Appearance of Creative Industries in Transcendental Sphere: Effect of Creative Industries on Colonization of the Lifeworld

The concept of creative industry has begun to find a place both in scientific literature and everyday life as an obligation of over-technical-capitalist societies in the 1990s. According to the Habermasian approach considering that everything has double-meaning, it is clear that productions of creative industries produced by using the creativity and culture could have positive and negative dimensions. This study sought to draw attention to the possible disruptive effects of creative industries on cultural-normative structures which coordinate communicative action oriented to ‘understanding’ in the social sphere. In order to reinforce this argument, the study proceeded in line with the concept of ‘lifeworld’ originally developed by Husserl and the ‘colonization of the lifeworld’ theorized by Habermas, and was partly based on the thoughts of the Frankfurt School. Briefly, our study focused on how creative industries would influence such basic components of the lifeworld as cultural reproduction, social integration and socialization, and on how to coordinate communicative action and how to potentially colonize the lifeworld
