Democratization Through "Cancel Culture" -Three Levels of Artistic Freedom

Résumé

While 'cancel culture' is commonly regarded as limiting freedom of speech and artistic freedom, this article proposes a new understanding of 'cancel culture' as emancipatory norm-setting that is key for democratization. On a non-governmental level of the self-regulation of the art world, the argument for artistic freedom ignores the fact that art is permeated by power. The introduction of 'politically correct' norms leads to a justified redistribution of such power. On a parastatal level of public broadcasting and state cultural funding, neutrality is necessary but should be understood materially to include marginalized voices. Restrictions of freedom of speech and artistic freedom do occur on the state-level of hate-speech regulation. Here, the danger of a potential shift from emancipatory regulation to a harmful restriction is particularly virulent, as a discussion of the German BDS ban shows.
