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.

DaDa Gramofon (o upadima realnog ili o The galaxy of events – galaksiji događaja)

What Relations are possible to the galaxy of events and coincidence of meeting? There are a different approach from the artist, like Duchamp, novelist Joyce, to the philosopher Derrida. Each of them had a different solutions, but not as a final or universal, but rather as a game in a different context.

Derridin potpis na performativu savremenog performansa

Author(s): Ana Vujanović / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

In the paper I consider Derrida’s influence(s) on contemporary performing arts theory and practice. More specific, the topical subject of the paper are influences and significance of Derrida’s re-reading of theory of performative (as it is put within analytic philosophy, and philosophy of ordinary language in particular – e.g. in Austin, Strowson, and Searl’s work) for/in performing arts theory and practice from 1970s till nowadays. The point of departure for the process I consider is Derrida’s text Signature, event, context (1971), where he makes a brilliant profound deconstruction of the very conceptual system that enables, as it is presupposed, unique continual communicational context, and happy realization of a performative utterance in the frame of it. Thence he achieves replacement of the elements in the binary pair ‘literal – parasitic’ performative, deconstructing common sense propositions of the ‘seriousness’ of communication in ‘ordinary life’ in difference to ‘stage’ situation. His re-reading enters the field of performing arts, where becomes integrated in its basic concepts and practices, such as concept of performance itself. Thanks to Derrida, new paradigms of performance’s performatives in its cultural and social context replace former naive intentions of direct impacts, and their already-yet failures. Nowadays, one of the dominant thesis of performance’s performative within performing arts studies is that performance is relative autonomous but necessairly inner social practice, whose intervention is first of all illocutory act of artistic discourse in the network of social discourses – as one of them, and whose politics is therefore nothing than its work with the discourse with all its ideological implications itself.

Kalem Levinas

Author(s): Branko Romčević / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

This paper deals with Derrida’s introduction of Levinas’s concept of trace into the thinking of différance. Since his earliest reading of that concept – in Violence and Metaphysics – was highly negative and exclusive, there obviously happened some change of perspective. In order to explain it, the author reached for Derrida’s idea of writing as grafting, considering his earlier refusal of Levinas as the “silent” entry of graft “Levinas” in his writing.

À propos: Marx u strujanju dekonstruktivnog čitanja

Author(s): Alpar Lošonc / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

This article focuses on an analysis and evaluation of the importance of Marx’s theory may have for Derrida. First, it is argued that the deconstructive reading of Marx’s texts is to be seen as the way toward the articulation of the politics and ethics in Derrida’s work. Second, the article maintains that the interpretation of Marx’s critical theory depends on the Derrida’s dealings with Levinas. I emphasize especially the significance of the phenomenology in this context, in fact, the importance of the Derrida’s dealing with the phenomenology of otherness. Third, I critically analyse in particular the concepts of absolute hospitality and messianistic coming. The conclusion is the next: Marx is, nolens volens, treated in Derrida in the light of the contradiction between ethics and politics.

Filozofeme i aporije tranzicione pravde

Author(s): Đorđe D. Sibinović / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

With a synergy between UN agencies, governments and global civil society sector that managed to build a number of international institutions of criminal justice in the 1990s and the challenges to this commitment in the 2000s, in this paper we ask about sustainability and viable mechanisms to support the work of international courts. Do we in present conditions have a general responsibility to support these institutions even as by-standers to distant conflicts, as opposed to specific responsibilities to our political communities that are protagonists in conflict? We address this question through an examination of Jacques Derrida’s texts that discuss transitional justice issues including the concepts of forgiveness, responsibility, cosmopolitanism and its relation to international institutions. The effort to create a new language of solidarity of global publics in support of international justice, as a sole mechanism securing sustainability of its institutions, following Derrida, will have to seek a significant role for the exercise of philosophy in this project.

Dekonstrukcija i normativnost

Author(s): Aleksandar Dobrijević / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

The author re-examines so-called “normativity problem” in the light of some Derrida’s provisional definitions of the concept of deconstruction. Alleged unbreakable connection between the elementary Derridian conception and the concept of normativity here is criticized with help of “open question argument”.

The City That Is Not: Apophasis and Anglo-Saxon Urbanism

Author(s): Rafał Borysławski / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The article discusses two Old English cases of walking through cities that no longer exist and the implications that such visions entail for early medieval philosophical perspectives. The first part proposes a conjectural vision of the city of Rome from around the time of the visits of young Prince Alfred of Wessex, future King Alfred the Great, in 853 and in 855 A.D. The second part is constructed upon an understanding of one of the Exeter Book elegies, “The Ruin”, presenting musings on whatever remained from another Roman city, conceivably identifiable with Aqua Sulis, that is, Bath. The reflections of the former encounter with the city may be, perhaps, found in the Meters that accompany Alfred-inspired translation of Boethius’s “De consolatione philosophiae”, and the city present in “The Ruin” is another example of the excidio urbis theme. Together, the two visions confirm the Old English metaphysical value of the city that becomes its negative, that is, the city that is formed by absences, lacunae, and vestiges of its past. Seen in this light, the “cities that are not” are presented here as instances of apophatic thinking, akin to that of Pseudo-Dionysius, whereby more can be expressed by questions and negative statements than by factual testimonials. The proposed Anglo-Saxon walks through ruined cities paradoxically offer an augmentation of reality and an existential practice in the elusiveness of signification extending beyond urban boundaries.

