This paper documents this process and, at the same time, provides a critique of it. Accordingly, the paper is in three parts. The first part shows how the discursive make‐up of academe and capitalism have become remarkably similar. The second part of the paper then documents the rise of a ‘soft capitalism’ based upon new discourses of management, which, at the same time, provides powerful technology of justification. The final part of the paper shows that the new discourses of management have a hard edge which impoverishes its practices but may also allow the space for other social models to grow.","PeriodicalId":296129,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Values","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117124126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is argued that he has succeeded in doing so with work creating a tension between the fascination for a taboo vision (woods, soil, heath, national figures), denying identification through artistic means. Expressionist materiality, the figurative mode, woodcut, lyrical inscriptions, sculpture, bookmaking, original materials have been used in specific ways so as to create open‐ended works, confronting the viewer with his/her conflicting feelings and allowing them to finalize the work. However, where an overbearing scepticism of modernity causes Kiefer to turn to myth for answers, he is prone to collapsing history with timeless truths, confounding artistic production and organicist creation, thus abolishing the boundaries of the work together with the possibility of dialogic exchange.","PeriodicalId":296129,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Values","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128505439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
