The article draws an analogy between today’s economicist discourse on risk and the 20th century conceptualizations of the same concept as a requirement of artistic creativity. I will argue that in both cases, risk produces precarious subjectivities that are apt to receive and manage radical contingency with creative purposes. In the last part of the article, I will contextualize the analogy between economic and artistic risk with reference to the ecological risk and the ecological crisis.

Abstract

The article draws an analogy between today’s economicist discourse on risk and the 20th century conceptualizations of the same concept as a requirement of artistic creativity. I will argue that in both cases, risk produces precarious subjectivities that are apt to receive and manage radical contingency with creative purposes. In the last part of the article, I will contextualize the analogy between economic and artistic risk with reference to the ecological risk and the ecological crisis.
