Traveling is a brutality

Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance.

The Culture Industry Quotes by Theodor Adorno

Written by Stanley Warhol, Neha Cherian

“Illusory universality is the universality of the art of the culture industry, it is the universality of the homogeneous same, an art which no longer even promises happiness but only provides easy amusement as relief from labour.” (Theodor Adorno)

Adorno argues against the Culture Industry due to its mass manipulation which in turn renders art less artistic. In that, the injection of mass consumerism and capitalism into art has led to the loss of authentic art. He argues that the culture industry is interested in creating art that is meant to give momentary enjoyment to the mass rather than cater to the aesthetic. The saturation of mediocre entertainment in the market contains less and less art as it aims to capture as much as possible. The prioritization of monetary profit in the commodification of art molds the culture industry.

“The culture industry is not the art of the consumer but rather the projection of the will of those in control onto their victims. The automatic self-reproduction of the status quo in its established forms is itself an expression of domination.” Theodor Adorno

Adorno further explains the mass manipulation that goes into making the culture industry viable in the eyes of the consumers. He expounds that knack of the culture industry is not in concealing that they manipulating the masses but to get the consumers to not care either way. Therefore, he compares this type of manipulation to the fascist ideologies that are embraced by the masses despite deteriorating their well-being. The assertion expresses this dynamic and how it also brings forth a class divide that sees the domination of the consumers in the market.

Any authentic creation is a gift to the future

“Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future” by Albert Camus.

“Keep your language. Love its sounds, its modulation, its rhythm. But try to march together with men of different languages, remote from your own, who wish like you for a more just and human world.” by  Hélder Câmara.

Every country, every community are strongly tied together by an intricate tapestry of individual values, norms and a specific history, so to understand their culture is to understand them. Speaking to a person in a way which is sensitive to their own distinct, unique culture enables a brand to not only elicit the intended emotional response through branded communications, but also shows that the brand can be trusted to understand their consumer.

Culture and its impact on the communities it was born of is a beautiful, multifaceted entity which gives strength, identity and purpose to its people, and these culture quotes explore the reasons why we emphasise obtaining a true insight into the cultures we help brands to speak to.

Culture is the name for what people are interested in, their thoughts, their models, the books they read and the speeches they hear, their table-talk, gossip, controversies, historical sense and scientific training, the values they appreciate, the quality of life they admire. All communities have a culture. It is the climate of their civilization. （Source: 19 Insightful Quotes About Culture by Textappeal)

The cultural Consciousness 

We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society

“We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own.

For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent,

but which were given to us by our society” by Alam W. Watts.

When we become the transcreation partner of a brand, we ensure that all our services have deep roots in the culture of each target market. Our project managers connect with a network of in-house language specialists who become their trusted knowledge-base to ensure all assets are produced with a true understanding of the market’s consumer mindset.

王汶成·論“藝術審美經驗”的涵義

摘要：本文從外延和內涵兩個方面，探討了藝術審美經驗這一概念的涵義，認為藝術審美經驗的能指範圍是不斷拓展的，但有一個底線；而藝術審美經驗的所指意義，則包括哲學內涵、心理內涵、人文內涵等多重內容。

近代以來在美學領域發生的經驗美學、心理美學、人生美學的轉向，使得“藝術審美經驗”一詞越來越引起人們的關注，而當前國內學術界熱烈展開的關於“大眾審美文化”、“日常生活審美化”以及“文學的邊界”、“藝術的邊界”、“審美的邊界”等等的討論，也無不涉及到對“藝術審美經驗”這一概念的理解。因此總結歷史的經驗、綜合各派觀點，從理論上探討一下“藝術審美經驗”這一概念的基本涵義，應該是很有必要、很有現實意義的。從字面上看，這個概念在“經驗”一詞的前面有“藝術的”、“審美的”兩個限定，因而是一個特指概念。本文擬先清理一下這個特指概念所規定的外延邊界，即它的能指範圍，然後再來確定這個概念的所指內涵。

一、藝術審美經驗的外延界定

首先，藝術的審美經驗是一種關涉“藝術的”審美經驗，所有與藝術無關的經驗，即使是審美經驗，都不是我們所說的“藝術的”審美經驗。譬如，我們在現實生活中，面對自然景物、種種社會現象、人的漂亮的面孔乃至某種高尚的品行所產生的審美經驗，就不屬於藝術的審美經驗，因為這些審美經驗與藝術沒有直接的關聯，它們不是在面對藝術作品時產生的。但是，這樣的界定馬上又引出了一個更為麻煩的問題，這就是如何劃定“藝術”與“非藝術”的界限？這里的困難在於，被我們稱為藝術的東西本身是不斷變化著的，它的指稱邊界既不是預先設定的，也不是固定不變的，而是隨著藝術本身的變化而“伸縮”不定的。總之，藝術與非藝術的分界由於藝術本身的不斷變化而很難劃清。

就西方的情況看，起初古希臘時期所說的“藝術”包括了一切“技藝性”的活動，很明顯，這個所指範圍是比較廣泛的，諸如建築、雕塑、制陶、裁縫、戰術、醫術、論辯術、經商術、航海術等等，凡是一切依靠手藝的、有著既定程序的、需要某種特殊技術的活動，都被古希臘人看作是藝術。但奇怪的是，像詩歌、音樂這些被現代人看作標準藝術的東西，反而未被列入藝術的範圍之內。因為，在當時的人們看來，詩歌、音樂等同哲學一樣，都是依靠智力的、創造性的、高貴的活動，都不屬於“技藝”的活動，而被歸入“藝術”的技藝活動則是機械的、粗俗的、低賤的活動。直到1747年法國學者查理斯·巴托首次提出了“美的藝術”的概念之後，藝術的外延邊界才隨之發生了重大的改變，這就是把原來被認為是藝術的那些純技藝活動排除出去，而把繪畫、詩歌、戲劇、音樂、舞蹈等具有審美意義的活動吸納進藝術的範疇，由此就形成了近代以來關於藝術的新概念。(王汶成《論「藝術審美經驗」的涵義》煙臺大學學報[哲學社會科學版]；19卷3期 [2006/07 /15]，P291-297) （下續）
