Summary/Abstract: The idea of this collection is to return to the place where everyone left, in accordance with the ancient idea that the goal is where we left off. This should also be understood as an attempt to restore the voice of those who were forcibly taken away from them more than 33 years ago on the basis of false accusations. It all began in May 1981 with the publication of a special issue of the university journal Vidici entitled Dictionary of Technology, which was already ideologically anathematized in political forums and the mainstream media at the beginning of the following year, 1982, based on anonymous analysis.

- Summary/Abstract:Conceptual production of the journal magazine Vidici (Horizons), particularly its thematic issue Dictionary of Technology, represents the cultural content that preserves the sparkle in understanding the technological aspects of social and mental alienation and reification. Even today it has not lost its ideological and theoretical relevance. It allows a more accurate interpretation and a better understanding of the ideological trends as well as political and cultural events at the University of Belgrade in the first years after the death of Josip Broz Tito. Time period which is marked as an early post-Titoism (1980–1983) has been explored poorly, and many interesting and significant events from the past were suppressed by the subsequent dramatic historical events. Special actuality of Dictionary has been given by the harsh ideological criticism exposed in the form of Analysis of Dictionary of Technology that appeared as anonym material used by political forums and mainstream media to controvert and ban Dictionary. While the authors of Dictionary, based on metaphorical and allegorical insights, tried to get insight into the forthcoming crisis of the Yugoslav society, composers of Analysis wanted to defend ideologically outlined stripe blindly.

- Keywords:Dictionary of Technology; Heraclitus; damnatio memoriae; technology; modernity; history; post-modernism; neo-Platonism
- Summary/Abstract:Based on two readings, one from the editorial board of the journal Theoria and other from the collective writers of Analysis of the ideological orientation, this paper tries, from the distance of the time lost, to make third reading of Dictionary of Technology. It is founded on Heracleitos’ concept of hewing of illusions that is comprehended, in the context of quarrel among “antiques” and “moderns“, against the concepts of technology, modernization, history and cognitive Ego. In that framework it has beenlooked for the “fifth essence” of the Dictionary of Technology as well as forthe reason why it is immediately after the publishing in 1982 politically condemned and proscribed, and subjected to the institute of damnatio memoriae

- Keywords:conceptual praxes; postmodern romanticism; neorealism; marxism; mysticism
- Summary/Abstract:The paper deals with a problem of historical positioning of arts with anti-communist aims in Yugoslavian culture during the ’80s. The case of Dictionary of Technology has been seen as paradigmatic for current comprehension of the nature of a Belgrade new wave subculture of that period, particularly understanding of its leading role in the last ten years of Tito’s Yugoslavia: its mystical ideas, affirmation of Early-Christian doctrines mixed with punk attitudes and ideas of Zen Buddhism, awakening of new bourgeois spirit and the like. In a word, Dictionary of Technology represents a very special case of a postmodern turnover – “postmodern romanticism”, as once Sreten Ugričić has named this cultural phenomenon.

- Keywords:Dictionary of Technology; Paulo Freire; Claude Levi-Strauss; the revolutionary pedagogy; history; Boys; dehumanization; mirror
- Summary/Abstract:The author examines the pedagogical interpretation and contribution of Dictionary of Technology (published in 1981) and critical revolutionary pedagogy of Paulo Freire and his followers, Henry Giroux and Peter McLaren. A comparative reflection on Dictionary of Technology and Pedagogy of the Oppressed, the most renowned book by Paulo Freire, is possible due to the clear effort of both works directed against the dehumanization and conversion of the pedagogical process into technology. Freire sees educational process as a simulacrum of the banking system while Dictionary of Technology sees it, very closely, but more generally, as the predominance of illusion, no matter who oppresses whom. The illusion would exist even in a world without a relationship of dominance, because the dismissal of oppression will not liberate us from history.

- Keywords:language metaphysics; selfhood; philosophy; science; technology; politics
- Summary/Abstract:This paper reconsiders an individual’s attitude towards philosophy, theology, science, technology, politics... In the first part, it establishes a free singularity in essence of language metaphysics against an empty logical I in essence of conceptual metaphysics, with a view on some Serbian language peculiarities. It then suggests that, so far, almost all sciences and philosophy place an individual in an inferior position for the sake of something senior; whereas, in religion it is, in most cases, the other way around. Despite the fact that entire practical life implies a free individual, natural science reduces everything free and individually animate to general and necessarily inanimate. In its final part, this paper deals with the fundamental theses of Dictionary of Technology, revealing that in fact, technological mind subdues a particular individual by the means of science, philosophy and art. At the very end of the paper, practical philosophy is instituted through supra-historical, supra-technological and substantive personality.

- Summary/Abstract:Dictionary of Technology, a multilayered philosophical-artistic work, that has, in its autonomous way, indicated the problem of technology which has been pulsing in all periods of society up to this time, in different contexts and meanings, can be read from a multitude of different perspectives. One of them is certainly a classical-technological, interesting as an opportunity to examine patency through time of the basic concepts of Dictionary of Technology, since the creation of the document entitled Analysis to the moment of modern technology.

- Summary/Abstract:Dictionary of technology, in its printed form (of 33 years ago), of course, exists today as well, as its digital pdf variant does. However, memories do not exist, because they never exist, they are always given, they are to be reconstructed, brought back from nowhere, like analyses are to be brought back as well. Memories are necessarily new or they do not exist. Undoubtedly, 33 years include a series of recontextualization that move the sense of what was ‘’originally’’ created in those years. There is a saying ‘’History is written by the victors’’. It was written 33 years ago against Dictionary of Technology by someone who considered himself a victor, and is recognized today as the defeated one. But right now, are not we all a liitle bit defeated?! That is why we need a technology of not only the victorious but also the defeated reading. I think that Dictionary of Technology from Vidici in its first sentence offers possible (if enough?) solution for this aporia: ‘’It is written for life, selfhood and will, and not for the words it contains.’’

- Keywords:power; system; technological culture; transformation
- Summary/Abstract:The events that took place more than three decades ago upon publishing Dictionary of Technology are used here for broader examination of societal relations in an anthropological perspective. The connection with the crisis of social system appears when the control of “enemies” turns into the conflict that focuses on their elimination. This attitude corresponds to rituals of tribal cultures which cyclically renew their identity by symbolically ostracizing a “scapegoat”. Modern development of technological culture makes actual forms of symbolical relations disappear, concomitantly ostracizing designated “enemies” on the real, existential level. The experience of events related to Dictionary of Technology stresses the fruitlessness of such approach, not only from humane perspective, but also from the perspective of system, as mechanical suppression of different opinions leads to neglecting of ideas which could initiate social transformation, thus preventing the breakdown of the whole society.

- No. of Pages:10
- Keywords:technology; colorful fascism; Family of Clear Streams; Eric Hobsbawm; censure; inquisition; deceit; alienation; technological fundamentalism
- Summary/Abstract:Dictionary of Technology indicates that humanity has plunged into intense dubiety of technological progress: humanity, spirituality and arts are disappearing. Industrial development has not done anything to make human soul feel better; contrariwise, it is increasingly becoming an industrial product. There is a possibility of finding a rebellion against such an alienated world in the gestural effectiveness of an individual who struggles for the planet, humanity and cosmos. The paradigms of such a rebellion will create small oases (islands) with Renaissance-like sweep such as Dictionary and Family of Clear Streams are. Among pessimistic facts and optimistic hopes, a child-poet should raise their voice.
