27.6.2023.- El arte decadente y degenerado

View Original View Raw

Summary

En el siglo pasado, el arte estaba sujeto a la censura por parte de dos grandes movimientos totalitarios: el que derivaba de la ortodoxia soviética y el que derivaba de la ortodoxia nazi. En ambos casos, el arte debía plegarse a la gran revolución y la libertad del artista se vio afectada. En 1932, Stalin promulgó una ley de reconstrucción de las organizaciones literarias y artísticas que puso todas estas actividades bajo el control estatal. El caso de Shostakovitch es un ejemplo de esta censura estalinista. El régimen nazi también censuró el arte con su exposición del arte degenerado. Hitler pensaba que el arte era la expresión de un pueblo y quería mantener puro su carácter racial. Hoy en día, hay una nueva forma de censura llamada "woke".

AI Discussion

Me: It talks about two censoring movements of art in the past century: one from Soviet orthodoxy and one from Nazi orthodoxy. Both had a totalitarian character and art lacked autonomy. Artists' freedom, interest in subjectivity, and idea of art for art's sake were seen as manifestations of small-bourgeois egoism. It also talks about Stalin's law of reconstruction of literary and artistic organizations, where writers were seen as "engineers of the human soul" in service of the revolution. Finally, it mentions the new type of censorship, "woke," which will be discussed in the next post.

Friend: That's really interesting. It's sad that art had to be censored to fit certain ideologies. It's almost like the suppression of creativity and free expression.

Me: Exactly. It's a reminder of how oppressive regimes have historically tried to control art for their own political purposes. It's a good thing that nowadays there is more freedom to express oneself artistically. However, the new type of censorship, "woke," mentioned in the article, is also concerning. It's a type of censorship based on ideological conformity rather than on artistic merit. It's concerning that this new type of censorship is becoming increasingly prevalent in our society.
