Sinopse
Características

Post-Fordist state planners, developers, and their entrepreneurial service arm have debased the meaning of creativity to a shallow pretext for the further looting of cities and public wealth. The cookie-cutter aestheticisation of selective zones of our cities (tourist promenades, waterside public art, creative quarters), is a mere fig leaf covering the acts of enclosure and exclusion that cultural regeneration entails. As the sensibilities of the Creative Class are sensationalised, courted, and monetised, the creative possibilities of the dehumanised majority narrow. But as the recession bites, there are signs that dreams of the Creative City are crashing, as the public-purse strings tighten and the financial sectors ability to underwrite the creative industries weakens. In this issue we revel in that possibility, explore artists creative sabotage of their own regenerative co-optation, and philosophically examine what expression might actually be.Dériving Under the InfluenceChris Jones inspects the wounds opened by Laura Oldfield Fords pictures of regenerate LondonCG2014: Formulary For a Skewed UrbanismNeil Gray ambushes the cowboy capitalists staking out Glasgows urban frontierThe Creative City In RuinsArtists project by Nils NormanConcerning Art and Social ChangeBrian Holmes and Marco Deseriis on critical culture within recuperative semiocapitalismAll Mouth, No HistoryWilliam Dixon gets gobby with Christian Marazzi and his linguistic analysis of financialisationDebt: The First Five Thousand YearsDavid Graeber gives us the elevator pitch on debts violent historyHungry GhostSteve McQueens filmHunger whets Paul Helliwells appetite for some political contextA Climatic Disorder?John Cunningham clears the air after a meeting between Climate Campers and the NUMThe Simple Expression of Complex ThoughtM.
