The article analyzes and contextualizes three case studies – Zoom Festival from the town of Rijeka, Zagreb UrbanFestival and Culture Shock Festival from Križevci – marking them as interventional urban art festivals. The authors, by providing separate insights in each of the conceptually different festivals, emphasize the aspects on the basis of which they interpreted their subversive character: conflicts inside independent cultural scene, strategically hidden subversive elements in the program itself or potential of the festival to serve as a platform for civil activism. The common element appeared to be the political impact of those festivals on local, but also national level, as well as the ambivalent attitude towards the cultural politics which determine their institutional framework.

The Erased residents of Slovenia comprise a group of 25,671 individuals, who found themselves without political, economic and social rights soon after Slovenia became independent. The present article discusses a number of aspects of economic and social exclusion of the Erased, as well as the impact of the mentioned exclusion on their bodies and state of mind. Amongst others, the incidence of živci (“upset nerves”) and živčnost (“nervousness”) as the embodied metaphor of socio-political and economic inequality brought about by the erasure is analyzed through a medical anthropological perspective.

The article catalogues performance arts in which food is used as a political stance, while pointing out in that process the danger of the implemented metaphor of the political kitchen in the Croatian period of transition, and of the overall recession and depression. The stimulus for writing about this topic that life itself imposes came to me from two artists (Siniša Labrović and Marko Marković), who oriented their performance art to auto-cannibalism – to drinking and slurping their own blood (M. Marković) and urine (S. Labrović) and to eating their own tissue, their own flesh (M. Marković).

The article discusses the possibility of including stories on the way of life, documented through ethnographic research, in tourist offer. Starting from a concrete example based on the stories of masons and stone-cutters from the region of Vinodol, and, on the other hand, from tourist promotion materials, the authors list the ambiguities surrounding the term “tourist attraction”, which is commonly used in the projects of cultural tourism. The authors use the corpus of the documented stories of Vinodol region, which they have recognized as powerful elements of cohesion of the local community, simultaneously aware of the process of extraction of heritage, to suggest a pathway for creating tourist offer: from ethnographic research as a starting point, through recognition, extraction and nomination of cultural elements as heritage, to its usage under the frameworks of cultural politics. In doing this, they suggest the acceptance of the value of “the ordinary”.

My aim in this article is to examine Husserl’s comprehension of the “potentialities of intentional life” in the Cartesian Meditations. These potentialities are introduced in deep connection with a new vision of intentionality as horizon intentionality, and of experience as synthesis. And because synthesis involves time and time means inner consciousness, the intertwining between actuality and potentiality highly regards consciousness in itself. An analysis of Husserl’s description of the ego in the Ideen in terms of actuality and potentiality thus becomes required in oder to characterize, through these concepts, the life of consciousness itself.
