CFP: CONCEPTUAL WRITING (PLURAL AND GLOBAL) AND OTHER CULTURAL PRODUCTIONS.
This is a Call for Writing: Conceptual Writing (plural and global)
and Other Cultural Productions (500 to 800 words) for Jacket 2.
A couple of weeks ago, many responses to Katie L. Price’s valuable recent compilation of viewpoints on Jacket2, “What is the relationship between Conceptual Art and Conceptual Writing?” began circulating online and on Facebook. These led to discussions that were eye opening and inspiring, and they prompted me to do more thinking (and feeling) about the place of my own practice in this world, and about my own civic roles as a scholar and editor. I promised myself that I would move beyond gesturing towards more inclusive conversations and actually do something. I decided that I would change the nature of the question in order to seek alternative answers that represented a broader and more diverse array of practitioners across mediums and geographies.
So, after discussion with the editors, Julia Bloch and Jessica Lowenthal over at Jacket2, I have decided to further a discussion prompted by a question that travels in another direction, gathering up other sub-questions as it does: "What is the relationship between what-could-be-considered Conceptual Writing (plural and global) and other cultural productions?”
The goals here are:
1) To pluralize and expand the field of influences for contemporary conceptual or conceptual-like writing
2) To create records of aesthetic and political genealogies that resonate as true and lived for practitioners
3) To articulate the critique of dominant and hegemonic genealogies or histories associated with contemporary conceptual and conceptual-like writing
I am contacting you in the hopes that you’d like to contribute a short response (500 to 800 words) to this call for writing. This is a very limited word count, admittedly, but my aim is to collect as many view points as possible and to feature these as quickly as possible. Please consider this the initial step in the longer and continuous journey of telling and claiming history.
Aspects/Foci:
- Theories of the avant-garde and alternative temporalities
- Alternative and non-western concepts of innovation
- Low-innovation and anti-aesthetic innovation
- Connections between conceptual writing and other underrepresented aesthetic mediums: dance, music, textiles, decorative arts, folk craft, outsider practices,
- Connections between conceptual writing and other non-represented cultural practices: religious ritual, non-religious ritual, domestic spheres, social activism, psychoanalytic and non-psychoanalitic therapy
- Race and ethnic identity, indigeneity, and non-identity politics, and the question of intersectional difference
- Biographical narratives, familial identity, and subjective impressions of influence
- Genealogies of affect; trajectories of emotional aspects of praxis
- Sexuality, bodily practice, desire and subjectivity
- Low-art, pop, mass products, non-art
- National identities and transnational relationships/non-relationships, and the politics of migrancy, itinerancy, vagrancy
- Postcolonial implications and settler/non-settler politics
- Anthropology, social work, ethnography
- All other aspects that you sense are not represented in already existing accounts
Responses that are particularly welcome and in short supply:
Responses which focus on close readings of single texts (however ‘closeness' may be defined)
Responses which focus on unread, underrepresented practitioners in minorized relation to institutions (through race, class, sexuality, politics, gender, and intersections of these)
Responses which speak of your own practice and life
Responses which do comparative readings of a poetic text and a text outside the field of poetry
Responses which link private life to public practice
Immediate action: Please write back to express interest as soon as possible. Please also let me know if you can’t invest at this moment. Please circulate this to others who may be invested in this discussion.
Other actions: Compose
Due date: March 20, 2015.
Submission: Please email your response of 500 to 800 words in a document to me. Please follow, to your best ability, the style guide provided by Jacket2. The guidelines are flexible particularly around citations, but Jacket2 asks that all sources be cited. J2 is unable to run epigraphs or section titles because of design limits. If you would like to include images or multimedia links to already existing online content, please do so.

Den gode kritik
Stiftelsen Fritt Ord utlyser ti årlige stipender à 200 000 kroner til kritikere som skriver for dagsaviser eller ukeaviser, eller leverer kritikk til TV/radio. Den nye stipendordningen er samlet på seks millioner kroner over tre år.
Stipendene kan tildeles kritikere som arbeider innenfor hvilke som helst av kunstens og kulturens felter. Stipendene skal resultere i konkret og løpende kritikkproduksjon gjennom hele året, og er et bidrag til kvalitetsheving og profesjonalisering av et antall norske kritikere årlig. Fritt Ord ønsker å gi flere kritikere bedre muligheter til å utøve sitt yrke og bruke mer tid på det. Stipendene er ment som et tillegg til andre kritikerinntekter.
(...)
Mindre deler av stipendene kan brukes til reiser og kompetansehevende tiltak, men de skal primært støtte oppunder kritikerens mulighet til å leve av sin virksomhet og levere konkret kritikkjournalistikk av høy kvalitet. Legg ved en kort bekreftelse fra redaksjonen/e du er tilknyttet mht. din publiseringsavtale, inkludert honorarnivå i dag og honorarutvikling de siste årene. Gjør også kort rede for din inntektssituasjon helhetlig sett.
Se! Hvor ambitiøse og seriøse de er i Norge omkring kritikken(s betydning) og mulighedsbetingelser! - - - mere her - - -

