problem property a problem hodnoty

(political theory)

1. Michael Hardt – Politics of the Common (2009)
michael hardt gives very good summary of current debates
about the commons. he explains the immaterial property
and the common got into centre of contemporary production
shifting away from industrial capitalist mobile/immobile
commodity properties. he says that today the capital
and economic development paradoxically relies on the common,
and that the central task for contemporary society is
to develop an alternative management of the common.
by the common he means the ecological (earth, ecosystems,
and all forms of life interacting with them) and social/cultural
(shared products of human labor–ideas, images, affects,
social relationships) domains. that is not much news,
but what is interesting – these two domains are often treated
separately, and here hardt mentions two major instances
of contradictions which link them:
contradiction between private property and the common;
and the fact that the value of common is immeasurable with
the traditional capitalist system of measures (and is rather
based on value of life, which we have not yet invented).
/ o ‘the common’ hovori ako o ekologickych (lesy, plaze,
vzduch, jazera) a nematerialnych socialnych/kulturnych
statkoch (videa, texty, fotky, idey, pocity, socialne vztahy,
zabava, nove formy zivota), ku ktorym maju (mat) vsetci
volny pristup. hovori o dvoch hlavnych rozporoch
s ohladom na klasicky system – konkretne nemoznost
urcit ich (ekonomicku) hodnotu, a problem vlastnickeho
vztahu k nim.

2. Slavoj Zizek – Ecology: A New Opium of the Masses
tu zizek vychadza z idei commons ako ju chapu hardt a negri,
a jemne ju rozsiruje: commons ako kultura, externa
priroda (ekologia), a interna priroda (biogenetika).
tvrdi, ze je do commons zasadne zapojit aj mensiny,
populaciu vylucenu z politickych procesov.

3. Lawrence Lessig – Remix: Making Art and Commerce
Thrive in the Hybrid Economy (2008)
to je jeho nova kniha, hovori tam o tom, ako mozu
ist dokopy ekonomika ‘komercie’ (klasicky online biznis)
a ‘zdielania’ (v ktorej nefigujuru peniaze–napr. priatelstvo
alebo P2P filesharing). odtial by bolo dobre vytiahnut
nejaku cast, ale najst nejaky sumarizujuci text, pripadne
jeho kritiku.

4. Mikael Pawlo – What’s the meaning of “non-commercial”? (2004)
pawlo je sef svedskych iCommons a kritizuje tu fakt, ze drviva
vacsina materialov pod CC pouziva klauzulku ‘non-commercial’.
pyta sa co to znamena — a dava vela prikladov, kde sa to
co je commercial a co non-commercial neda urcit – napriklad:
verejna televizia, verejne skoly, reklamy na neziskovky,
rss-feedy embednute vo weboch na ktorych je reklama –
to su priklady, v ktorych nie je mozne urcit ci mozeme
pouzit CC videa ktore su sirene pod noncommercial licenciou.

5. Richard Stallmann
Stallmann v Lessigovej knihe hovori, ze free software
nie je altruizmus, ze tie veci programatori nerobia
lebo maju dobre srdce, ale spravidla maju pragmaticke
dovody. musi k tomu byt nejaky dobry clanok.

(philosophy)

6. Bernard Stiegler – transindividuation
to je francuzsky filozof, ktory sedel 7 rokov v base
za kradez v banke, a napisal tam niekolko zvazkov, ktore
prepisuju filozofiu z pohladu techniky/technologii.
bol nejaky cas sefom IRCAM, potom aj Centre Pompidou.
v poslednom case ho celkom hypuju. uz dlhsie kritizuje
web 2.0 sluzby a hovori o procese “transindividuacie”,
kedy svoj esteticky vkus menia uzivatelia medzi sebou
tym, ze zdielaju online material. nadvazuje na zabudnuteho
filozofa Simondona, ktory s tym terminom prisiel snad
este v 50-tych rokoch.
k tomu mam zatial len toto kratke video:

ktora prehliada privatizovanie verejnych statkov (vody, potravin, pody)
korporaciami prostrednictvom patentov [biopiratstvo],
najma v krajinach “mega diverzity” (mexiku, indii, brazili, indonezii).
/ Hardt: I object to calling this piracy, by the way, because pirates
at least have the dignity to steal property. These corporations steal
the common and transform it into private property.

