Description
Martha Rosler's Culture Class explores the economic and historical roots of today's soft ideology of creativity. She examines how class distinctions are redefined in the creative city, where subcultural movements are incorporated into mainstream culture and artists become pioneers of gentrification. The result is a new urban paradigm where power operates through subtle mechanisms, often masking its own logic. Rosler seeks to locate this power and make it accountable to something other than its own interests. This collection of essays offers a critical perspective on the functioning of power in contemporary society. Through her analysis, Rosler sheds light on the complex relationships between creativity, class, and urban development, providing a nuanced understanding of the social sphere that has emerged in recent years.
