Hermeneutička borba phōné–logos: Rancière i kritika socrealističkog logocentrizma
The Phōné–Logos Hermeneutic Struggle: Rancière and Criticism of Socialist Realism’s Logocentrism

Summary/Abstract: The paper is based on analysis of the relationship between two hermeneutic notions, logos and phōné, in Jacques Rancière’s philosophy, and their application to the socialist realism’s criticism. His well-known discourse on politics and democracy as a disagreement Rancière bases on the hermeneutical clash between the two terms, expressed in a social and political struggle for political rights and the recognition of existence in turning away from logos. The Order of the logos requires hermeneutical identification with the set of recognized terms and represents, what Rancière calls, the police logic. On the other hand, the freedom from the logos is set as a request for subjecting, expressed in a voice (phōné), which is raised against words, laws, rules (logos), and therefore represents political logic. In order not to remain on the theoretical level, we present the mentioned logocentrism pattern during the Croatian socialist realism as an example of Rancière’s consideration on autocratic logocentrism. On the example of literary works of Šegedin, Desnica and Parun, who wrote their own logos differently than allowed, a socialist realism’s critique is presented as an example of Rancière’s analysis of the police logic under the logos of which permits only an identical hermeneutic discourse.