Pressemeddelelse
Kritikerprisen til Harald
Voetmann og Georg Brandes-Prisen til Martin Zerlang.
Prisuddelingen finder sted torsdag den 16. april
2015 kl. 16.30
I Kulturstyrelsen, H.C. Andersens Boulevard 2, 1553
Kbh.
Alle er velkomne
Kritikerprisen for 2014 tildeles: Harald
Voetmann for romanen Alt under månen (Gyldendal)
Harald
Voetmanns roman Alt under månen
udspiller sig på øen Ven (Hven), som Tycho Brahe fik stillet til rådighed af
kong Frederik II i 1576, og hvor han opholdt sig på sit Uranienborg og i
observatoriet Stjerneborg frem til 1597.
Som forgængeren, romanen Vågen
fra 2o10, er den en fortælling om menneskets trang til at udgrunde verden, til
at forstå, hvad det er for love og kræfter, vi er underlagt. Man genkender den
Voetmannske tone, den eminente musikalitet, hvor vokalerne spiller på alle
sprogets toner, og ikke mindst vil man genkende beskrivelserne af menneskets
kødelige væren og åndelige begrænsning, de præcise og udpenslede beskrivelser
af kroppens væsker, af mørket indeni, og den evindelige menneskelige dårskab. Alt under månen er en roman om mennesket
i al sin komiske ynkelighed, sat i en perfekt lille scene på den tågeindhyllede
ø. Et syrebad af vilde billeder, en hylende morsom, grotesk og ravnsort
kommedie om menneskets fysiske og åndelige begær, storhedsvanvid og lidenhed,
som hverken er blevet større eller mindre siden dengang Uranienborg knejsede på
Ven.
Modtageren af Kritikerprisen udpeges ved urafstemning blandt medlemmerne
af Litteraturkritikernes Lav. Årets øvrige nominerede var Per Aage Brandt for digtsamlingen Tidens tand, mørkets hastighed (Basilisk) og Maja Lee Langvad for
vidnesbyrdet: Hun er vred (Gladiator)
Sidste års modtager af Kritikerprisen var Niels Frank for romanen Nellies bog (Gyldendal).
Georg Brandes-Prisen for 2014 tildeles Martin Zerlang for Karikaturland. I krydsild mellem danske
forfattere og tegnere (Forlaget Vandkunsten)
Sidste års modtager af Georg Brandes-Prisen var Niels Barfoed for biografien Benedicte – en skæbne (Gyldendal).
Georg Brandes
Pris-udvalget består i år af Peter Stein Larsen, Mikkel Bruun Zangenberg, Mads Rosendahl
Thomsen
Begge priserne er på 75.000 kr. og er finansieret
af Statens Kunstfonds Projektstøtteudvalg for Litteratur
Venlig hilsen Mai Misfeldt

Debatten om kritikken er snæver og historieløs
På en av Aftonbladets kulturfester för kanske femton år sedan blev jag presenterad för chefen för ett av Sveriges största förlag. När han insåg vem jag var, och att jag dittills bara publicerat poesi, lyckades han i fyllan fästa blicken på mig, den var glad och uppsluppen. Sedan tog han handen ur fickan, gjorde tummen ned, sa ”poesi”, följt av ett pruttljud, och gick. Jag tror att denne förlagschef verkligen hyste en djup misstro mot poesi, att hans reaktion kom från hjärtat, inte från förlagets marknadsavdelning.(...)Men det finns pengar, de bara fördelas annorlunda än för tjugo år sedan. Det är naivt att inte se ett samband mellan det faktum att svenska aktiebolag i dag i snitt delar ut 60 procent av vinsten till aktieägarna mot 8 procent på 1980-talet, och det faktum att allt fler svenska författare under denna tidsperiod fått höra från sina redaktörer att deras manus kan bli ”svåra att få igenom hos marknadsavdelningen”.
(...)
- Lars Hermansson skriver i Aftonbladet i forbindelse med debatten om litteraturkritikkens status og betydning - ikke mindst i dagbladene - der i øjeblikket pågår i Sverige.

- no ah i don’t really think that eh it’s gonna have any relevance
- ok ok so what about the text message you sent free freedom of speech to you the traitor i wish you were at utøya

- but eh is it a death threat you sent me
- no no haha not at all haha it ain’t no not at all
- then i don’t understand cuz you write wish you were at utøya
- well but that’s because with with with him eh him that imam from aarhus yea he’s gonna expect some media storm it’s like if you’re a brøndby fan who enters a fck camp and yells brøndby you know you should expect some consequences

- well we won’t edit anything it’s a one take
- well ok you can do that and as i said it was a provocation