Hardt (2009) – Politics of the Common

, , , , , delicious, notepad 17 (5/09-), webonline – July 22, 2009 § 0

A central task for reimagining society today is to develop an alternative management of the common wealth we share.

two distinct but related domains of the common:
– ECO ecological (natural) common [but this category is insufficient] – earth and all of its ecosystems, including the atmosphere, the oceans and rivers, and the forests, as well as all the forms of life that interact with them.
– ART social and economic (artificial) common [but this category is insufficient] – products of human labor and creativity that we share, such as ideas, knowledges, images, codes, affects, social relationships, and the like.

ECO & ART:
common in both domains confounds the traditional measures of economic value and imposes instead the value of life as the only valid scale of evaluation.

contradictions (ale ukazuju sa ako complementaries):
ECO – pro conservation, since earth is limited, logic of scarcity; ART – pro creation, open/limitless nature of production of common; ALE: both perspectives refer fundamentally to production/reproduction of forms of life, which are happening simultaneously (since eg. work-time vs non-work time collapsed)
ART – interests of humanity as central (ie. extend our politics to all humanity, overcome hierarchies/exclusions of class and property, gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity..); ECO – interests much broader than human/animal worlds; ALE: navzajom sa mozu ucit eko-aktivisti a humanrights-aktivisti

The claim for centrality of the common relies on the hypothesis that we are in the midst of an epochal shift from a capitalist economy centered on industrial production to one centered on what can be called immaterial or biopolitical production. Toni Negri and I have argued this hypothesis over the course of three books — Empire, Multitude, and Commonwealth.
– {industrial capitalism THEN} Industrial production has been central, rather, in the sense that the qualities of industry — its forms of mechanization, its working day, its wage relations, its regimes of time discipline and precision, and so forth — have progressively been imposed over other sectors of production and social life as a whole, creating not only an industrial economy but also an industrial society.
– {industrial capitalism IS OVER} industry no longer marks the hierarchical position in the various divisions of labor and, more significantly, that the qualities of industry are no longer being imposed over other sectors and society as a whole.
– {immaterial/biopolitical production NOW} (central position of industry is taken over by) production of immaterial goods or goods with a significant immaterial component, such as ideas, knowledges, languages, images, code, and affects (health care workers and educators, fast food workers, call center workers, and flight attendants). The cognitive and affective tools of immaterial production, the precarious, non-guaranteed nature of its wage relations, the temporality of immaterial production (which tends to destroy the structures of the working day and blur the traditional divisions between work-time and nonwork-time), as well as its other qualities are becoming generalized.
+ property: immobile (eg. land) => mobile (eg. commodities) => immaterial (discussions about patents/copyrights; question of exclusivity and reproductibility)

2 contradictions, 2 shared logics form significant basis for understanding guises of common & struggle to preserve/further them; foundation for linking forms of political activism aimed at the autonomy and democratic management of the common:

I. contradiction between private property and the common.
ART: bwn need for common in interest of productivity and need for private in interest of capitalist accumulation
ECO: bwn private nature of accumulation and social nature of resulting damages

II. the common defies traditional capitalist measures of value (or obey radically different scale based on value of life, which we have not yet invented)
ART: value of biopolitical/immaterial goods is immeasurable using traditional system of measure of econ.value; economists cast them as “externalities”, accountants as “intangible assets” (of esoteric value), (global bankrupt largely derives from this)
ECO: value of the common is immeasurable (eg. how much $ is damage costs of having half of Bangladesh under water? or permanent draught in Ethiopia? or destruction of trad. Inuit forms of life?)

watch out (when struggle for the common operate according to opposing logics in ECO and ART):
III. preserve ECO vs limitless prod ART
IV. humanity as frame of reference @ART vs broader @ECO

next: UN Climate Conference, Copenhagen, Dec 2009

next: the common @identity and identity politics; the common @social institutions (family, nation, ..)

