| Description | The article discusses the conditions for group-based creativity and style in the state-socialist production system of Czechoslovakia in the second half of the 1950s and the 1960s. My aim is to describe the manner in which collaborative creative activities were organised under a regime which designated the state as the sole official producer. I will also look at the way informal social networks allowed distinct group styles to take shape. I focus on organisational solutions which were introduced in the mid-1950s in an effort to strike a balance between top-down centralized control on the one hand, and creative freedom as a necessary prerequisite for product differentiation on the other. |
