Neue Slowenische Kunst in misel kot središče avantgardnosti

Mršek Bajda, Lela Angela (author)

Pojmovanje središča in obrobja v kulturi je podložno historičnim spremembam in v tem procesu tudi samo, namesto da bi bilo monolitno paradigmizirano, postaja kompleks pomnožene mnogoobraznosti. V prispevku se teza razvija z opazovanjem dogajanja med performativnostjo Neue Slowenische Kunst in ljubljansko urbano subkulturo okoli leta 1980 ter med performativnostjo Neue Slowenische Kunst in globalnim paradržavljanskim gibanjem NSK Folk Art okoli leta 2010. Med navedenimi praksami so se odvijale performativne prisvojitve, ki so privedle do subverzije središčnega in obrobnega znotraj kulturnega protitoka družbeni hegemoniji. Slednje je rezultat zmožnosti oz. nezmožnosti izgrajevanja habitusa, tj. spleta spomina in razumevanja zgodovine, izrekljivega v jezikovni gramatiki (sub)kulturne skupine. Neue Slowenische Kunst ostaja estetski vzgib, ki opolnomoči za družbeno akcijo angažirano misel, vendar izgublja pozicijo absolutnega središča te misli zato, ker se odmika od njenega utelešenja, pri čemer – paradoksalno – intenzivira eksistencialne razsežnosti lastne performativnosti. Nejasna postaja meja med kulturnim središčem in kulturnim obrobjem ter je tako problematična točka avantgardnega napada na kulturno izražene hegemonizme

Abstract

The comprehension of centre and periphery in culture is subject to historical changes. In this process, instead of being monolithically paradigmatised, this comprehension itself also becomes a complex of multiplied multifacetedness. The paper develops this thesis by observing the events between the performativity of Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) and Ljubljana’s urban subculture around 1980 and between the performativity of Neue Slowenische Kunst and the para-civic movement NSK Folk Art around 2010. Performative appropriations unfolded among these practices, which led to the subversion of the central and peripheral within the cultural counter-current to the social hegemony. The latter is the result of the ability or inability to build a habitus, that is, a web of memory and understanding of history, expressible within the linguistic grammar of a (sub)cultural group. NSK remains an aesthetic impulse that empowers socially engaged thought but loses its position as the absolute centre of this thought because it distances itself from its embodiment, thereby – paradoxically – intensifying the existential dimensions of its own performativity. The border between the cultural centre and the cultural periphery becomes blurred, thus making the avant-garde attack on culturally expressed hegemonies problematic.
