Abstract
Cultural freedom in the arts is not simply a formalized battle between institutionalized constraints and supports. The content of the battle is art; consequently the struggle is meaningful. Constraint, be it of the marketplace, the state, or the superego, is a stimulus for symbolic liberation and this is meaningfully embodied in superior art.' Thus the system of repression channels symbolic liberation and therefore, when an old repressive system is transformed, an art product can lose its meaning or have its meanings transformed. The movement of a cultural product from one system of repression to another graphically demonstrates this. An important contemporary case in point is the movement of artists from the political east to the political west.
