Balkanizam duha

Author(s): Vintilă Mihăilescu / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Bilo je to ranih 1990ih, u Briselu, srcu Evropske unije. Tamo sam prvi put čuo izraz: »nacije evropske vokacije«. Vocation, calling, Beruf… nemačka reč je najizražajnija, a znači u isto vreme »vokacija« i »profesija«. Neke nacije su, prema tome, evropske po vokaciji (ukorenjenoj, valjda, ne u božijoj volji, kao što je slučaj sa Veberovim protestantima, nego u njihovoj istoriji); kod takvih nacija biti Evropljanin je neka vrsta profesije. A šta je sa drugim nacijama, koje s njima ne dele ovaj Beruf? I ko to odlučuije o tome ko ima a ko nema takav Beruf? Ali ono što me najviše intrigira jeste šta Beruf može da znači u ovim slučajevima.

Mračna intimnost: mape, identiteti, činovi identifikacije

Author(s): Aleksander Kiossev / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Ono što je odrednici »Balkan« zajedničko sa ostalim klišeima jeste svojevrsni automatski esencijalizam – to je geografski metonim koji pretpostavlja postojanje negeografskog referenta. U političkim raspravama, novinskim napisima i svakodnevnim razgovorima, ovo je očigledna, nesporna pretpostavka: upotreba imena ukazuje da Balkan postoji kao region sa izvesnim identitetom uspostavljenim uz pomoć izvesnog broja zajedničkih karakteristika.

Eros identiteta

Author(s): Ivaylo Ditchev / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Balkansko imaginarno iznenada je ponovo iskrslo nakon završetka Hladnog rata. Region je ranije bio podeljen između različitih tipova fantazama. Neki su to videli kao potvrdu komunističkih teorija čudotvorne industrijalizacije i urbanizacije nazadnih ruralnih društava. Drugi su na jug poluostrva projektovali plemenitu odbranu slobodnog sveta od sovjetskog varvarizma.

Karl Kraus

Author(s): Walter Benjamin / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Stari bakrorezi imaju glasnika, što pritrčava vičući, razbarušene kose, mašući u rukama listom, koji pun rata i kuge, ubilačkog pokliča i bola, požara i poplava širi na sve strane »najnovije vesti«. Novine u tom smislu i značenju koje ta reč ima kod Šekspira, jesu Baklja. Pune izdaje, zemljotresa, otrova i požara iz mundusa intelligibilisa. Mržnja kojom progone nepregledno gamižući novinarski soj, pre je vitalna nego moralna, slična onoj sa kakvom se praotac okomio na naraštaj izopačenih kepeca-obešenjaka proizašao iz njegovog semena.

Politika kulture, ideologijsko mapiranje , zasjeci

Author(s): Biljana Kašić / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

The author analyzes cultural changes that took place during the socialist period in Croatia – in the context of Yugoslavia as it was at the time, especially from 1945 to 1952. In this regard, she attempted to sketch out certain questions and cultural conflicts which were operative in the ideological framework of the time, such as partymindedness, that is to say revolutionary tendencies in culture as the public characteristic of culture. Party-mindedness is demonstrated by execution of the ≪strict dictate of the party line≫; the criteria of truth and progress, or meta-aesthetic criteria, were characterized by ≪specific≫ knowledge, ideology, creativity. The purpose of party-mindedness was not only to bring ideology to its fulfillment, but its partiality was demanded, and the goal of the communist party in power was to implement its muli-layered ideology in practice, or purely in terms of intent. Often the party political principle was incompatible with totalitarian methods. The author thus relied on a few basic points of opposition within Croatian political culture and culture generally. The author looked at three paradigmatic examples: the symbolic structure of South Slav unity, the relationship to tradition, and the orientation to cultural thought in Europe, contained within the metaphorical saying ≪suspicious west≫.

Transition from Post-Communism: South-East Europe between Nationalism, Multiculturalism and Globalization

Author(s): Mislav Kukoč / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

As some other new notions and phenomena such as clash of civilizations and bioethics, notions post-communism, multiculturalism and globalization has become known only quite recently, during the last decade of the 20th Century. The term post-communism contains the prefix ‘post’ which implies rather negative definition of a global society which comes ‘after communism’, or something which is ‘no-longer-communist-but-notyet- anything-else’. On the other hand, the concept post-communism is one of the current waves of various post-isms which define the contemporary epoch in a negative sense: post-modernism or post-modernity, post-industrialism or post-industrial society, post-capitalism, post-historicism or the end of history etc.

