Humanističke znanosti između neoliberalne globalizacije i kritike eurocentrizma
The Humanities between Neoliberal Globalization and the Critique of Eurocentrism

Summary/Abstract: In the vortex of academic capitalism, the marginalization of humanities represents a peculiar case. Besides subjugation to principles and criteria of utilitarianism and positivism, their precariousness has been aggravated by means of their taxonomic separation from social sciences. Nevertheless, the deconstructionist task of the new humanities is not conceivable without the permanent transgressions of prescribed academic borders. Namely, the genealogy of discursive structures of humanities is possible only through the prism of their involvement in the historical genesis of actual power structures. In other words, the new philosophy of present/history has been called for. It should operate as a holistic framework for the investigations of the simultaneous developments not only of capitalism, colonialism and the Eurocentric world system, but of the main categories of modern humanities as well. Following Vattimo’s interpretation of Heidegger’s concept of Verwindung, this project inserts the diagnosis and prospective of humanities within the more adequate horizon of Dussel’s “planetary paradigm”.
