Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we suggest that the notion of “aesthetic cultures of protest” can be understood as designating two broad tendencies in the contemporary field of art and politics: on the one hand, the incorporation of the protest by the art world and, on the other hand, the appropriation of aesthetic traits by social protests. To counteract the ethical immediacy of both, we turn to Theodor W. Adorno’s more dialectical understanding of the relationship between protests and the aesthetic. After being marshalled against art’s internalisation of protest, and the protests’ appropriation of the aesthetic, we assess Adorno’s notion of form and autonomy through an immanent critique that is both conceptual and historical. We argue that Adorno’s aesthetics lacks an understanding of social labour, to which it itself ascribes great conceptual significance, and that recent changes in the global composition of capital and labour has affected the role of social labour in such a way that Adorno’s tendency to identify art’s autonomy with its negativity can no longer be upheld. Finally, we argue that the characteristics, which Adorno ascribes to the work of art has migrated to, and been realised by, a form of protest which reemerged simultaneously with the death of Adorno, namely the riot.

Kritik av konstens frihet : en motrapport
- 2022
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den här boken tar sin utgångspunkt i Myndigheten för kultur- analys rapport Så fri är konsten, som publicerades i juni 2021. Boken är utformad som en motrapport och ställer ett antal speci- fika frågor: hur bör vi förstå begreppet ”konstens frihet” under samtida förutsättningar? Vilka är relationerna mellan det be- greppet och de ”kreativa näringarnas” fält och principen om ”armlängds avstånd”? Och vilka skulle de politiska implikatio- nerna vara av en sträng förståelse av ”konstens frihet”? Men bok- en vill samtidigt, på en mer generell nivå, bidra till att öppna en principiell diskussion om vad en långsiktig, progressiv och anti- rasistisk kulturpolitik skulle kunna vara i Sverige idag, mot bak- grund av ett politiskt läge som kännetecknas av konservativa, xenofobiska och antiintellektuella krafters allt starkare inflytande. Författarna är forskare i Estetik och Filosofi vid Södertörns Högskola, där de driver forskningsprojektet Autonomi, kultur, handling: om kulturens politiska handlingssfärer i den nyliberala väl- färdsstaten, finansierat av Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, 2021–24.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- What is the relationship between the philosophical concept of the “autonomy of art” and the cultural policy-notion of “artistic freedom”? This article seeks to answer this question by taking the Swedish governmental report This Is How Free Art Is (Så fri är konsten 2021) and its reception in the Swedish main stream media as an emblematic example and by reading it symptomatically. Firstly, it traces the critical history of “artistic freedom” and the interrelated term “arm’s length distance”, primarily in the context of Great Britain. Secondly, it critically reconstructs the concept of the “autonomy of art” in the history of Western philosophy by making a critique of a fetishized notion of art’s autonomy in the name of l’art pour l’art. The main argument is that the idea about art’s autonomy, on which the Swedish report leans, resembles such philosophical and art historical idea of art’s autonomy. The claim is also that such an understanding of art does not tie up, either philosophically or historically, with the arm’s length principle, since they ultimately rely on different conceptions of art’s freedom.

Practices of Relations in Task-Dance and the Event-Score : A critique of performance
- 2021
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this study, Josefine Wikström challenges a concept of performance that makes no difference between art and non-art and argues for a new concept. This book confronts and criticises the way in which the dominating concept of performance has been used in art theory and performance and dance studies. Through an analysis of 1960s performance practices, Wikström focuses specifically on task-dance and event-score practices and provides an examination of the key philosophical concepts that are inseparable from such a concept of art and are necessary for the reconstruction of a critical concept of performance, such as "practice", "experience", "object", "abstraction" and "structure". This book will be of great interest to scholars, students and practitioners across dance, performance art, aesthetics and art theory.
