Cultural cracks. Zeitschrift für Radikaldemokratische Kulturpolitik was an Austrian cultural journal that was published quarterly from 1996 to 2013. From 2001 it appeared under a new design and a different orientation with a more theoretical focus. It was published by the umbrella organization IG Kultur Austria .
Foundation, name, goals
The magazine was founded as an intellectual response to the black-blue coalition (2000-2006), which was already described in the magazine's zero issue as The Intellectual Counterrevolution . Gabi Gerbasits , the managing director of IG Kultur, drew 6 dead and 144 injured in this issue . a first “balance sheet of the liberal-conservative culture war”.
The title of the magazine was taken from a symposium of IG Kultur Austria in November 1995 in the Funkhaus Wien , it had the subtitle Relevance and Social Functions of Free Cultural Work .
The objectives of the magazine were characterized on its website in four key words: Oppositions , cultural politics , art practices , cosmopolitanism . The magazine wanted to develop “counter-hegemonic concepts and companies in the civil society sector”, critically comment on cultural work, cultural policy, cultural funding and cultural administration, “highlight successful artistic interventions” and engage in discourses beyond nationalism . The cultural rifts expressly support the use of gender-equitable language .
The magazine not only dealt critically with the politics of the black-blue coalition, but also analyzed the cultural policy of the SPÖ , dealt with the Linz 2009 project - European Capital of Culture , and dealt with questions of copyright law . The magazine's authors included Clemens Apprich , Petja Dimitrova , Tina Leisch , Siegfried Mattl , Radostina Patulova and Marlene Streeruwitz .
The last issue focused on the ¡Archive Migration, Now! dedicated, prepared and presented by the migration researcher Ljubomir Bratić .
distribution
The magazine was distributed on the one hand through subscriptions and the website, on the other hand through selected bookshops in Vienna, Linz and Berlin.

Hiring, follow-up project
“As it were overnight, without prior exchange with the editors, [the magazine Kulturrisse ] was discontinued by the publisher 'in its current form' in early December 2013.” With this criticism, a number of Kulturrisse employees opened their follow-up project in September 2014. As early as January 2014, eleven authors of the Kulturrisse , including Ljubomir Bratić , Therese Kaufmann , Daniela Koweindl and Gerald Raunig , described "the carelessness with which the publisher puts a central cultural-political instrument of her advocacy work at disposal" as "extremely strange".
In September 2014, some of the former employees of the Kulturrisse presented the zero number of a new magazine: Kamion . This first edition had the programmatic title: The Uprising of the Displaced . This edition contained texts by Paul Huah , Isabell Lorey , Chantal Mouffe , Stevphen Shukaitis , Felix Stalder and Tom Waibel as well as the Traficantes de Sueños and an anonymous Iranian collective. The first issue of the new magazine appeared in June 2015 and was entitled Off the Circles of Racism .
