- W1012113644 abstract "The Terror of Creativity: Art Education after PostmodernismThe title, The Terror of Creativity: Art Education after Postmodernism, is addressed around two central problematics:2 the first will demonstrate why the contemporary emphasis on creativity belongs to a larger problematic-the Idea3 of terrorism as the innerer Klang of the 21st century that is heard/herd around the globe. Terror has become actualized within the very fibers of daily life: from airport travel to a pervasive surveillance that continually charts, registers and eventually markets our electronic bodies. Innerer Klang, written in German, refers to a bell tone warning-the silence of a siren that causes the tinnitus of anxiety, an unexplainable ringing in the ears, the very opposite of Kandinsky's 'innerer Klang ' translated as the 'inner sound' of spiritual transcendental harmony. The discordance as the shadow side of the supposed harmony of neoliberalism is slowly creeping over the earth. The 'Occupy Wall Street' phenomenon is one actualized symptom of this Klang, now seeded globally around the world in many major cities. Authorities will eventually tear down these campsites, but the impact of the event will remain as part of the cultural history of struggle.4The second problematic-after postmodernism-refers to the myriad of proposals for change that have emerged in the social sciences as the euphoria as well as the melancholy of postmodernism now undergoes a psychic change and reevaluation in a globalized society where questions concerning the geopolitics of trading bloc agreements, stock market instabilities, Middle East crisis, North African unrest, and floating currencies ('virtual money' or xenomoney) have led to a resurgence of a call for more conservative agendas: the rise of nationalist socialist parties in every country in Europe, the general globalized trend of closing national borders to immigrants escaping from the terror perpetuated in their own countries hoping for a better future, and a turn to more fiscal restraint shrinking even further the strained job market both in North America and Europe. The system is developing major crevasses. One need only look at the European Union crisis to grasp the anxiety that permeates the Zeitgeist. The iconic figures of the veiled woman and the bearded turbaned man have become the objects of suspicion that define the transferences of difference of both culture and religion. Facing sexual scandals, Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain continues to maintain that most U.S. Muslims have extremist views (Global Post, Nov. 14, 2011), while one out of every five Americans still believes that President Obama is a Muslim. This fear of infection is indicative of an underlying paranoia deep in the psyche of a nation that is slowly losing its capitalist spearhead and global leadership.The Klang of TerrorismThe terrorism that surrounds the 'disappearance of man,' not as a Foucauldian call for further egalitarianism, but as the very question of ecological human survival-the Nietzschean prophecy of the 'last man' where only comfort and security are sought in response to nihilism-has fallen into what Alain Badiou in the closing pages of his book The Century (2007, p. 177) calls 'animal humanism:' a state of affairs where the age of ecology and environmentalism is disavowed by new forms of neo-Romanticism, the escape velocity to transcendental spiritualism now calling on angels and crystals. If God no longer has 'truck' with us, we should now turn to the gentle coaching of Helen Schucman's A Course in Miracles (1975) to achieve peace of mind or read perhaps Esther Hicks' The Secret (2007) for financial improvement by 'attracting' money. Should that fail, we can always turn to Oprah Winfrey's spiritual guru Eckhart [Ulrich Leonard] Tolle's in his quest for A New Earth (2005) via a new form of religious relativism. While this may all sound cynical on my part, there are many believers who would tell me otherwise. …" @default.
