Kriza modernosti – nekoliko odgovora od Liotara do Vitgenštajna i Balarda
The Crisis of Modernity – a Few Answers from Lyotard to Wittgenstein and Ballard

Summary/Abstract: Once again the crises of modernity becomes actual because of the transitive nature of current situation in contemporary art (the postmodern is still a valid regulatory principle). Comparing classical texts of Lyotard (Jean-François Lyotard) and Habermas (Jirgen Habermas), with Rancière’s (Jacques Rancière) contemporary perspectives on aesthetics and politics – I will try to recontextualise Lyotard’s thesis on the necessity of rewriting modernity (and the modern) through return to original modernity (ie. avant-garde practices) which brought Lyotard closer to Rancière’s interpretation of the avant-garde. With reference on The Philosophical Investigations of Ludwig Wittgenstein, I will also examine connection between Rancière’s aesthetics and analytic philosophy and – in the case of literature of James Graham Ballard – try to show how critique of the modern works in practice (ie. how Ballard brought concept into neo-avantgarde literature).
