Culture and Critique: Notes on a Polysemic Relationship

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

In her work on cultural critique, Rosemarie Buikema conceptualises
culture as a terrain for the elaboration and contestation of collective memory, a
form that mediates social formations, and a practice that critically supplements
the political. Taking the polysemic relationship between culture and critique
as our starting point, we bring Buikema’s reflections to bear on our own work
on post-Yugoslav visual art, feminist graphic narratives, and digital media. We
pay special attention to the question of “medium specificity”, which is central to
Buikema’s conceptual intervention. Our goal is to illustrate the expansive reach
of this intervention across multiple fields of inquiry.
