Expressionist Hegenomy (Cont'd) Still, critical diagnoses persist in using the concept of hegemony as a tool to understand relations between centre and periphery, Eurocentrism and the Other, institutions and movements, capital and art, sex and gender etc. But it seems that revolt against hegemony follows new paths, without an ambition to reveal the Great Law which would show us the point from where the absolute Freedom could be introduced at once and for all, because such a centralised way is the substance of hegemony itself. |

How
to use the concept of hegemony in art and culture today
when culture is not put on pedestal as the most important
sphere of human life and social progress, and when hegemony
does not work as a reduction of all emancipatory fights
to economy and class struggle? How does hegemony work in
art relationships today, when art is an indiscernible part
of global culture of late capitalism?
