This manifesto takes a broad and critical approach to entrepreneurial research. The author consciously uses a provocative way of arguing for the importance of challenging received academic wisdom about entrepreneurship. It is a manifesto that spells out why we should question the idea that entrepreneurship research is neutral. It is the academic's privilege to ask questions; hence the appeal here to critical theory, familiar from other traditions than business management, and a useful corrective when considering the dominant and hegemonic perspectives in entrepreneurship research. The manifesto presents entrepreneurship as something that goes far beyond market-oriented business to an enterprising spirit that could keep society self-reflecting and self-critical by questioning what it takes for granted; mobilizing the entrepreneurial energies of those who voluntarily marginalize themselves–individuals and groups who are not afraid to stand out, channeling their self-confidence to defend values that contrast the dominant ones. They are to be found among performance artists practising social art, "extreme" entrepreneurs, and creative anarchists who take society itself as their target when trying to instigate change. When the entrepreneurial focus is not the market per se, but rather the social norms and values in which economic activity is embedded, the entrepreneur's task becomes to challenge whatever is taken for granted–an incitement that is as much social as economic. Thus, the entrepreneur as a provocateur takes on the most established institutions, her only guiding principle being to question whatever principles that society unthinkingly espouses, whatever is taken for granted. Unlike market entrepreneurs, who appreciate institutions since they provide an otherwise unknowable environment with basic "rules of the game", provocative entrepreneurs question even the most formal, long-standing institutions. Their motivation is a generic obstinacy, and their vision is to be recognized for making people aware–and for their actions, even as they rub saltpetre in society's wounds. Entrepreneurship in the form it is presented in this manifesto asks the awkward question or presents the uncomfortable truth, forcing all to take a long hard look at themselves in a cold, self-critical light. The essays here cover a variety of forms of anarchist entrepreneurship–all with a strong driving spirit. The manifesto aims to stimulate entrepreneurs and researchers, as well as politicians and citizens, to engage, to initiate, and to act, all in the name of the society.

This project considers the potential impact of learning relations between hobby craft makers and formally educated makers. It questions how the craft based relationship of a formally educated artist and a self taught/amatuer maker can be renegotiated and implemented in a broader learning context. The artistic research aims to propose that a facet of ‘new knowledge’ in the field and future of contemporary art and craft production is one of togetherness; by embracing discomfort and the unfamiliar to affirm and reveal the knowns and unknowns of one's own practice and field. The question is considered in discussion with social/relational art practices, amatuer craft theory and gift theory. The project culminates both in this paper and an exhibition piece as part of Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design Spring Exhibition 2016.

Visuomenė tobulėja, kai jos socialinės grupės turi atviras ir lygias galimybes. Projektinis mąstymas, projektiniai metodai ir projekto veikla tampa vis populiaresnė. Socialiniai projektai – tai gera galimybė planuoti, organizuoti ir sisteminti veiklą, vertinti rezultatus ir analizuoti klaidas ir įgyti patirties. Socialinių meninių projektų veikla yra naudinga darant įtaką kultūriniam gyvenimui, vykdant socialinius meninius projektus, naudojant gatvės meną kaip metodą. Viena iš prevencinės veiklos būdų yra mokytis gatvės meno, nes ji yra artima visuomenei ir vystėsi iš gatvės kultūros. Ši veikla ypač yra artima jaunimo tarpe, nes hip hop‘o kultūra buvo kultivuojama gatvėse, kur buvo aktualios socialinės – ekonominės problemos. Kai jaunimas dalyvauja socialiniuose meniniuose prfojektuose ar propoguoja gatvės meną, jau automatiškai vykdo prevenciją. Kuo didesnis užimtumas, tuo mažiau vykdoma neigamos veiklos. Analizuojant prevencinės veiklos organizavimą ir jos tobulinimą, gatvės menas ir gatvės meno reikšmė parodo gatvės meno socializacijos aktyvinimo problemą ir yra keliamas klausimas – kaip turi būti organizuojama prevencinė veikla, taikant gatvės meną kaip metodą ar įrankį.Tyrimo tikslas: ištirti prevencinės socialinio darbo veiklos plėtotės, taikant gatvės meną, galimybes. Uždaviniai: 1. Išanalizuoti prevencinės veiklos organizavimą socialinio darbo kontekste. 2. Išnagrinėti gatvės meno socialinius ir prevencinius aspektus. 3. Atlikti gatvės meno taikymo prevencinėse... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / Society improves, when its social groops have open and equal opportunities.

