-tržišne konkurencije
i preduzimaštva uvedeni su u nekada
privilegovano polje umetničke ili intelektualne
proizvodnje. To ne znači samo jednostavno
uvođenje tržišnih odnosa u ‘sferu
kulture’, već pre ukazuje na uspostavljanje
praksi preduzimaštva na individualnom
nivou – na nivou subjekta.
Ovakva logika savremene upotrebe ‘kulture’
uočljiva je u neo-liberalnoj strategiji
kulturalizacije političkih odnosa – kako je
4.
to formulisao Boris Buden . Ona u man-
joj meri ukazuje na gotovo potpuni slom
‘političke sfere’ u njenom modernom
smislu, a više na njenu značajnu transformaciju.
Artikulacija političkih borbi i
društvenih antagonizama izmeštena je iz
‘klasičnog’ domena državnih aparata kao
što su političke partije, parlamentarni
sistem i procedure pravne države ka rasutom
polju konkurentskih ‘kulturnih opcija’.
Međutim, kulturalizacija prevazilazi
jednostavno transformisanje političkih
problema u probleme kulture. Kulturalizacija
je takođe ‘škola kulture’: obrazovanje,
kultivisanje i uzgajanje subjekata
dominantne kulture. ‘Kultura’ je samim
tim samo jedan momenat ideološke edukacije
ili, još bolje, kreiranja (nemačka reč
Bildung obuhvata oba značenja) ‘narodnih
masa’ – precizno govoreći, subjekata (u oba
značenja te reči: podanika i autonomnih
delatnika) kapitalističkog poretka.
‘Kultura’ u savremenim post-jugoslovens-
SpaPort, is a widely dispersed phenomenon.
Just as in the case with the Belgrade
University Games from the Partisan
Songspiel, through such events a symbolic
rapprochement with the civilised West is
produced and it is shown that the progressive
and creative powers of the world can
get together in the one-time conflictive
Balkans, land of blood and honey. This was
one of the striking examples of the culturalisation
of politics in the area.

Interpretation No 2.
THE NEOLIBERAL INSTITUTION OF CUL-
TURE AND THE CRITIQUE OF CULTURAL-
IZATION 3.
Prelom Kolektiv, November, 2007
During the recent decades we have witnessed
an obvious neoliberal effort to
subdue ‘culture’ to the mechanisms of the
free-market economy in the sense of the
culturalization of the economy or, conversely,
the economization of culture. The
principles of free-market competitiveness
and entrepreneurship have been introduced
into the once privileged sphere of
artistic and intellectual production. This
means not only simply bringing market
relations into the ‘sphere of culture’, but
is more about establishing the practices of
entrepreneurship at the individual level –
at the level of the subject.
The logic of the contemporary usage
of ‘culture’ is evident in the neoliberal
strategy of the culturalization of political
relations – as Boris Buden has called
it 4.
. What it indicates is less an almost
total breakdown of the ‘political sphere’
in its modern sense, but more its significant
transformation. The articulation of
political struggles and social antagonisms
have moved from the ‘classical’ domain of