Bishop’s participative art: Sierra & Hirschhorn

, , , , only@not, webonline – July 21, 2009 § 0

Santiago Sierra, MX

– paid drug-addicted Brazil prostitutes to have their backs tattooed by a straight horizontal line for a drug of their choice.
– hired 200 immigrants of African, Asian and eastern European origin, all of whom had dark hair, for an ‘action’ in which their hair was bleached.
– hired a group of unemployed men to push concrete blocks from one end of a gallery to the other.
– In an exhibition at P.S.1, New York, Person Remunerated for a Period of 360 Consecutive Hours Sierra hired a person to live behind a brick wall 24 hours a day for 15 days (September 17 – October 1, 2000) without having any further instructions or duties. P.S.1 staff slid food under a narrow opening at the base of the wall. The individual behind the wall was generally invisible to the audience but was allowed to relate to the other side through the small opening in the wall.

– In South Korea, he paid sixty-eight people twice that nation’s minimum wage to block the main entrance to the inauguration of Pusan’s International Contemporary Art Festival.
– On the occasion of the 2003 Venice Biennale he built a wall blocking off the entrance to the Spanish Pavilion. Visitors needed a Spanish passport to gain entry to the building, through the back door. But even then the visitor was confronted with an empty gallery.
– on the occasion of an exhibition by Sierra to mark the opening of a £500,000 extension to the Lisson Gallery, London, he barred the entrance to the gallery with a sheet of corrugated steel. Sierra comments on the considerable frustration of the invited London glitterati who turned up for the opening: ‘It was as though they were saying: “Just get me inside and give me a drink. That’s what I’ve come for”
– During the economic crisis in Argentina (1999–2002) the banks closed and protected their facades with corrugated steel. People demonstrated using a form of protest known as cacerolazo which consisted of banging pots and pans against the corrugated metal. In 2002 Sierra taped these sounds and sent CDs of the recording out to galleries in London, New York, Vienna, Frankfurt and Geneva (Jeffries 2002). The CD sleeve instructed the owner to put speakers in the window and turn the stereo up full volume during certain specified local times.

Thomas Hirschhorn, CH, 11 ben X
Bataille Monument, 2002, Documenta, Kassel
– He chose as his location the Friedrich-Wöhler Siedlung, a mixed Turkish-German social housing complex in a low socio-economic suburb of Kassel.
– ‘one thing has always been clear for me: I am an artist and not a social worker.’
– he assembled a team of people living in the Friedrich-Wöhler Siedlung who were willing to work on the monument for the eight euros an hour he paid them.
– to oversee the construction Hirschhorn moved into an apartment in the Siedlung
– He even convinced the people working for him to return his belongings when some of them broke into his apartment and stole his laptop, video, hi-fi and camera equipment.
– Like many artists of the 1990s and 2000s Hirschhorn acts as an entrepreneur, which is to say a boss, albeit a more or less enlightened boss

Holden (2009) – home-made culture

, , , only@not, web – July 20, 2009 § 0

4 scenarios w/ art+culture after crisis:
– consolation – mast na rany, podobne ako hollywood pocas great depression, feel-good filmy a hudba, people find solace in the social nature of arts events; to je ok, ale nezabudajte na minority, new art a innovation
– anger – a la punk v 70s
– business-as-usual, aj ludia v art/kult chcu spat bohate roky
– get real –
— talk to people, art have to find a new source of funds from millions of small donations (like obama)
— prepare for cuts – do more with less
— get much smarter at marketing
— free events/experiences, livestreaming
— don’t let mainstream media cut the arts programming
— use networks, involve people

now: art from periphery to heart of remaking society; because art isnt about leisure but about life

before: high culture (classical art forms) vs popular culture (cooking, watching tv, dancing, playing football)
now 3 interdependent spheres: publicly-funded culture (“what gets funded becomes culture”), commercial culture (gatekept by big companies similarly like pub-funded by state admins), home-made culture

“In this new model the arts are integrated into a wider cultural ecology so they become reconnected to everyday life”.
kulture sa konecne uzna zasadny podiel vo vzdelavani, ekonomike ci zahr.vztahoch.
Leadbeater: people want to enjoy, talk or do = passively sit and watch, socialise, and be creative.
20 yrs ago ‘do’ part was limited to few people. ‘talk’ part bola tiez dost obmedzena – divaci boli pasivni.
marginal [pub] + entertaing [comm] + amateur [home] = potent democratic expression.
Shoshana Zuboff: “there is a new kind of public out there, being made up of ‘new individuals who seek true voice, direct participation, unmediated influence and identity-based community because they are comfortable using their own experience as the basis for making judgements”.

