Exploring the Performativity Turn in Management Studies
- 2013
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- One of the contemporary “turns” in management studies is the “performativity” turn. In this paper, we present a genealogy of the concept of performativity as it has been used in management and organization studies (MOS). Starting with the work of Austin, Bateson, Goffman and Lyotard, we move on to more recent debates surrounding the use of the concept by Butler and the STS researchers Callon, Latour and Law, as well as how their ideas have been further translated within MOS. The focus is on how the concept is defined and on the areas of study where performativity has been used. Taken together, the approach to performativity employed has implications for how the concept is understood and translated. Finally, we discuss the particular ontological position of the performative perspective, and its methodological consequences.

Constructing Soviet Cultural Policy : Cybernetics and Governance in Lithuania after World War II
- 2008
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Efter första världskriget var Sovjetunionen en av de första moderna stater som uttryckligen ägnade sig åt att övervaka och styra kulturen, vilket tog sig formen av en formaliserad och institutionaliserad statlig kulturpolitik. I denna övervakningsoch styrningsprocess försåg vetenskap och teknologi staten med konceptuella och materiella resurser vilka användes för att definiera såväl själva processen som föremålet för den. Efter andra världskriget gav utvecklingen inom naturvetenskap och teknik upphov till en ny vetenskap som behandlade frågor kring kontroll och kommunikation, Norbert Wieners cybernetik, vilken fick en bred tillämpning inte enbart inom ingenjörsvetenskapen utan även i frågor som rörde förståelsen av människor, maskiner och samhällen. Denna avhandling undersöker hur cybernetiken påverkade utformningen av den sovjetiska kulturpolitiken. Fokus ligger särskilt på sovjetiska Litauen. Det huvudsakliga argumentet är att en särskilt inflytelserik diskurs rörande cybernetisk styrning och övervakning utformades i Sovjetunionen från 50-talet och framåt. Som ett resultat av en överföring från tekniska och vetenskapliga diskurser var denna diskurs användbar inte bara som ett verktyg för att tjäna staten utan kunde även användas av kulturella aktörer för att kritisera själva sovjetsystemet. Genom att analysera organisatoriska praktiker och officiella och samhälleliga diskurser avslöjar denna studie komplexiteten i förhållandet mellan styrning och övervakning, kultur och vetenskap och teknologi.

From Authoritarian to Democratic Cultural Policy : Making Sense of De-Sovietisation in Lithuania after 1990
- 2009
-
In: Nordisk kulturpolitisk tidskrift. - : Högskolan i Borås. - 1403-3216 .- 2000-8325. ; 12:1, s. 191-221
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The article deals with discourses on governance in cultural policy in a context of radical political change. Drawing on an in-depth analysis of qualitative interviews, it explores how the meaning of “Soviet” cultural policy was retrospectively constructed by Lithuanian cultural operators as they talked about the post-1990 democratisation. The informants mobilised a complex discursive strategy of alienation and defamiliarisation which made sense of Soviet cultural policy and reconciled change with preservation of its elements. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which the informants perceived the changes in the distribution of power in which was associated with decentralisation reforms. The findings suggest that the distinction between authoritarian and democratic cultural policy models to a large extent came to be constructed in rather utilitarian terms and was strongly dependent on the contemporary practical issues. The conclusion therefore suggests we avoid essentialising the categories “authoritarian” and “democratic” in the theoretical construction of state cultural policy models. Instead, it points out that it is vital to examine the components of these categories as a subject of historically situated discursive negotiations.

