Politicisation of creative works (works of art, musical, literary and scientific works) may be understood in various ways. Firstly, it may be seen as a synonym of the political nature of such works, being a consequence and an expression of the intention of a politically committed author. Secondly, it may be read as attributing a political dimension and meaning to a work, by its audience. Thirdly, it may be understood as a situation where specific political groups instrumentally use the social reception and impact of a work in their political game, propaganda campaigns and indoctrination. Fourthly, it may be seen as the entanglement of a work (and its author) in political divisions and conflicts, due to the circumstances in which the work was created or became popular, or due to the author’s personal connections with political figures, institutions or circles. The notion of politicisation has often a negative overtone – as a synonym of a situation in which political actors interfere with the artistic or scientific process (by compromising its autonomy and creative freedom), and thus the essential criteria (aesthetic, artistic or methodological) are abandoned as a result of trivial programming driven by propaganda, indoctrination or pragmatic reasons.
