The essay by Boltanski and Chiapello, first published in"Berliner Journal fÃ1⁄4r Soziologie", 4(2002), summarizes the main theses of their investigation"Le nouvel esprit du capitalisme", Paris 1999.
At the same time, the rise of“le patrimoine” has produced a newprofession of cognitive engineers of cultural tourism, or as Boltanski and Esquerre describe them with a tinge of derision,“attracteurs” who create new tourist attractions.
Boltanski wants to arouse memory, to recall life that wasextinguished, that has vanished: the children murdered in theHolocaust, the inhabitants of a small village in Switzerland, or theworkers in a carpet factory in Halifax.
A collection of essays A Joy Forerver: Political Economy ofSocial Creativity, that he co-edited, including articles by Luc Boltanski, Massimiliano Tomba, Isabelle Graw and Gigi Roggero, is going to appear with MayFly Books(London) later this year.
Boltanski is today the most famous french artist worldwide, having repeatedly participated in Documenta and honoured by numerous prizes and awards. He holds, among others, the Goslar Kaiser Ring and the Japanese Praemium Imperiale- the„Nobel Prize“ of culture.
In a work offering insights into his treatment of various theoretical currents, Toni Negri noted that he encountered the slogan"From Critical Sociology to a Critique ofCritique" as early as 1987 in a work by Luc Boltanski and Laurent Thévenot.
Although this was also debated following Luc Boltanski and Ève Chiapello's book"The New Spirit of Capitalism" and also widely discussed in Postoperaism, unfortunately this debate was not taken up again at the symposium.
The idea that a critique of creativity has to do with a critique and critical capacity inherent to creativity itself also seems to be a principle point of departurein the recently much discussed study The New Spirit of Capitalism by Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello.
For his seminal workLa traversée de la vie(2015), Boltanski used the same photographs as he had in 1971 for Album des photos de la Famille D.-the images were enlarged and printed on fabric and illuminated by hangings lightbulbs.
Takeovers on the part of economic production and management models have disrupted the exclusive claim to creativity formulated by art in processes of appropriation, which have also integrated autonomy, authenticity and liberation in new enterprise strategies,as Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello have demonstrated.
Isn't the often berated“artist critique”-a discourse Luc Boltanski and Ève Chiapello deem responsible for network capitalism-not also a politically and socially productive force, one that is capable of bringing about concrete change,?
My research project is based on the following observations and theses, which are connected with each other and can be shown on objects from the performing arts: Immersion is part of a new apparatus ofproduction that has developed since the 1950s cf. Boltanski& Chiapello 2003; Buchmann 2007; Hardt& Negri 2002; Preciado 2016; Tiqqun 2007; Virno 2005.
In such instances, and notwithstanding Boltanski and Chiapello's loophole of being authentic by signaling one's inauthenticity, any contrapuntal relationship with hegemonic culture is nonetheless in deep dialogue with such culture, setting the groundwork for other protocols.
The artists' approach to these topics displays a broad spectrum of techniques and media ranging from drawing to painting, photography and film to objects and space-filling installations by Bernd& Hilla Becher| Joseph Beuys|Christian Boltanski| Franz Gertsch| Jenny Holzer| William Kentridge| Robert Longo| Mario Merz| Nam June Paik| Richard Serra| Cindy Sherman| Katharina Sieverding und Cy Twombly.
My conclusion:with works by internationally respected artists such as Christian Boltanski(France), Nara Yoshitomo(Japan), Won Seoung Won(Korea), Fiona Tan(Indonesia), and Rineke Dijkstra(Netherlands), and featuring high levels of artistic quality, the exhibition hardly benefits by being marketed under a title that awakens expectations it cannot fulfill.
To be sure Boltanski and Chiapello never use this vocabulary but their analysis is a clear example of what Gramsci called'hegemony through neutralization' or'passive revolution' to refer to a situation where demands which challenge the hegemonic order are recuperated by the existing system by satisfying them in a way that neutralizes their subversive potential.
This recalls utilitarian philosophers who postulated an unbiased external observer,but also John Rawls, when Boltanski is arguing that exercising critique means detaching oneself from the action and assuming an external standpoint, from which the action can be observed from a different perspective.
Boltanski does not relate the term“critical sociology” to Bourdieu's late phase, to the period that included political interventions such as La misère du monde, appearances on television directed against the cultural industry or the speeches and essays directed against neoliberalism and American imperialism, against media and zeitgeist intellectuals, which made Bourdieu the“last Sartrean intellectual” of France.
Based on a comparative analysis of the contents of a corpus of management literature from the 1960s and1990s, Boltanski and Chiapello develop how especially artist critique contributed to a change in the justification regime of capitalism and to a mutation of capitalism assessed as successful.
In the subsequent works on this study in more detail, such as in a text by Boltanski on the left after May 1968 in 2002, even the departure from the social class, announced in the early 1990s in De la justification, which occurred with the rejection of other typical categories and social positions of both critical and conventional sociology, was rescinded.
This view also corresponds with the widespread proposition made by theorists such as Fredric Jameson,Luc Boltanski, and Eve Chiapello that some forms of work possess a significant catalyzing function for capitalist dynamics- particularly those that in the name of commodity, alienation, and reification critique are committed to the non-perfect, processual, and temporary as well as project-related quality of artistic activity.