Imagining the Grand Duchy of Lithuania: The Politics and Economics of the Rebuilding of Trakai Castle and the Palace of Sovereigns in Vilnius
- 2010
-
In: CENTRAL EUROPE. - : School of Slavonic and East European Studies,University College London. - 1479-0963 .- 1745-8218. ; 8:2, s. 181-203
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In 1884 the prominent nation-builder Jonas Basanavicius declared that castle mounds and literature were the only appropriate elements from which to build the Lithuanian nation. Basanaviciuss view, this article suggests, had a lasting influence on the public uses of history in twentieth-century Lithuania. The study explores the construction of two iconic images of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Trakai Castle and the `Palace of Sovereigns in Vilnius. Built in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, Trakai Castle was once the seat of the Grand Duke of Lithuania, but fell into neglect before its reconstruction in the 1960s. Dating back to the thirteenth century, the Palace in Vilnius deteriorated during the eighteenth century, was dismantled at the beginning of the nineteenth, and has been completely rebuilt since 2000. It is striking that the reconstructions of castles were the largest state investments in culture in both the Soviet and post-Soviet regimes. The reconstruction of Trakai Castle was criticized on economic and ideological grounds by Nikita Khrushchev. The rebuilding of the Palace polarized Lithuanian intellectuals. The presentation compares the intellectual, social, and political rationales which underpinned the two projects and explores the changes and continuities in the uses of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania under the Soviet and post-Soviet regimes.

Institutional Entrepreneurs of a Difficult Past : The Organisation of Knowledge Regimes in Post-Soviet Lithuanian Museums
- 2013
-
In: European Studies. - 1568-1858 .- 1875-8150. ; 30, s. 65-93
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter responds to recent critiques of the public uses of histories of the Holocaust and communist crimes in Lithuania by exploring the creation of the Museum of Genocide Victims and Vilna Gaon Jewish Museum in Vilnius. It has become a cliche to argue that Lithuanian public sector organisations, particularly museums, emphasise the terrible legacy of communist crimes and that they tend to forget - and even actively avoid making public - information about the killings of Lithuania's Jews. Participation of ethnic Lithuanians in the Holocaust, such critiques argue, is particularly obscured. This study provides empirical data which questions this view: it brings to attention the history of Vilna Gaon Jewish Museum, the existence of which has so far been overlooked by many scholars. In addition, this chapter suggests that in order to better understand the development of museum exhibitions about difficult periods in Lithuania's past, the Holocaust and communist crimes, it is necessary to go beyond the prevailing theoretical framework which analyses museum exhibitions as representations. Given that museums are highly heterogeneous organisations, which function as a result of collaboration (but not necessarily consensus) among many different actors, it is useful to study them as public knowledge regimes, a theoretical perspective developed by Michel Foucault and his followers. This Foucauldian approach is enriched with the organisational theory of 'institutional entrepreneurs', promoted by Paul DiMagio, which focuses particularly sharply on the potentially controversial role of individuals in creating and institutionalising organisations.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This book presents a comprehensive reassessment of Europe in the Cold War period, 1945-91. Contrary to popular belief, it shows that relations between East and West were based not only on confrontation and mutual distrust, but also on collaboration. The authors reveal that - despite opposing ideologies - there was in fact considerable interaction and exchange between different Eastern and Western actors (such states, enterprises, associations, organisations and individuals) irrespective of the Iron Curtain. This book challenges both the traditional understanding of the East-West juxtaposition and the relevancy of the Iron Curtain. Covering the full period, and taking into account a range of spheres including trade, scientific-technical co-operation, and cultural and social exchanges, it reveals how smaller countries and smaller actors in Europe were able to forge and implement their agendas within their own blocs. The books suggests that given these lower-level actors engaged in mutually beneficial cooperation, often running counter to the ambitions of the bloc-leaders, the rules of Cold War interaction were not, in fact, exclusively dictated by the superpowers.

National Museums in Lithuania : A Story of State Building (1855-2010)
- 2011
-
In: Building National Museums in Europe 1750–2010. - Linköping : Linköping University Electronic Press. - 9789173930703 ; , s. 521-552