Badania bilingwizmu (i wielojęzyczności) wybitnych nosicieli języka w przestrzeni języka polskiego: nowa subdomena historii języka?

Author(s): Bronisława Ligara / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The paper proposes that research on bilingualism of creators of literature – both their personalities and their texts in Polish and in other languages – be considered a separate subfield in the linguistic history of Polish. Some of the problems that emerge are: choice of the language for the creative output, the author’s participation in three communicative communities, transfer and exchange of elements from the space of one language/culture into the space of another language/culture, bilingual speech. We propose a reformulation of the attitude that researchers of Polish linguistic history currently take towards bilingualism of prominent authors: perception of the phenomenon as co-participation of bilingual authors in different cultures, and their contribution to the creation of cross-cultural and even trans-cultural discourse.

THE POSITION OF THE ROMANIES IN A LOCAL COMMUNITY

Author(s): Emilija Cicić / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The Romanies in Kragujevac have a destiny similar to those in other cities of Serbia: as a group, they are at the most extreme margin. Living isolated from the social trends, in an almost parallel world, they do not have any social power. The society doesn’t show interest in them and their problems, while only some individuals have an understanding of civil and collective rights. Many Romanies are not able to realize the basic civil and collective rights because they are not aware of them. More often than not, the institutions in charge, which should protect their rights, tend to reject them, rather than provide them with necessary help. The position of Romanies has got additionally worse with the wide-spread pauperization of society. A substantial number of Romanies who had been working in “Zastava” were fired. They are now either registered with the Bureau of Employment, or selling goods at the flea market. Some categories of the Romany population are in an extremely difficult position: refugees from Kosovo, deportees from the Western countries, and child beggars without parental guidance or care.

Author(s): Katarina Crnjanski-Vlajčić / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

U radu su obrađeni ključni aspekti ostvarivanja prava pripadnika nacionalnih manjina u Bosni i Hercegovini. Prikaz osnovnih prava nacionalnih manjina garantovanih međunarodnim dokumentima dat je u oblasti društveno-političke participacije i ostvarivanja prava na kulturnu autonomiju (pravo na njegovanje sopstvene kulture, pravo na obrazovanje, informisanje i službenu upotrebu maternjeg jezika). iako u ovom radu nisu posebno isticani problemi nacionalnih manjina na prostoru Bosne i Hercegovine, jasno je da postojeći sistem zaštite njihovih prava ostavlja prostor za dalje unapređenje.

Град и миграции - визуализации на пространството

Author(s): Meglena Zlatkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The paper problematizes on the urban spaces, analyzing the discourses of: (national) majority, minorities, the newcomers (migrants), the others, emphasizing on the forms of visualization. The case of the towns of Tsarevo and Pomorie in Bulgaria and Edirne in Turkey are presented by the two migrant groups that have crossed the Bulgarian-Turkish border and settled in particular urban neighbourhoods. The visual approach in the urban anthropology requires a specific methodology starting from the material environment of the city and its public spaces to the social and cultural relationships of the urban inhabitants and the invisible aspects of their symbolic layer as memory and heritage. The paper analyzes the strategies and valorization and legitimation of the heritage of migration and heirs, who trace their places of everyday life and festivity. The fieldwork research was done among the heirs of the so called “Thracian Bulgarians”, living in Tsarevo and Pomorie and the Turks, born in Bulgaria and resettled in Turkey in Edirne.

Strateško istraživanje u doba društvene krize - Mladi Friedrich Engels u Manchesteru

Author(s): Michael Brie / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

In the article I discuss the process of Engels’ search for a social alternative in the conditions of the pre-revolutionary crisis that struck Europe in the early 1940s. Twenty-two-year-old Engels became enthralled with it when he arrived in London in November, 1842. He was young, rebellious, of a brilliant mind and exploratory spirit. He belonged to a generation whose youth coincided with the culmination of the crisis of the Restoration period. Against this background, I want to look at the period that Engels spent between November 1842 and April 1845 in Manchester, where he arrived from his parents’ home in Barmen.

Fridrih Engels i seljaštvo

Author(s): Srđan Lj. Šljukić,Marica N. Šljukić / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

While K. Marx, when it is about agrarian and rural, mostly dealt with the questions of commercial agriculture, like land rent, work force, etc, his associate F. Engels focused on social position, fate and role of peasantry in (past and expected) revolutions. In this paper we give a review of Engels’s views on peasantry, with an analysis and a critique. With his descriptions of the social position of the German, the French and the Russian peasantry, and of rural commune as one of the traditional institutions of rural society, Engels contributed to sociology. His claims that peasantry must disappear and that it is not capable to protect and promote their own interests, exert a significant influence upon the political practice in the socialist societies of the XX century.

