Indices of creative economy: Critique of R. Florida’s creativity indices
This paper analyzes R. Florida's creativity indices as related to creative economy. The argument consists of six specific criticisms. 1. Counting the Gay Index is problematic because "gay" is a cultural, social and ethical category, not a physical one. 2. The Talent Index expresses something fundamentally contradictory to talent, namely, an orientation towards an average consumer's taste. As the Talent Index rises, the actual talent of a society …

Žemėlapis kaip bendrijos vaizdijimo veiksnys
Straipsnyje nagrinėjamas žemėlapis, kuris ne tik atspindi tam tikrą (pirmiausia socialinę) tikrovę, bet ir veikia tautinės bendrijos formavimąsi. Didžioji tezė, skleidžiama rašinyje, – žemėlapis, atspindėdamas socialinę tikrovę, yra bendrijos tikrovės kūrimo veiksnys. Be to, siekiama pagrįsti ir mažąsias tezes, kurios siejasi su didžiąja: valstybės žemėlapis – ne tik ir ne tiek geografijos objektas, kiek socialinis reiškinys, iškylantis formuojan…

Antikos mintis Lietuvoje: Toli ir arti
Straipsnyje apžvelgiama antikos minties recepcija Lietuvoje. Teigiama, kad antikos minties išmanymas gali būti tam tikros visuomenės apskritai ir konkrečios mokslo bendrijos brandos rodiklis. Tačiau šis išmanymas nereiškia nekūrybingos antikos idėjų kartotės, priešingai, autoriaus teigimu, antikos idėjų išmanymas (phronesis) sietinas su jų kūrybinga tąsa plėtojant naujas gyvenimo būdo (technē tou biou) koncepcijas.Tai atitinka tiek antikos technē…
Moteris utopinėje bendrijoje: Vaizdinės kultūros kritika

Butler teiginius kalbama apie moters kaip sankibos vaidmenį, kuris kultūrą daro maskaradišką. Moters vaidmenys siejami su garsijimo funkcija, suponuojančia naratyvo daugybinę kultūrą. Pasak autoriaus, moters vaidmenys užtikrina tiek egzistencinius individo perėjimus, tiek utopinės bendrijos poslinkius. Plėtojam…
Kūrybos ekonomikos antikinės ištakos
Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos kūrybos ekonomikos ištakos kreipiant ypatingą dėmesį į tokių sąvokų, kaip kūrybos ethos, oikos ir eko, antikines prasmes, kurios neatsiejamos nuo antikos gyvenimo būdo. Evoliucionavusių antikos sąvokų interpretacija praplečia kūrybos sampratą ir leidžia apibrėžti kūrybos ekonomikos turinį. Iškeliamos tezės: 1) kūrybos ekonomikos, kaip ir demokratinės laikysenos, ištakos glūdi antikiniamemąstyme, kuris susiklostė individui…

Filosofijos tekstai lituanistiniu aspektu
Straipsnyje nagrinėjami filosofijos tekstų lituanistiniai aspektai. Teigiama, kad kalba ir mąstymas – neatsiejami. Kiekvienas mąstytojas esąs ir vertėjas, įtraukiantis verstines sąvokas. Autoriaus manymu, vertiniai pagrindžiami tik vertimo kontekste. Kilus vertinių konfliktui, laimi ne tiksliausi, bet iškiliausių vertėjų siūlomi vertiniai. Pasak autoriaus, tikslus filosofijos tekstų vertimas ne tik neįmanomas dėl skirtingų tautų nevienodomatymo, …
Kūrybos ir kultūros industrijos: Filosofiniai, sociologiniai ir komunikaciniai aspektai
Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos kūrybos bei kultūros industrijų idėjos iš filosofinės, sociologinės bei komunikacinės perspektyvos, drauge kritikuojama pastarųjų mokslų orientacija į „grynąjį protą“ nesiremiant socialiniais fenomenais. Nors kūrybos ir kultūros industrijų idėjos gali būti filosofijos, sociologijos ir komunikacijos mokslų sąveikos kanalas, autorius pažymi, kad netgi giminingi kultūros industrijų ir kūrybos industrijų diskursai plėtojami k…
Antikos mintis postmodernioje Lietuvoje
Šis straipsnis – straipsnio „Antikos mintis Lietuvoje: toli ir arti“ (Kačerauskas 2011) tąsa. Autoriai nagrinėja antikos minties recepciją Lietuvos postmoderniame mąstyme. Teigiama, kad postmodernioji filosofija tiek pozityviai, tiek negatyviai remiasi Antikos mintimi. Viena, daugelio postmodernių idėjų ištakos glūdi Antikoje. Kita, postmodernybė dažnai remiasi Antikos minties hermeneutika, destrukcija ir dekonstrukcija. Vakarų kultūros ir mąstym…
Akademinės teritorijos ir jų ribos
Straipsnyje, remiantis ribų diskursu, komunikologijos prieigomis ir fenomenologijos nuostatomis, nagrinėjamos akademinės teritorijos ir jų ribos. Plėtojamos šios tezės: 1) akademininkas – dvigubas agentas, ne tik dirbdamas skirtingose institucijose, bet ir priklausydamas skirtingiems akademiniams lygmenims, mokslo idėjoms migruojant iš vienos akademinės teritorijos į kitą; 2) tik priklausydamas tam tikro mito bendrijai, kurios aplinkoje jis formu…
Kūrybos ekonomikos sektoriai: Kūrybinių industrijų sąrašų lyginamoji analizė
Straipsnyje iš medijų studijų perspektyvos nagrinėjamos kūrybinių industrijų sritys, lyginami jų skirtingi sąrašai. Pasak autoriaus, tai – dinamiškas kultūros sektorius, kuris keičiasi plėtojantis tiek medijoms, tiek ekonomikai, tiek technologijoms. Skirtingi kūrybinių industrijų sąrašai liudija, kad jų ribos – neaiškios, dažnai susiklojančios. Nors kūrybinės industrijos papildo ir maitina viena kitą, jų teritorijos veikiau yra priešiškos. Valsty…
Kūrybinė klasė: Ekonominiai, sociologiniai, filosofiniai aspektai
Straipsnyje nagrinėjama kūrybinė klasė. Kritikuojama R. Floridos samprata, pasak kurios, tai – visuomenės grupė, gaminanti ekonomines vertes savo kūrybine veikla. Anot straipsnio autoriaus, ne visi kūrybininkai įsitraukia į ekonominę veiklą ir ne visi kūrybos produktai dalyvauja ekonominėje apyvartoje. Demokratija kaip daugumos valdžia pati savaime nesuponuoja nei kūrybos visuomenės, nei jos kūrybinės raidos, o medijuota visuomenė netgi stabdo kū…
Kūrybinis miestas: Mitai ir utopijos
Straipsnyje nagrinėjami kūrybinio miesto samprata, mitai ir utopijos. Teigiama, kad miestas yra neerdvus ir netalpus jo gyventojams, ypač kūrybininkams. Tarp menininko ir miesto egzistuoja traukos ir atostūmio santykiai: tiek iškilus menininkas šliejasi prie miesto ir bėga nuo jo, tiek atitinkamai ir miestas. Menininką ir traukia kūrybininkų bei menų santalka mieste, ir atstumia savo šurmuliu, trukdančiu kurti ir primetančiu kūrybos schemas. Pana…