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The construction of national museums in Lithuania can be analysed in relation to traditional conceptualizations of European nationalism which emphasize state building through the identification of an ethnic and cultural nation situated in a particular territory (Hroch 2000). Although state building is not entirely explained by theories of nationalism, this report will broadly rely on this theoretical framework. The history of Lithuanian national museums can be divided into the following stages, based on forms of national statehood, key museums and key political oppositions:I. The first public museums: Baublys local history museum (1812) and Vilnius Museum of Antiquities (1855-1863), were established by Lithuanian-Polish aristocrats who were interested in the political and archaeological history of Lithuania. Opposition to the Russian Empire.II. The first state museums (1918-1940): Vytautas the Great Military Museum and Ciurlionis Art Gallery were organized by groups of Lithuanian intellectuals and established as part of a ‘national pantheon’ in Kaunas. Opposition to Poland, which occupied Vilnius.III. The establishment of a centralized museums system (1940/1944-1990): state initiated museums were dedicated to Soviet propaganda in line with Marxism-Leninism, but groups of Lithuanian intellectuals built museums relying on the nineteenth-century template of an ethnic nation. Silent opposition to the communist regime, forgetting of the Holocaust.IV. The consolidation of national state museums system (1990-2010): Soviet centralized administrative system was both subverted and modified to emphasize the ethnic Lithuanian dimension of nation-building through history, archaeology and culture. Opposition to Western popular culture and other perceived negative aspects of globalization, but beginning to deal with the Holocaust and communist crimes.Stage I saw emphasis on the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (PLC), but also on the prehistory of Lithuania. In stage II, the Polish element of Lithuania’s history was represented as negative; hence there was little interest in aristocratic culture. History museums focused on the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL); a cult of grand dukes emerged alongside interest in Lithuanian folk culture. Jewish, Karaite and Belarusian learned societies organized ethnic museums too. During stage III, the political dimensions of ethnic nation-building were eliminated by the communist regime. However, the Lithuanian state was further constructed in museums through a history of the Middle Ages and folk culture. Aristocratic culture and the cultural heritage of the Lithuanian Jewish community did not get much space in Soviet museums, but were not completely eliminated either. The territorial focus was on the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic (LSSR); references to the GDL were carefully censored. In stage IV the political dimension of ethnicity was brought back into the museums. Jews and Karaites were represented in existing museums or acquired their own museums. The Polish dimension of Lithuania’s history remained contested. However, there emerged new museums, dedicated to the difficult parts of twentieth century history, such as the Holocaust and communist crimes.Note: A Full list of the abbreviations used can be found in an annexe of this report.

Post-Soviet transformation of Lithuanian state cultural policy: the meanings of democratisation
- 2012
-
In: International Journal of Cultural Policy. - 1477-2833. ; 18:5, s. 563-578
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents a general overview of the process of the democratisation of cultural policy in Lithuania by exploring explicit arguments about democratisation in debates and policy documents in Lithuania (1988–2011). At the early stage of transformation (1988–1992), democratisation was envisaged as the administrative decentralisation of political institutions, particularly the Ministry of Culture, and as the introduction of democratic principles, such as freedom of speech and cultural self-regulation. More substantial meanings of democratisation were articulated in debates about ethnic diversity and social equality. The study reveals tensions between the values of high culture and pop culture and the unitary notion of Lithuanian national ethnic culture and the cultures of national minorities. At a later stage, the salience of the ethnic dimension decreased when the democratisation of cultural policy was conceptualised in relation to the knowledge economy, which required revision of the early post-Soviet confrontation between culture and its economic use.

Soviet Lithuanians, Amber and the 'New Balts': Historical Narratives of National and Regional Identities in Lithuanian Museums, 1940-2009
- 2010
-
In: Culture Unbound. - Linköping : Linköping University Electronic Press. - 2000-1525. ; 2, s. 665-694
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the twentieth century Lithuania emerged from the crumbling Russian Empire as a post-colonial nationalising state. Its short-lived independence (1918–1940) fea-tured attempts to assemble the material foundations for an imagined community of Lithuanians, however in 1940 this nationalist project was disrupted by Soviet occupation. However, this article argues that regardless of the measures taken against political nationalism by the Soviets, the material work of assembling the Lithuanians as a historical and ethnic nation was not abandoned. The study analy-ses the ways in which Northern and Baltic categories were used to regionally situ-ate the ethnic identification of the Lithuanian population in Soviet and post-Soviet Lithuanian museums. The cases of the Historical-Ethnographic Museum and the Museum of Amber reveal that Northern and Baltic dimensions had to be recon-ciled with the Soviet version of the Lithuanian past. The resulting assemblage of Lithuania as a synchronic and diachronic community of inhabitants who defined themselves through shared Baltic ancestors and centuries-old uses of amber was transmitted to the post-Soviet museums. The most salient post-Soviet changes were, first, the rewriting of the relations between Lithuanians and the Nordic countries in positive terms and in this way reversing the Soviet narrative of Lithuania as a victim of aggression from the North. Second, the Soviet construc-tion of amber as a material mediator which enabled Lithuanians to connect with each other as a synchronic and diachronic imagined community was somewhat pushed aside in favour of the understanding of amber as a medium of social and cultural distinction for the ancient Balts and contemporary Lithuanian elites.