This activitie is very close to young people groops – hip hop subculture was created and cultivated in the streets, between the youth whitch has social – economical problems. When youth is involved in street culture or participated in social and art projects, they automatically do prevention. The bigger is busyness, the less people do something, what is not acceptable to society.

Camille Mauclair (1872-1945) est l'un des auteurs qui comptent non seulement parmi les plus prolifiques mais aussi parmi les plus lus de son temps. S'il a su puiser dans toutes les occasions offertes par la Troisième République, investissant sa curiosité des débuts dans différents genres (roman, poésie, essai et critique), c'est toutefois en tant que critique d'art qu'il s'affirme professionnellement. Ce travail de recherche retrace le parcours professionnel et intellectuel de Mauclair, des années modernistes du symbolisme aux années de l'entre-deux-guerres et de l'Occupation, et explique à travers l'histoire des idées comment un auteur internationaliste a placé la question nationale au cœur de son débat et est progressivement devenu un pôle de conservatisme et de réaction. Sa perception d'un art national basé sur le XVIIIe siècle inaugure une histoire de l'art vulgarisatrice et nationaliste. La notion de crise devient pour lui une clé pour la compréhension du système de l'art qui l'entoure. La radicalisation de ses thèses l'amènera à une collaboration déterminante avec l'homme influent de l'extrême-droite François Coty et cette collaboration fera de Mauclair un pamphlétaire de l'art. Au début de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, le critique adhère à la presse collaborationniste et ses choix réactionnaires et antisémites lui coûteront la postérité. / Camille Mauclair (1872-1945) was one of the most prolific and most read authors of his times. He used every opportunity offered to him by the Third Republic and he engaged his talents to many literary genres: fiction, poetry, essays, and critiques. However, he only established himself professionally as an art critic. This thesis traces the professional and intellectual itinerary of Camille Mauclair from his early preoccupation with the modernism of symbolism to his later reactionary period and seeks to explain how an initially internationalist author placed the national idea at the heart of his debate. His perception of national art as starting from the l8th century launches a popularizing and nationalist art history. He furthermore develops the notion of crisis in ail levels and he turns it into a key to the understanding of the system of modern art. The radicalization of his opinions leads to his collaboration with the powerful figure of extreme-right François Coty which will make him a profession al lampoonist. During the Second World War, Mauclair joins the collaborationist press and his reactionary and anti-Semitic opinions will ruin his posthumous fate.

В украинской современной социальной сфере наблюдается тенденция развития в направлении демократии. Эта тенденция, как и любое изменение мира, не могло не отразится в сфере искусства, причем образцом, как и для социальной сферы, так и для искусства является Европа. Но переход не может осуществиться сразу от одной системы ценностей к другой, для этого перехода требуется трансформация общества и ценностей, искусство в данном случае выступает катализатором таких процессов. Данные четыре художника создают объеты, которые несут пропагандистский характер и их концепции затрагивают сложивщиеся в данный момент в Украине политические и социальные проблемы. Трансформация в выбранных работах современных украинских художников является объектом исследования данной работы. / Ukrainos šiuolaikinėje socialinėje sferoje pastebima vystymosi demokratijos link tendencija; ši tendencija kaip ir bet kuri pasaulio kaita negalėjo neatsispindėti ir meno sferoje, kurioje pavyzdžiu kaip socialinei sferai taip ir menui yra Europa. Bet perėjimas iš vienos vertybių sistemos į kitą negali įvykti iškart, šiam perėjimui reikia visuomenės ir vertybių transformacijos; menas šiuo atveju reiškiasi kaip tokių procesų katalizatorius. Transformacija šiuolaikinių Ukrainos menininkų darbuose yra šio darbo tyrimo objektas. / In Ukrainian modern social sphere there is a trend of development towards democracy. This trend , as well as any change in the world , is reflected in art. Europe could be a good example for both. But transition from one value system in to another can not occure immediately, as transformation of society and its values is required. Art, in this case, acts as a catalyst for such process. Transformation in the works of modern Ukrainian artists is research object of this work.

