Creative Society
Monograph
The topic of a creative society relies upon the triangle of creativity, culture and society, while it also appeals to research issues by analysing of the problems of cultural and creative industries and by comparing the different regions of creative industries.
The core of the creative society is the creative class. The biggest difficulty is how to define it. Define it too narrowly, and its influence on the development of creative society falls under doubt. Yet defining it too broadly threatens to whitewash its identity.
The creative capital that embodies social mobility and renewing is inseparable from the social capital that embodies traditional social connections. Managing creativity relies upon a “soft” control of creative workers. Creative ecology relies upon the ideas that creation needs limits, that the content of a creative worker’s consciousness is to be renewed over and over, and that ecology is a disrupting strategy that resists the unifying tendencies of social engineering.
Creative ethics has been analysed by appealing to (unethical) regions of otherness. Creative ethics is contradictory in that it treats non-creativity as unethical regarding the creative society. The topic of creative maps has been nourished by cultural regionalistics, which appeal to different creative regions and meta-regions, as well to policies regarding them.
One creative region is the creative city that should be analysed in the context of both a mediated and a global society by trying to disclose the myth that the city is a haven of tolerance, openness and creativity. The topic of creative society also relies upon the relations between politics and creativity that has been analysed by looking to the creative aspects of politics. The sociability of creativity should be analysed by appealing to both the asociability of the creative workers and the social environment of creativity. The empiricism of creativity should be analysed by appealing to the aforementioned methodological difficulties.
An investigation of a creative society cannot avoid the topic of creative dialog that has been developed in the context of a cultural identity’s environment.

An Individual in Historical Community. Sketches of Cultural Regionalistics
T. Kačerauskas
Monograph
 Cultural regionalistics presupposes phenomenological approach from beneath instead of cultural theory from above. Research of cultural regions appeals not only and not as much to a certain geographical region, for instance Grand Duchy of Lithuania, as to existential regions, while an individual is realizing one’s utopia that is nurtured in a historical community. As an individual takes responsibility for the communal utopia changed by him, they also are moral regions. Additionally, they are aesthetical regions, while an individual is imagining the harmony of his/her community’s past and future: on the one hand, a region has been seen (sensual perception as a‡sqhsij), on the other, one is harmonizing by reconciling the gone way and the way to be gone of historical society with the help of its biography. As a result, we deal also with the regions of education in historical environment of both an individual and community, the priorities of which have been changed by an individual realizing one’s existential project.