The Art (and Craft) of Meaning : Eastern Europe

In: Code Share. - Vilnius : Contemporary Arts Centre. - 9789986957430 ; , s. 66-77
-
Book chapter (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- In this computer age of ours, why not try and imagine a code that describes and models "Eastern Europe". Think of the code neatly typed in billions of lines and printed on crisp paper pages, bound in thick, heavy volumes solemnly lining the long shelves of the oval library in the British Museum. A matt glass roof permits grey English daylight to touch their leather backs softly. A cosy world of knowledge and order, safely contained, smoothly transmitted from one generation to another: can the writ ing of Eastern Europe ever be so comfortable? Probably not. Something is not quite right in this dream about an established, ordered and shared meaning of "Eastern Europe".

The Birth of the Soviet Anthropocene : Nikita Moiseev and theTransformation of SovietGovernmentality
- 2015
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Arguing the roots of the idea of Anthropocene can be traced back to the Soviet Union, the paper introduces hitherto unexplored but highly innovative Russian thinker, Nikita Moiseev. The director of the Computer Centre of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, Moiseev promoted mathematical modelling of the environmental processes, but also he was deeply interested in the use of scientific expertise for governmental processes. In this way, Moiseev belonged to the new type of a scientist, the one that was attached to both worlds scientific research and governance and situated at the centre of the powerful industrial-military complex. Just like the inventor of cybernetics, Norbert Wiener, Moiseev used his experience of modelling global environmental systems to rethink fundamental conceptual premises and techniques of the contemporary governance. This study examines key features of a new Soviet governmentality, outlined in Moiseev’s writings, in particular the ones connected with a famous US-Soviet forecast of nuclear winter. The paper argues that Moiseev’s ideas, explicated in such popular books as 'The Man and Biosphere' and 'Contemporary Rationalism', coalesced into a highly original philosophy of governance which in many ways resembled the later idea of the Anthropocene, formulated by Paul Crutzen (who was also part of Moiseev's networks). Drawing on Vernadskii, Moiseev conceptualised the co-evolution of the man and the biosphere, which was an astonishing way of thinking about governance and control completely outside of the iron cage of communist ideology. It is in Moiseev's thought, I argue, that the communist governance was overhauled and, importantly, this happened at the very heart of the power.

The international transfer of creative industries as a policy idea
- 2016
-
In: The International Journal of Cultural Policy. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1028-6632 .- 1477-2833. ; 22:4, s. 594-610
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article examines the transfer of creative industries as a policy idea to Lithuania. Tracing the stages of the transfer and analysing its consequences in the local cultural policy field, this paper argues for the importance of studying cultural policy process. The findings reveal that the process of the international transfer of creative industries mattered, because it generated wider transformations in cultural policy field by having ambiguous effects on local power relations. The policy idea of creative industries opened the cultural policy field to new actors. As a result, competition for scarce state funding increased, but cultural organisations gained access to the European Union structural funds. In all, creative industries as a policy idea significantly transformed Lithuanian state cultural policy, in that it led to a reassessment of both the practices and identities of cultural organisations.

Towards a Social History of the Purification of Governance : The Case of the IIASA
- 2010
-
In: Interdisciplines.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This paper discusses a history of the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), a particularly intriguing case of intertwining of techno-sciences and politics during the Cold War and detente periods. The case of IIASA, as my argument suggests, reveals complex processes of semiotic and institutional constructions of categories of “neutrality”, “the political”, “governance” and “techno-science”. IIASA embodied the ambition of techno-science to generate scientific knowledge about future, which would contribute to better governance of the planet and bridge political divides between capitalism and communism.
