The Catholic church is promoting old creationism in the new guise of intelligent design;
cultural entrepreneurs are invoked with the creative industries; the hypes of the creative class and the high-flying rise of the digital Boheme are consolidating into a renaissance of the creative. Yet at the same time, very different functions are attributed to the concept of creativity. In the tradition of the aesthetics of genius it continues to serve the distinction of truly creative actors, who are capable of generating and asserting innovations. In cognitive capitalism, however, there are also powerful populist impulses at work, in which the revolutionary cultural-political demands for culture from all or the Beuysian dictum of everyone is an artist are perverted in a logic of the total creative imperative. The current edition of the web journal transversal, which queries the hypes of creativity at a theoretical level, is
accompanied by an edition in the cultural political discourse section on eipcp.net, which focuses especially on the Creative Industries and their critique based on a series of case studies. creativity hypes http://transform.eipcp.net/transversal/0207 Brigitta Kuster / Vassilis Tsianos: Experiences Without Me or the Uncanny Grin of Precarity Maurizio Lazzarato: The Misfortunes of the Artistic Critique and of Cultural Employment Esther Leslie: Add Value to Contents: the Valorisation of Culture Today Angela McRobbie: The Los Angelisation of London Stefan Nowotny: Immanent Effects.
