Rezension: "Eroberung des Elfenbeinturms. Streitschrift für eine bessere Kultur" von Fabian Burstein

Abstract

In his Polemic For A Better Culture, Fabian Burstein takes stock of the Austrian cultural scene, which is according to the author characterized by scandals and stagnation. Pleading for a new concept of culture beyond the romanticization of the past and arbitrariness, Burstein evokes both the (socio-)political potential of culture and a hopeful silver lining on the horizon of the Austrian culture industry.
