Kanters","doi":"10.1215/00265667-10320933","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1215/00265667-10320933","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This article analyzes efforts to institute professionally designed alternative currencies in European cities as acts of creative experimentation. The alternative currency consultants, or \"the Money Makers,\" experiment profusely with alternative moneys. As such, they have instituted various currencies throughout Europe from the 1990s onward—many of which have been funded by political bodies. Alternative moneys never succeeded in the sense that they never achieved their ambitious goal of creating resilient, localized economies. The article outlines how this rapid rise and fall of currency forms is interpreted by the Money Makers as a positive route of discovery toward a fair economy, an attitude of \"failing forward.\" Never quite successful, never quite finished, never just-right—to fail forward means that failure is not only imminent, it is required to attain success. New currencies are continuously created as reinventions upon themselves and upon capitalist practice. The notion of failing forward is key to understanding the creative design of currency alternatives as carrying within itself not only hopes for the future but also the history of prior forms as well as the current dynamics of neoliberal capitalism. The article argues therefore that creativity, as developing the \"alterity\" of \"alternative economies,\" is a collective enterprise that is institutionally shaped.","PeriodicalId":43805,"journal":{"name":"MINNESOTA REVIEW","volume":"23 1","pages":"100 - 117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79747405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The third chapter of Ulysses is “Proteus,” in which the character Stephen Daedalus strides across Sandymount Strand meditating upon the “ineluctable modality of the visible” and his own variegated processes of perception as he takes in the sea and the beach. Each lizard articulates a different perspective on sensory perception and a different modality of reading directed by that perspective, and so the lizards cannot agree on what the focus of their discussion should be. As the lizards become more creatively inspired, several other characters appear and add their own perspective, and through the liveliness of conversation and the difference of voices there emerges a kind of “chameleonics” in which multicolored light is projected from within the bodies of each lizard. The mobilization of creativity in this discussion aims to open out the “ineluctable modality of the visible” occurring in the first sentence of Joyce’s chapter into a sensory manifold that both plays and is played by the voices of the meteorological forces themselves that render the seascape protean.","PeriodicalId":43805,"journal":{"name":"MINNESOTA REVIEW","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75525859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It situates zines as a form of literary writing, reading, and distribution that cannot be incorporated into dominant accounts of literature or creativity because of their ephemerality. The article examines case studies by Kathy Acker, David Wojnarowicz, and the poet Hakim to demonstrate the unique forms of creativity zine making enacts. The author argues that the study of independent media requires the development of new, creative methodologies in cultural scholarship that can expand our understanding of the uses of creativity beyond understanding it as a practice that generates forms of value that can be transferred to other areas of civic life.","PeriodicalId":43805,"journal":{"name":"MINNESOTA REVIEW","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83087880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