MISLITI RAT

Author(s): Raymond Aron / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Možda ću, u okviru ovog pokušaja sveobuhvatne interpretacije, moći da odgovorim na toliko puta ponavljano pitanje o Klauzevicevom metodu i njegovom poreklu i srodnosti sa Kantovim i Hegelovim metodom. Prethodnom odeljku prvog toma svoje knjige dao sam naziv »dijalektika«. Dakle, ne dovodim u pitanje tvrdnju da su Klauzevicevo mišljenje i metod u izvesnoj meri dijalektički. Ostaje nam samo da saznamo - u kojem smislu.

RAT U ZALIVU SE NIJE DOGODIO

Author(s): Jean Baudrillard / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Pošto je ovaj rat bio dobijen unaprijed, nikad nećemo saznati kako bi izgledao da je postojao. Nikad nećemo saznati kako bi izgledao Iračanin koji se borio i bio u prilici da se bori. Nikad nećemo saznati kako bi izgledao Amerikanac koji se borio i bio u prilici da bude pobijeđen. Vidjeli smo kako izgleda ultra-moderni proces udara, paralize, lobotomije eksperimentalnog neprijatelja, bez mogućeg odgovora. Ali, to nije rat. Isto kao što 10.000 tona bombi dnevno nije dovoljno da bi to bio rat. Isto kao što direktan prenos preko CNN, realno vrijeme informisanja nije dovoljno da rat učini autentičnim. Pamtimo Capricorn One, kad je na svim svjetskim televizijama direktno prenošen let rakete sa ljudskom posadom na Mars, koji se dogodio samo u jednom pustinjskom studiju.

Debata z perspektywy archeologii gatunków – od praktyki do teorii

Author(s): Agnieszka Budzyńska-Daca / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This preliminary study might be classified as an academic inquiry from the perspective of genre archaeology. In this inquiry, the author attempts to search for the genre roots of debate as a form which shaped the public discourse of that time. To this end, the author presents various practices of debate in Athens at the times of Pericles and Aristotle. Further, she presents Aristotle’s opinion regarding the usefulness of rhetoric and debate for dispute resolution in a democracy as well as his genre division of the forms of public speaking. Lastly, the author discusses several educational practices thanks to which those genre models could have been solidified and passed on to the next generations.

Author(s): Mariyana Kuzmanska / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

This text explains and emphasize on the methods which the presidential-candidates in Bulgaria use to convince their audience in what they say in their speeches. In the following text it is shown which methods are effective and should be used while speaking in front of the audience and which methods are ineffective and better be avoided by the speakers. How these methods reflect the listeners, why it is important to use them when necessary and how to classify them by their importance for both speakers and audience is the main purpose of this paper.

Conflicting Methodological Metaphors Pertaining to Sameness and Difference: Eliade and Deleuze in Dialogue

Author(s): Carl Olson / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In this paper, I propose to examine the postmodern challenge to hermeneutics exercised by historians of religions by using the hermeneutical method of Mircea Eliade as an example of an approach that has been used in Religious Studies scholarship. This hermeneutical method is compared to the postmodern approach of Gilles Deleuze and special attention will be focused on the importance of difference among postmodernists. We will witness that Eliade’s approach to the study of religion is shaped by fundamentals of Enlightenment philosophy and its representational mode of thinking that is evident in his use of the phenomenological method, intentionality, intuition, morphological classification, and his stress upon order over chaos instead of the simulacra discussed by numerous postmodern thinkers. It is possible, of course, to also find romantic thinking and the influence of Eastern Orthodox religiosity on Eliade’s thinking, but such considerations can be suspended for another paper. The phenomenological aspects of Eliade’s method presuppose a metaphysical stance and a coherence theory of truth, which are diametrically opposed to the overall postmodern position of Gilles Deleuze and his emphasis on difference. Moreover, this paper is narrowly focused on Eliade’s morphological classification expressed by the metaphor of a tree, which is compared to Deleuze’s rhizomatic method and its reliance on the metaphor of the root. This essay also compares the two thinkers on the problem of time and history because of their relationship to the hermeneutics of the two thinkers. Moreover, this paper examines the presuppositions of both positions and the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches for the future study of religion.

Between Colonial Laws and Religious Traditions: Hindu Women in the Nineteenth Century India

Author(s): Maria-Daniela Pomohaci / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In order to understand social reforms regarding women’s rights in nineteenth century India, one needs to begin by taking a look at the ideas of “rule of law” and at the “rule of colonial difference”, which animated legislation initiatives in the field of gender and discrimination in colonial India.