The research presents a practice-based examination of the politics and poetics of the manifesto form, drawing on feminist theoretical writing and activism alongside contemporary iterations of socially engaged art. It offers feminist manifestos as a lens through which to reconsider the form and intentions of socially engaged art, which is reframed in the light of these feminist insights as social art practice (Ross, 2000). To draw feminism alongside social art practice the research occupies the metaphorical territory of the manifesto in order to open up a dialogue with, and directly experience, unfolding forms of social art practice. The thesis is structured in the form of an archive, consisting of three distinct but interrelated concepts – the manifesto, hospitality and archives. This structure sets out to highlight the relational and political nature of archives suggesting their potential to be reimagined as manifesto forms. In addition the structure reveals how both manifesto and archive function as explicit, politically radical forms of hospitality. These topics are discretely contained in physical form within three archival boxes, one for each concept, and in an online audio archive ‘giving voice’ to each of the concepts. Taken as a whole the thesis articulates a missing feminist history within current critical discourse around social art practice -­ despite the early presence of important feminist artists like Lacy and Ukeles. This research explores the implications of this absence, seeking to acknowledge the effects it could have not only on feminism as a political and intellectual practice but on the criticality and depth of social art practice. It is possible to encounter the archive as a cartography that can be laid out, navigated and read in any order. This movement between forms of knowledge mirrors the subjects it approaches which are conceived as interstitial forms, negotiating multiple perspectives to produce active subjectivity. Each section juxtaposes knowledge about practice, engaging with history to search for precedents, and knowledge with practice as a generative method, curating events and producing written contributions. Moving between these two methodologies the research sets out to find an appropriate voice to articulate the complexities of social art practice and its feminist histories.

Socialiniai meno projektai Lietuvoje rengiami pakankamai neseniai, tačiau jau sulaukė visuomenės dėmesio. Šio darbo tikslas – išanalizuoti socialinių meno projektų ypatumus, pagrindinius jų vadybos principus. Pateikti realiai įgyvendinamų socialinių meno projektų „Nėra laiko“ ir „Apie Viltį“ aprašai, atskleidžiami šių projektų vadybos ypatumai. Analizuojant socialinius meno projektus buvo prieita prie išvados, kad socialiniai meno projektai iš kitų projektų išsiskiria savo sandara, paskirtimi bei poveikiu žmonių sveikatai, gerovei, socializacijai, integracijai ir pan. Svarbiausi socialinių meno projektų ypatumai – jų siekiami tikslai, paskirtis bei poveikis, susijęs su visuomenės ir žmogaus sveikata bei gerove. Meninių socialinių projektų tikslas – meninės raiškos priemonėmis kurti, reformuoti arba keisti nusistovėjusius socialinius modelius. Ne mažiau svarbus vienas pagrindinių socialinių meno projektų ypatumų – meninės raiškos forma atkreipti visuomenės dėmesį į aktualias socialines problemas. Be to, darbe atskleista, kad norint sėkmingai įgyvendinti socialinio meno projektą būtina vadyba, o vienas svarbiausių jos sėkmės pagrindų – skirtingoms sritims atstovaujančių asmenų – kultūros vadybininkų, menininkų, sveikatos priežiūros ir socialinių paslaugų teikėjų, vartotojų bei rėmėjų – kūrybiškas ir lankstus bendradarbiavimas. Remiantis tarpinstituciniu bendradarbiavimu, buvo sėkmingai įgyvendintas socialinis meno projektas „Apie Viltį“, įgyvendinti paruoštas ir socialinis...

