Creativity
"Creativity was once seen as the mark of mad geniuses, troubled souls, and avant-garde eccentrics, Today, however, we expect to find the trait thriving in and around us. In Creativity, Jan Løhmann Stephensen provides a historical and contemporary view of creativity and explains why it is not always the answer to every probolem. From van Gogh to Springsteen, Løhmann Stephensen explores the creative process of artists to craft a new theory of creativity, one rooted in collectivism and fluidity."--Back cover
The Democratic Public Sphere
Even in well-established democratic societies, the political system currently faces a crisis of civic engagement and participation. Increasingly, this lack of engagement and the accompanying erosion of institutional legitimacy result in antidemocratic, populist currents gaining ground. It is an important challenge for both the humanities and the social sciences to analyse this crisis and discuss possible answers that may contribute to strengthening the position of the democratic public sphere in the political process, thus emphasising the crucial role of civic engagement and participation in renewing democracy. The articles in this volume seek the sources for such democratic innovations in a...
Aesthetics and Political Culture in Modern Society
Do aesthetic appeals to senses and emotions in political debate necessarily marginalise political reason and reduce citizens to consumers – thus dangerously undermining democracy? Or is sensuous-emotional engagement, on the contrary, a basic fact of the political process and a crucial precondition for revitalising democracy? Aesthetics and Political Culture in Modern Society investigates the current interrelationship between aesthetic practice and political practice in Western democracies, focusing on its impact on democratic political culture. Henrik Kaare Nielsen argues that aesthetic interventions in the political process do not by definition undermine politics’ content of reason. Instead, a differentiation must be made between a multiplicity of aesthetic forms of intervention – some of which tend to weaken the political judgement of citizens while other forms tend to stimulate competent judgement. This book will be of interest to scholars in the fields of political science, sociology, media studies, and cultural studies.
Kreativitet
Engang var kreativitet forbeholdt gale genier, plagede ånder og anarkistiske grænsegængere. I dag skal vi alle være kreative, og vi forventer en blomstrende kreativitet hos os selv og hinanden. For kreativitet er nu løsningen på både stort og småt. Men hvis vi alle sammen forlader os på den samme idé, er ingen af os vel specielt kreative? Det skulle da lige være Jan Løhmann Stephensen, Aarhus Universitets mest kreative sjæl. Han kan rent faktisk tænke et par selvstændige tanker om, hvorfor kreativitet ikke nødvendigvis er svaret på alting.
Nomader
At rejse er at leve, siger vi med hus og hjem. Men nomader rejser for at overleve. De bærer vores drømme om grænseløs frihed på strejftog med ørkenens skibe. Med køer, får og geder i flok er det dog ikke et driverliv at gå efter græsset, fortæller Hanne Kirstine Adriansen, bevægelig kulturgeograf ved Aarhus Universitet. For samer, fulani og tuareger må sætte dyrene før familien og det lange ben foran, når der er regnskyl i horisonten, og hver en dråbe falder på et tørt sted. Med et indre kompas og i forfædrenes fodspor farer de frem, men aldrig vild. For hjem er, hvor hjertet er.
Creating Chaos Online
With the prevalence of disinformation geared to instill doubt rather than clarity, Creating Chaos Online unmasks disinformation when it attempts to pass as deliberation in the public sphere and distorts the democratic processes. Asta Zelenkauskaitė finds that repeated tropes justifying Russian trolling were found to circulate across not only all analyzed media platforms’ comments but also across two analyzed sociopolitical contexts suggesting the orchestrated efforts behind messaging. Through a dystopian vision of publics that are expected to navigate in the sea of uncertain both authentic and orchestrated content, pushed by human and nonhuman actors, Creating Chaos Online offers a concept of post-publics. The idea of post-publics is reflected within the continuum of treatment of public, counter public, and anti-public. This book argues that affect-instilled arguments used in public deliberation in times of uncertainty, along with whataboutism constitute a playbook for chaos online.