Chantal Mouffe:
How do you define democracy if not as consensus?
I use the concept of agonistic pluralism to present a new way to think
about democracy which is different from the traditional liberal conception
of democracy as a negotiation among interests and is also different to the
model which is currently being developed by people like Jurgen Habermas
and John Rawls. While they have many differences, Rawls and Habermas have
in common the idea that the aim of the democratic society is the creation
of a consensus, and that consensus is possible if people are only able to
leave aside their particular interests and think as rational beings.
However, while we desire an end to conflict, if we want people to be free
we must always allow for the possibility that conflict may appear and to
provide an arena where differences can be confronted. The democratic
process should supply that arena.

    • D
      one thing that is clear is that she’s biased – celebrating
      the walls of the white cube beginning in london and ending in nyc.

      • G
        the more problematic thing is that she not only a payed chique art
        chick, but that she never discloses an aesthetical point of view, on
        the contrary she shrouds it in vagueness, remember in our historic
        heroic car discussion the issue was for me how to change evaluation of
        art itself through a redefinition based on a different practice, which
        means not the speculative rhetoric she is throwing around but some
        very concrete issues and somehow up to the mark presence of current
        ‘creative’ (yes in marx-engels sense if you want) practices

      but there is a common ground.

      • G
        no because here is exactly when she is jumping out: she looks at art
        as a very disciplinary and reductionalist thing (isolating even visual
        arts) in the end, and her ‘subjectivity’ is still the 20th century
        postmodern commodity object

      she mentioned marx+engels’ critique of alienation, which when
      abandoned/overcame, gives way to a fully realised subjectivity
      accessible to all.

      i did not read marx’s takes on art, but this is what krylov
      has to say about it:
      “Labour freed from exploitation becomes, under socialism, the
      source of all spiritual (and aesthetic) creativity. Marx and
      Engels point out that only given true economic, political,
      and spiritual freedom can man’s creative powers develop to
      the full and that only proletarian revolution offers unbounded
      opportunities of endless progress in the development of literature.”
      http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/subject/art/preface.htm

      so then art is seen as the basic creativity everyone has access
      to if freed from exploitation. (maybe you mean with ‘autonomy
      of subjectivity’ the similar thing)

      • G
        think so (but it will always be a point of discussion what t really
        is, luckily)

      still, it’s too rough to link art and creativity in such
      a narrow way.

      • G
        ou mean from her side? yes… (she needs it)
        and from our side: we don’t give a shit! (we don’t need that bullshit)

    the idea of progressive urban development being directly dependent
    on the presence of what he calls the creative class (gays,
    immigrants, people of color, cultural workers), when not necessarily
    artists, but “skilled people are key to urban success”.
    he literally sells this to city governments around the world
    and they do buy it. so in my view the cultural industries
    and (however liberating and homeopatic) imperative for creativity
    (eg. “everybody’s artist”) are intrinsically linked.
    so still, my question here is: isn’t this also a too narrow
    reasoning?

    they say there is a liberating potential in being creative
    and more and more people (not all the people, because that
    would mean giving up the neoliberal ideals) should access
    their creativity. although they don’t mention working conditions
    and what marx+engels called alienation and exploitation at all.
    they assume self-employment and entrepreneurship, in other words,
    they integrate creativity into good old market conditions.
    >> G
    >> yes and that is my point that in netherlands self-employment by
    >> artists is valued by government within neoliberal progress not

    then i guess, if we say that the socially engaged and
    participative art is actually affirmative to the cultural industry
    and its assumptions and implications, then it makes pretty
    much sense not only to critique the neoliberal hegemony by working

    but there is an impact of neoliberal culture consultants on the

    “In the West today, if there are no democratic channels through which a
    confrontation of values and interests can take place, it is going to lead
    either to apathy so people won’t be involved in politics any more, or even
    worse, there are going to be mobilisations of those struggles which are
    not compatible with democracy such as apartheid, religious fundamentalism
    and fascism. Take France and the growth of the extreme right under Le Pen:
    it is precisely at the moment when the socialists have moved toward the
    centre and acquiesced to the arguments of the democratic right that the