The aim of the Master Thesis is to analyse peculiarities of social art projects and the main principles of their management. This research provides detailed descriptions of the already implemented art projects “Nėra laiko” (“No Time”) and “Apie viltį” (“About the Hope”) and reveals peculiarities of the management of these projects. Analysis of the social art projects led to the conclusion that social art projects differ from other projects in their structure, aim, and effect on people’s health, welfare, socialisation, integration, and other issues. The main peculiarities of social art projects are their goals, purpose, and effect related to health and welfare of both - the public and individual. Artistic social projects are aimed at creating, reforming, or changing the already established social models by employing artistic means of expression. In addition, it is of equal importance for social art projects to attract public attention to social problems by employing these artistic means of expressions. Moreover, the research allowed for the conclusion that management plays an essential role in successful implementation of social art projects. Collaboration of representatives from different spheres, such as cultural managers, artists, providers of health care and social services, consumers, and supporters, is one of the most important key elements...

A presente dissertação, Clube de Gravura de Porto Alegre e revista Horizonte (1949-1956): arte e projeto político, estuda a ação de um grupo de artistas vinculados ao projeto cultural do Partido Comunista do Brasil que dedicou sua produção para a popularização da arte como meio de conscientização política. Esses artistas, entre os quais se destacam Vasco Prado, Glênio Bianchetti, Carlos Scliar, Danúbio Gonçalves e Glauco Rodrigues, tinham na gravura um meio privilegiado para essa difusão, procurando explorar temas da cultura popular e vinculá-los a uma pauta de luta contra a exploração capitalista e o imperialismo norteamericano. Enquanto o Clube de Gravura de Porto Alegre era o principal espaço de articulação para esses agentes, a revista Horizonte colocava-se como veículo para circulação de imagens e de promoção de debates vinculados a este projeto. O primeiro capítulo deste trabalho trata do contexto em que se formou o Clube de Gravura de Porto Alegre e sua inserção no campo artístico do Rio Grande do Sul. No segundo capítulo, é realizado um levantamento da atuação desses artistas no ambiente cultural da capital sulina, principalmente na Associação Francisco Lisboa, assim como são enfatizadas as ações voltadas ao grande público, como a colaboração na campanha pela paz e as exposições de gravura, que tinham como finalidade despertar a consciência crítica da classe trabalhadora por meio da arte. No terceiro e último capítulo, são abordadas as influências recebidas, como o realismo socialista, o zhdanovismo e a gravura chinesa, como também possíveis diálogos com outros movimentos, tal qual o tradicionalismo gaúcho. Essa parte se encerra com o balanço da produção do grupo ocorrida vinte anos depois, em um momento de críticas e análises contraditórias em relação à sua proposta original. / The present work entitled Clube de Gravura de Porto Alegre e revista Horizonte (1949- 1956): arte e projeto político, studies the actions of a group of artists related to a cultural project of the Partido Comunista do Brasil which dedicated its artistic production to popularize art as a mean to political conscientization. Among the artists involved in this movement Vasco Prado, Glênio Bianchetti, Carlos Scliar, Danúbio Gonçalves e Glauco Rodrigues outstanded by using engraving as a privileged mean to difuse the ideas of the movement exploring themes such as popular culture linking them as a way to draw attention to the capitalist exploration and the North-American imperialism. The Clube de Gravura de Porto Alegre was the main space for artistic production of the project and the Horizonte magazine was its most important vehicle of image circulation and promotion of debates. The first chapter of this work is about the context in which the Clube de Gravura de Porto Alegre was created and its insertion in the Rio Grande do Sul artistic field. In the second chapter, the insertion of these artists in the cultural environment of Porto Alegre is described, mainly in the Associação Francisco Lisboa, as well as their actions for the great public as the collaboration in a peace campaign and the engraving exhibitions whose purpose was to awake the critical awareness of the working class through art. In the third and last chapter, the influences which acted in these artists are addressed such as the socialist realism, zhdanovism and the Chinese engraving, as well as a possible relation with other movements such as regional culture. This part ends with an evaluation of the group production occurred twenty years later at a time of criticism and contradictory analyzes regarding to its original proposal.

This thesis will examine the practice of relational aesthetics as it involves the viewer, as well as the way in which it plays out within and outside of the institutional setting of the museum. I will focus primarily on two unique projects: that of The Machine Project Field Guide at Los Angeles County Museum of Art on November 15, 2008, produced by Machine Project, a social project operated out of a storefront gallery in Echo Park; and David Michalek's Slow Dancing at the Lincoln Center Festival in New York City, July 12-29 2007.
