STRUKTURA BALKANSKOG DRUŠTVA

Author(s): Dinko Tomašić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 08/1993

Dugotrajno sporenje svjetskih sila oko Balkana i oprečne utjecaje bizantsko-otomanske i zapadnoeuropske civilizacije dodatno kompliciraju razilaženja u tradiciji i težnjama ratnički nastrojenih i vlasti željnih gorštaka te politički aktivnih ratara u dolinama i nizinama. Ovi uvjeti određuju ulogu vojske pa dovode do nasilja i političkih i društvenih nemira. Internacionalizacija jugoistočne Europe i jačanje njezine poljoprivrede i industrije trebala je okončati doba ratnika i dovesti do parlamentarne demokracije i stabilnosti.

SOCIAL ONTOLOGY: BUTLER VIA ARENDT VIA LOIDOLT

Author(s): Adriana Zaharijević / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

This short contribution is written on the occasion of the book discussion of Sophie Loidolt’s Phenomenology of Plurality: Hannah Arendt on Political Intersubjectivity (2018) at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory. It presents an attempt to read the two key notions Loidolt elaborates in her book – spaces of meaning and spaces of the public and private – from a critical perspective offered by Judith Butler’s taking up of Arendt’s work. Offering Butler’s conception of social ontology through several major points of contestation with Arendt, I argue against an all too simple reduction of her understanding of the political and normativity to poststructuralist ones.

Author(s): Agata Skowron‑Nalborczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 681/2020

Decyzja tureckiego sądu o przekształceniu Hagii Sofii w meczet tak naprawdę służy podkreślaniu wierności rządzących wobec mitycznej osmańskiej przeszłości i podtrzymuje pewien rodzaj turecko muzułmańskiego nacjonalizmu, mającego na celu odwrócenie procesu sekularyzacji państwa tureckiego.

MOORE’S LAW AND BEYOND–CONTINUITY AND INNOVATION IN MICRO AND NANO-ELECTRONICS Perspective of two different generations

Author(s): Mihai Brezeanu,Dan Dascălu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

This paper is, in a certain sense, a dialogue between generations. More precisely, the authors are describing in parallel how do they view the evolution of electronics based on semiconductor technology along the last decades. Then, each of them is presenting how the profession of an engineer working in this field has evolved since the first integrated electronic circuits have been fabricated. They are spanning the period 1965-2020, corresponding to the rise and fall of the famous Moore’s law, in fact an empirical relationship predicting (up to a certain point) the fast increase of complexity of digital integrated circuits. These tiny components have been providing the hardware support for digital information technology, fostering the third industrial revolution, based on computers, automation and communications. Today technology continues to evolve, requiring immense investments and a tremendous multidisciplinary effort, as we are speaking about digital transformation and the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0 concept).

TWO SIEGES, TWO EXPERIENCES

Author(s): Gojko Berić / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2020

I am eighty years of age and still enjoy the privilege of writing, as this text is witness. Ever since my wife died almost four years ago, I have lived by myself in a large apartment in a Austro- Hungarian building constructed on the eve of the Great War and located on the most popular street in Sarajevo, Ferhadija, a pedestrian zone in the centre of town. The windows in the two largest rooms have a view of Trebević, a legendary hill that enfolds the southern side of the city. It’s spring, but I cannot feel its scent because a tiny virus from Wuhan has me under house arrest, which the authorities have merely legalised through regulations requiring all citizens older than 65 to remain in so-called self-isolation. I don’t feel lonely. On nice days I open my windows wide, and, exposed to the beneficent action of the sun, I watch the rare passers-by in their masks and gloves. The isolation itself is bearable and for many even welcome. People are taking stock and dealing with things outstanding for years. Difficulties, fear, and uncertainty lurk outside your home’s walls, because nobody can say what is happening or how long it will last.

Osvrt na događaj preživjelog Fahrudina Muminovića

Author(s): Keith Doubt / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 4/2020

It is difficult to understand the executioners of the genocide in Srebrenica. What were they doing? Why were they doing it? What were they thinking? How could they have done what they did? In Srebrenica MCMXCV [2017], Emir Suljagić recounts a testimony from an executioner told to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia after a massacre near Srebrenica in July 1995: From that pile, that heap of dead bodies that did not resemble human bodies any more, a human being emerged. I said human being, but it was actually a boy, five or six years old. It was unbelievable. Unbelievable. A human being came out and started walking towards a path, a path along which men were standing, doing their job, carrying automatic rifles… And then, out of nowhere they all put their guns down and all of them were just paralysed. And it was only a child in front of them. . . . And this child was covered in the tissue and intestines of other humans . . . And this child emerged from the pile of executed people, calling: «Babo»…. this is their word for father. The boy said, «Babo, where are you?»