Zemljani put revolucije. Seljačko pitanje u Engelsovim kasnim radovima

Author(s): Bojan Vranić / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

The paper deals with the peasant question in the socialist thought of the second half 19th century, with special reference to the work of Friedrich Engels. In the classic socialist literature, the peasant question has long been marked as a marginal question of property, as can best be seen from Marx’s analysis in Louis Bonaparte’s Eighteenth Brimer. Almost half a century later, Engels approaches the peasant question from another angle, considering the problem of small peasants as a cultural, not just an economic problem. The paper will show that Engels’ analysis of the peasant question opened new avenues for socialist theory, which leads to a revision of the classical doctrine of the proletarian revolution and suggests an evolutionary path of social change.

Kritika kritične kritike i Sveta porodica: Protiv potiskivanja — za povratak zbilji

Author(s): Katarina Peović / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

The paper deals with a relation between historical materialism and idealism – while proving idealism to be a profoundly conservative point of view – proving the thesis through an example of the contemporary political discourse of Zoran Milanović, and his so-called “liberal progressiveness”. Holy Family – Critique of Critical Critique can be read via contemporary examples that supplement materialistic interpretation of liberalism/idealism with the psychoanalytical interpretation of suppression of class conflict. A nature of liberal interpretation of the world vis-à-vis materialistic insights (undoubtedly and with clearness) epistemological and not only by facts – can be seen from The Condition of the Working Class in England, a study of young Engels that will be taken as a foundation of the materialistic understanding of the modernity and related figure of an unaccommodated man. A fundamental possibility of an overcoming of dialectical paradox in the figure of a proletarian as an unaccommodated man (while avoiding idealistic “displacements”), can be found in the development of technology as a possibility of overcoming of the capitalistic mode of production, as a foundation of development and personal freedom that can be achieved only in the community.

„A ta piosenka jest zrobiona z tego miasta odpadków” – śmieci i resztki, mainstream i nisza w twórczości muzycznej Pablopavo

Author(s): Beata Kiszka-Pytel / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article touches upon the topic of cultural transformations, on the basis of the analysis of song lyrics written by Paweł Soltys, performing under the stage pseudonym Pablopavo. Moreover, it elaborates in more detail on the separate, interconnected and overlapping circles of issues, such as: the relationship between the mainstream and niche phenomena in culture, garbage, waste and remnants in culture, or money and the lack thereof in the world of wealth or nothingness. The observations lead to the conclusion that in his musical activity, the artist combines various, sometimes extreme social orders and worlds, including all kinds of phenomena taken from the mainstream and low art.

Sustainable consumption

Author(s): Barbara Borusiak / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The aim of the current chapter is to present the essence of sustainable consumption andits basic rules: Reduce-Reuse-Recycle. Minimalism and sharing economy were presented as the manifestation of the Reduce rule. Reuse requires distribution systems which will give access to preowned products (in a broader scope), thus, they will provide products with a second life. This may be provided by alternative retail formats which are oriented towards the sale of second-hand products. Some of these formats, especially online applications, are becoming quite popular—their number, as well as the amount of their customers is rapidly growing. Also, traditional mainstream retailers have become involved in second-hand product sales.

Social Factors Influencing the Acquisition of the Romanian Language by Students Belonging to a Local Community Hungarian Minority

Author(s): Anikó Erzsébet Fügedy,Gavril Flora / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Research on language acquisition is a central theme in sociolinguistic research. Contemporary social, economic and political processes affect the life of communities and the languages what they speak. Globalization, migration and the enlargement of the European Union can significantly change the role and the future of majority and minority languages. In this research, we aim to reveal the family level language choice strategies of the Hungarian community in the small town of Margitha (Bihor County, Romania), discussing the role of family related social framework that positively or negatively influences the motivation of minority students to acquire knowledge of the Romanian language. For this purpose, we used both quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches. The results of research confirm that in multi-ethnic communities perhaps the most important, however at the same time the most vulnerable component of ethnic identity is the linguistic identity, which plays a key role in shaping the cultural landmarks and contents that determine the social integration of the individual. The positive family effects of socialization with the Hungarian language can be observed mostly in the ethnically homogeneous family. However, if one of the spouses is ethnic Romanian, the dominant language of communication within the family is more likely to be the Romanian language.
