Published by: Institut za filozofiju i društvenu teoriju
Keywords: university discourse; postmodern capitalism; crisis; restructuration of structure; antisystemic subject.

Summary/Abstract: The main intention of this text is to present three inter-connected projections of the current global crisis of the postmodern capitalism: discursive, sociological and cultural/political. Discursive projection is considering the crisis of the postmodern capitalism through the perspective of the discursive paradigmatic restructuring (social link), sociological projection is giving interpretation of the postmodern social economy paradigm (society of knowledge), whilst the cultural/political projection is discussing the postmodern ideological forms of everyday life (cultural capitalism). In the last instance, all three are raising a question: Is there any good alternative?
