Anonymous writes "There's a wide-ranging interview with Siva Vaidhyanathan at Eyeteeth:
Both democracy and creative culture share this notion that they work best when the raw materials are cheap and easy and easily distributed. You can look at any cultural development that's made a difference in the world-reggae, blues, crocheting-you can look at any of these and say, y'know, it's really about communities sharing. It's about communities moving ideas between and among people, revision, theme and variation, and ultimately a sort of consensus about what is good and what should stay around.

"Culture is anarchistic. Culture builds itself without leaders. Culture proliferates itself through consensus and revision. Culture works best when there is minimal authority and guidance."
Counterpoint: "Culture is a elitist. Culture builds on strong leadership. Culture proliferates through original works of genius. Culture works best when we all stand on our heads and spit nickels."
He's talking, but what is he talking about?
Culture is this. [dictionary.reference.com]
I don't disagree with where he comes out, but I can't agree with how he gets there. |