Polskie muzeum LGBTQIA

Author(s): Agnieszka Wiciak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2020

The article is a presentation of the virtual museum, which was established on June 6, 2018. It deals with historical topics related to the minority group called LGBTQIA. The museum was established as a consequence of archival activities undertaken by a collecting group called the Historical Club (from 2019 in the structures of the Q Foundation) that from the very beginning was engaged in the rescue operations of archives of the 1990s. Establishing a museum in a virtual form was associated with difficulties in establishing a stationary one and therefore this form of publicity was considered the most appropriate. So far, three virtual exhibitions have been released. The museum and the archive are focused on the goal of incorporating the history of the LGBTQIA community as a tool supporting people who discover or search for their identity and struggle in a painful way with themselves and their surroundings. The purpose of the archive itself is to collect materials unavailable online and which are at risk of irreversible loss, while the role of the museum is to popularize and reach as many recipients as possible. When creating exhibitions, there are many challenges, for example, ensuring that the content is safe for minors. Parallel to archival and museum works, recordings of the oral history of LGBT activists are made. An important issue is how the exhibitions are perceived by the community, not only LGBT but also heteronormative. Although the museum was established as a kind of PR for the archive, now both are full-fledged and have a specific role in the activities of the Historical Club.

Spiru Haret (1851-1912) - De la o teză de doctorat magistrală la reforma învăţământului românesc

Author(s): Eufrosina Otlăcan / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 5/2012

Thousands pages were written about the life, the works, scientific and social activity of Spiru Haret and especially about his role to be the reformer of the Romanian education. In this paper we try to point out the manner in which Haret underlines the importance of vocational education in his educational law and in his interventions in the Romanian Parliament.

Dok ispisujem ove pandemijske otiske, crneći postupno belinu ekrana, nisam siguran da li ću ih moći na kraju sa samopouzdanjem potpisati a još manje da li ćete u trenutku čitanja biti u mogućnosti da zabeleženo prepoznate. Sve je poljuljano! Nekadašnje izvesnosti su se isfronclale u puke zablude. Nepouzdanost je sveobuhvatna! [...]

Chinese Kung-fu Films and the Posthuman Daoism

Author(s): Wong Kin Yuen / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

This paper argues that Chinese- Kung-fu films are unique presentations of human movement as a system of bodily aesthetics. By adopting a Daoist aesthetics of yin-yang cosmology, martial artists perform the dictum by Zhuanzi’s “The myriad things come out of ji and go into ji”, with the character ji as some kind of the Deleuzian “desiring machine”. There we see a human-technicality convergence as characterized by a posthuman merger within the process of complex visuality, particularly presented through the cinematic form. Kung-fu performance on screen, therefore, affords a kind of natural cyborg intersectionality within what can be called a posthuman Daoism, a kind of commingling of the ancient and posthuman technics.

Fašizacija religije kao izdaja vjere: Psihopatologija etno-politizacije SPC

Author(s): Esad Bajtal / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 10/2021

The text starts from the experiential observation that, sometimes even some religions, with their national-fascist coquetry, betray the Faith and its moral postulates. That is, on the other hand, it is a question of defining fascism as a “philosophy of political monism” which derives its views from a single, for political purposes, life-humane principle. In this sense, the text considers any speech or action of exclusivity fascist, regardless of whether they find their support in religion, nation, race or skin color. That is, any other ideology of social one-sidedness that does not recognize and attack the Other and otherwise. Given the relationship between religion and fascism, historical experience shows that every fascism is religious: neither has religions resistant to fascism, nor does fascism choose religion. At the regional level, as the bloody war experience of the Greater Serbia aggression of the 1990s shows,the pathological process of fascism of religion has deeply affected the ethnoideological strata of the “heavenly people” and some high-ranking officials of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

A CDA Approach to Anti-Pandemic Protests

Author(s): Daniela Şorcaru / Language(s): English Issue: 11/2021

We can definitely say that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has changed our lives in such a complex way that it may take us a long time to investigate the ever-branching consequences upon all aspects of our existence. It has come with restrictions, impositions and limitations, established by the authorities and meant to keep the pandemic under control. It was only natural for such forced requirements to be met with protest, as opposing what one deems as infringing upon one’s rights and freedoms is still considered to be a basic human right. Yet, as with everything else in this world, the truth is always in-between, at the intricate crossroads of inter-twining concepts such as human rights, freedom of choice, (mass-)manipulation, conspiracy theories, and individual and mass-psychology. When tackling the numerous and diverse protests that have divided the world over restrictions to be observed or over the vaccination process, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) may be regarded as providing a complex view on such matters, revealing the sub-text of what we see and hear nowadays. And let us not forget that, as far as segregation is concerned, one of the oldest tricks in the book reads “Divide et impera!”
