Summary:

"This issue of Making & Breaking sets out to re-imagine culture beyond individualized consumerism and personal preferences indexed to the ability to pay. Kirsten Ross recovered the idea of "communal luxury" from the shattered remains of the Paris Commune. It evoked not just collective consumption (of services or infrastructures) but the possibility of a social fabric charged with aesthetic experience, with art and beauty for the many, not for the few. Demonised and ridiculed after 1990, when creative entrepreneurship and startup culture triumphed over the supposedly grey conformity of the public sector, what happened to collective popular culture? If we are to establish art and culture as something essential to democratic citizenship and human flourishing, then we have to take the risk of re-imagining the possibilities of collective culture."-- provided by distributor.
