  • Framing Contests Between Dutch Activists and Local News Media: The Eurodusnie Anarchist Group, Leiden, 1997–2002

    Open AccessBart van der Steen, Peter Burger et al.ARTICLETMG Journal for Media History2021

    In order to gain a better understanding of the dynamics between activists and mainstream media, this paper analyses the ways in which the Dutch, Leiden-based anarchist collective Eurodusnie (1997–2002) responded to negative publicity. While many have described the relationship between social movements and the mass media as asymmetric, assigning a dominant role to mass media, our paper emphasises the agency of a local social movement and the strat…

  • The Impact of Agglomeration Economies on Employment Growth in the Creative Industries in Slovakia

    Open AccessSlávka Klasová, Iveta Korobaničová et al.ARTICLEPolitická ekonomie2017References: 20

    The paper explores the impact of agglomeration economies on employment growth in the creative industries in Slovakia between 1998 and 2014. Using a spatial econometric model it has been confirmed that related variety plays a significant role in employment growth in creative industries, while significance of unrelated variety has not been confirmed. In other words, the districts specialising in different, but at the same time cognitively and techn…

  • Mediatization and the Language of Journalism

    Tom Van Hout, Peter Burger et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of Language and…2016Cited by: 6References: 38

    At the intersection of applied linguistics and journalism studies lies media linguistics.This emerging subdisciplinary label is an umbrella term for the study of mass mediated language use, which, for the purposes of this chapter, is restricted to news media: public or private institutions of mass communication that produce and spread public information commoditized as news.Two issues stand out in the literature on media linguistics (and beyond).…

  • Avant-Garde and Neo-Avant-Garde: An Attempt to Answer Certain Critics of Theory of the Avant-Garde

    Peter Burger, J P BurgerARTICLENew Literary History2010Cited by: 3

    Peter Bürger reflects on the reception of his Theory of the Avant-Garde and crafts a spirited response to his critics, while expanding on and refining his original claims. For Bürger, what continues to distinguish the avant-garde are two interrelated principles: the attack on the institution of art and the revolutionary transformation of everyday life. Underscoring the explicitly theoretical, rather than merely historical, thrust of this definiti…

  • Fin de l'avant-garde

    Open AccessPeter Burger, J P BurgerARTICLEÉtudes littéraires2005

    Le terme " avant-garde " recouvre habituellement deux orientations tout à fait différentes : l'avant-garde proprement dite, qui désigne les mouvements conjoignant assaut contre l'autonomie de l'art et projet de changement social révolutionnaire, et la modernité, qui, selon Adorno, a pour centre l'œuvre d'art autonome et insiste sur la pureté esthétique. Or, il semble aujourd'hui que la définition exigeante d'Adorno ne puisse plus s'appliquer à un…

  • Marginalien zu Benjamins Einbahnstraße

    Peter Burger, J P BurgerARTICLEZeitschrift für kritische Theorie…2003

    Peter Bürger liest Benjamins Einbahnstraße mit den Erfahrungen eines kritischen Kulturtheoretikers von heute, der Phänomene seit 1989 beobachtet. Waren menschliche Beziehungen nach Benjamins Zeitdiagnose durch Geld und den Druck der Verhältnisse kolonisiert, so findet heute eine Selbstblockierung statt: Der Ahnung zum Trotz, dass wichtige soziale Systeme verändert werden müssten, fehlt eine zielgerichtete gesellschaftliche Diskussion und politisc…

  • Aporias of Modern Aesthetics

    Peter Burger, J P BurgerARTICLENew left review1990

    A garden gnome is no longer a garden gnome. This is the dilemma facing contemporary art, that is circumscribed by the unhappy concept of post-modernity. Up until a certain moment (let us take 1969, the year of Adorno’s death, as a marker) a garden gnome was still a

  • Passe Simple: The Essay as Autobiographical Form in Jean-Paul Sartre

    Peter BurgerARTICLEModern Language Notes1987

    Sartre is known for his political engagement; whether he was of the great writers of our century has not yet been decided. It would be inappropriate make this decision on the basis of his dramatic and epic ouevre alone, since that work obviously serves for the most part as an illustration of his philosophy. Yet his essayistic work deserves be acknowledged as literary. The claim that Sartre was of our century's great essayists makes sense only if …

    Peter Burger, J P Burger et al.ARTICLECultural Critique1985Cited by: 1

    AT7W hereas Adorno and, in a different way, Lukacs devoted themselves to interpretation of historical content of individual works, an empirical sociology of literature has attempted to investigate effect works of art have. Adorno had reservations about a sociology of art primarily concerned with empirically determinable effect of works of art because the effect of works of art and of intellectual con
