ES KI ir komunikacinio veiksmo Lietuvoje kritika ; EU CI and critique of communicative reason in Lithuania

Abstract

The aim of the article is to critically analyze communication of public sector of Creative industries (CI) and Cultural and Creative Sector (CCS) in Lithuania. The main attention is paid to explanation of important concepts of EU documents from the point of view of Critical discourse analysis and Critical hermeneutics: making of affects, an economy of experience, creative disruption, multiplicity of memories . The article considers the Green Book and The Impact of Culture on Creativity and other EU and Lithuanian documents, their ideas and relationships with power, economy and creativity in a perspective of communicative reason. The object of critique is analysis of the case of Fluxus ministry (NGO in Kaunas) and growth of tendencies of meritocracy. I interpret Critical discourse analysis and Critical hermeneutics in a way they were developed in the Critical theory and in the works of Jurgen Habermas devoted to analysis of communicative action and communicative reason. My interpretation of the role of dialogue and some concepts of poststructuralism where I support theories of M. Bakchtin's tradition differs from Habermas interpretation. Contemporary Critical theory includes not only former Cultural philosophy, but also elements of critique of Cultual industries (tradition of M. Horkheimer and T. Adorno), British Cultural studies and political economy devoted to the questions of CI. Besides, for interpretation of EU documents I use a number of concepts related to the poststructuralism: direct self-government, deliberative democracy, critics of nomenclature and meritocracy, self-spectaclization and creation of open society for diversities.
