The article deals with the concepts and problems of creative society. The author analyses the postmodern, post-industrial, post-rational, post-democratic, post-economic, post-capitalistic distinctiveness of creative society. According to the author, creative society has characteristics such as “outstanding-ness” (of both individual and society), creative living, and casual work relations. The paper deals with the creative aspects of entertainment and with the role of technologies in creative society. The author presents the sketches of creative ecology and creative ethics, the difficulties of empirically researching creativity and potential creative indexes as well as the problems regarding their evaluation. The research appeals to different approaches of creative society (including sociological, and philosophical) as well as methods used in different fields of the humanities (communication, media studies, narrative studies, and cultural studies). The author presents the key scholars of creative society and possible avenues of research emerging from this new subject. Keywords: creative society, creative industries, entertainment industries, creative ethics, creative ecology INTRODUCTION The concept of creative society1 is both old and new. By developing the arts and sciences, as well as seeking political and military achievements, every historical society is a creative one. In other words, creativity, which is often identified with culture, is that which allowed the society or civilization to rise above the others. We can talk here about creativity in both narrow and broad senses: the former covers the professional activities of a society’s members, and the latter covers social creativity, including searching for a safer, more sustainable, and more fruitful coexistence. A society’s creative advantage has ensured its happiness and persistence as well. Here a question emerges regarding which form of political coexistence ensures the most effective social creativity in both senses. Nevertheless, by warranting social mobility and novelty, creativity constitutes a threat for social identity must be connected with certain stability. An unstable social environment disturbs not only social and individual identities but also creativity itself. Considering that identity is 27 Tomas Kačerauskas / Creative Society connected with accumulated social capital, creative capital should not be exchanged with social capital like a new currency during a monetary reform (which commonly impoverishes society) but, rather be allowed to interact with it by appealing to creative identity inseparable from the social one. Despite the fact that the importance of creativity has been considered by both historical actors and social theoreticians (since at least Plato), treating creativity as a measure of civilization in historical scholarship presents many obstacles. First, it is unclear both what kind of creative criteria should be used and to what parts of society they should be applied. Second, it is unclear whether creativity and ingenuity are the distinctive features of an outstanding society or civilization. Third, it is unclear to what area should creativity’s importance be attached. For example, military ingenuity does not

  • A Critical Comparative Reading of Nationalism in Pramoedya A
    DOI: 10.9744/kata.17.1.1-8 ISSN 1411-2639 (Print), ISSN 2302-6294 (Online) OPEN ACCESS http://kata.petra.ac.id A Critical Comparative Reading of Nationalism in Pramoedya A. Toer and Ngugi wa Thiong’o Sunardi, D. Faculty of Language and Arts, University of Ma Chung Malang, INDONESIA Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article tries to explore how the conception, birth, and development of novel can become a tool to shed lights to our understanding of the conception, birth, and development of nationalism. The discussion departs from a powerful finding by Edward Said that prominent exiles he happened to know and befriend with had deliberately chosen to be novelists. According to Said, the choice to write novels was fueled by intense feeling of homelessness, which in turn took shape in dream of an imaginary homeland. Novel as a genre is in perpetual search for epic; and since that epic is elusive, what novel can offer is an imagined form. It is in this shared feeling, the same desire to imagine a perfect home, the constant fabrication of narratives of the epic past, the invention of quasi-sacred texts alongside with the heroes and enemies, the dynamics of including and excluding of people that novel and nationalism inform each other. As reader, we turn to postcolonial Kenyan Thiong‟o‟s A Grain of Wheat and Indonesian Toer‟s This Earth of Mankind. By commenting on the main characters of these novels we make intellectual exploration into the idea of nationalism. The results are two tentative conclusions regarding the relationship between novel and nationalism, i.e.

    SECRET DRAFT WORKING PAPER DEN. ASCU I EN AID RELEASED BY CENTIAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY SEINECESNEINIIISEXENPT INN 3111 Chapter Five OA/ 1 WAR CRIMES., SCLOSU At ACT DATE 2007 Long Experience in the Anti-Soviet Game (U) Even before the end of World War II, Allied intelligence grew intrigued by the work that the Germans had done to rally much of Europe to the Nazi cause. As the Allied armies fought across Italy and France in 1944, growing numbers of Wehrmacht prisoners who fell into British and American hands were not Germans, but Poles, Czechs, Hungarians, Russians, Baits, Cossacks, Ukrainians, and dozens of other nationalities and ethnic groups that took up arms for the Third Reich. While many of these combatants proved to be less than enthusiastic soldiers, the Nazis nonetheless raised substantial manpower from Europes non-Aryan populations. (U) Within weeks after the collapse of German resistance, Allied intelligence pondered the advantages and disadvantages of using for its own purposes the numerous émigré groups that sought shelter in the West. As the US Army took up occupation duties in Austria and Germany, it encountered members of these groups who claimed to be not only anti-Nazi, but also anticommunist. Sorting out the various factions, their leaders, philosophical goals, motivations, and backgrounds took up an increasing amount of time and effort on the part of American intelligence as tensions mounted between the East and the West. 1 (S) 'As an example, X-2 in Munich came into contact with Lithuanians in the summer of 1945, but was told to leave those groups alone for SI's exploitation.

While technology provides insight into what one’s opponents are doing, it lacks the distinctly human factor necessary for a full assessment of a given situation.
