Хелдерлин, грци и немци. Једна потрага за националним идентитетом
No full textУ првом делу овог рада излаже се и тематизује „опчиње-
ност“ немачких мислилаца и писаца друге половине осамнаестог и с по-
четка деветнаестог века античком Грчком. Шлегелове, Винкелманове и
Шилерове визије Грка и Немаца уводе у Хелдерлиново наслеђивање и
одступање од њих, чему се придаје посебна пажња. Други део рада пос-
већен је коментарима и тумачењима Хелдерлинове заоставштине. Хај-
дегерове интерпретације, које заузимају његов највећи део, изазвале су
реакције, међу другима, Адорна, Лаку-Лабарта, Брункхорста. У спору
око Хелдерлиновог наслеђа, текст прати њихова виђења грчко-немачке
повезаности у савремености. Завршни део рада, враћајући нас на поче-
так немачке културне асимилације и/или апропријације Грка, указује
на један модел „националне идентификације“ у идеализованом и недо-
стижном Другом, модел према коме се немачка мисао и даље огледа у
Грцима и огледа са њима, са неизвесним исходом, не само у погледу пуке
коректности тумачења, него и када је реч о томе на чију штету и/или на
чију ползу се то огледање одиграваThe first part of this paper presents and examines the “fascination” of German
thinkers and writers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries with ancient
Greece. The visions of Schlegel, Winckelmann, and Schiller regarding the Greeks
and Germans introduce Hölderlin’s inheritance and deviation from them, which is
given particular attention. The second part of the paper is dedicated to the comments
and interpretations of Hölderlin’s legacy. Heidegger’s interpretations, which
occupy the largest portion, have elicited reactions from, among others, Adorno,
Lacoue-Labarthe, and Brunkhorst. In the debate over Hölderlin’s legacy, the text
traces their perspectives on Greek-German connections in modernity. The final
part of the paper, returning to the beginning of German cultural assimilation and/
or appropriation of the Greeks, points to a model of “national identification” in the
idealized and unattainable Other – a model in which German thought continues to
reflect itself in Greeks and engage with them, with uncertain outcomes, not only
regarding the mere correctness of interpretations but also in favor of whose costs
and/or benefits this reflection takes place. It is concluded that almost all significant
German thinkers and writers of the late modern period felt the need to overcome
divisions and heal the fragmented world in which they lived. They “discovered” the
lost unity in the social, religious and philosophical life of the ancient Greeks and –
in their search for self-determination – (re)constructed both Greece and Germany
Monstruozna materija: mikrobne osnove za živu planetu
No full textTo confront the escalating climate emergency, a new twenty-first century mythos of matter is essential—one that moves beyond the extractive, industrial paradigms of modernity. This emerging worldview centres on the concept of “monstrous matter:” the unruly, dynamic materiality of life that resists categorization yet operates fully within the laws of physics and chemistry. This matter finds its ultimate expression in Gaia—not as a harmonious globe, but as a dynamic, disruptive, and planetary-scale negotiation between living and non-living forces. Rather than being chaotic or lawless, this matter is profoundly creative, having given rise to the rich biodiversity and material vitality of Earth. Embracing this perspective invites a transition in human development—away from control and exploitation, and toward regenerative practices that align with nature’s own cycles of change and renewal. Architecture, as a material and cultural practice, plays a critical role in this transformation. By designing with and for the vitality of monstrous matter—refusing rigid geometries and inert materials—architects can develop environments that support life, adaptability, and ecological flourishing. This mythos offers a hopeful, imaginative framework for rethinking our relationship with the living world.Kako bismo se suočili sa rastućom klimatskom krizom, neophodan je novi, dvadesetoprvovekovni mit o materiji—onaj koji prevazilazi ekstraktivne, industrijske paradigme modernosti.
Ovaj nastajući pogled na svet usredsređen je na koncept „monstruozne materije“: neukrotive, dinamične materijalnosti života koja izmiče kategorizaciji, a ipak potpuno deluje u okviru
zakona fizike i hemije. Ova materija svoj krajnji izraz nalazi u Gaji—ne kao harmoničnoj celini,
već kao dinamičnoj, disruptivnoj pregovaračkoj igri između živih i neživih sila na planetarnoj
skali. Umesto da bude haotična ili bez zakona, ova materija je duboko kreativna, budući da
je upravo ona stvorila ogromno biodiverzitetsko i materijalno bogatstvo Zemlje. Prihvatanje
ove perspektive poziva na prelazak u ljudskom razvoju—od kontrole i eksploatacije ka regenerativnim praksama koje se usklađuju sa prirodnim ciklusima promene i obnove. Arhitektura, kao materijalna i kulturna praksa, ima ključnu ulogu u ovoj transformaciji. Projektovanjem u skladu sa vitalnošću monstruozne materije—odbacujući krute geometrije i inertne
materijale—arhitekte mogu stvarati okruženja koja podržavaju život, prilagodljivost i ekološki
procvat. Ovaj mit nudi nadu i imaginativni okvir za ponovno promišljanje našeg odnosa prema živom svetu
Teoretsko-politička obnova obrazovanja i njene kontradikcije pod neoliberalizmom: debata i izazovi čileanskog slučaja u XXI veku
No full textThe article presented here focuses on the New Public Education (NPE), established by Law 21.040, which represents a substantial change in the understanding of the right to education in Chile. The fieldwork is organized around three key areas: 1) the administrative structure supporting public schools, the SLEP (Servicio Local de Educación Pública / Local Public Education Service); 2) the effects and aftermath of inequality exacerbated in school communities during the pandemic; and 3) the strategies implemented by schools with the SLEP to ensure equity and equal opportunities in dynamics of participation, communication, and democratic dialogue within the framework of education for citizenship and democracy as outlined in the law’s principles. The methodology of this research is based on a qualitative and hermeneutic epistemological paradigm, aligned with the goal of deeply understanding the reality of local public education services through a multiple and retrospective case study design. The emerging results from the analytical processes of discourse and documentary material collected in five case studies across the country are built around three categories: 1) teachers as the foundation and pillar of public education; 2) neoliberal managerialism; and 3) the deep gap or fracture between what Law 21.040 declares and the daily reality of schools. These categories were constructed to contrast theory with practice in the Chilean educational context, demonstrating that these three axes allow for a rethinking of the current situation, an understanding of dominant conflicts and debates or tensions, and the charting of new perspectives to address current challenges.Ovaj članak se fokusira na Novu javnu edukaciju (New Public Education/NPE), uspostavljenu Zakonom 21.040, koja predstavlja značajnu promenu u razumevanju prava na obrazovanje u Čileu. Terensko istraživanje organizovano je oko tri ključna područja: 1) administrativna
struktura koja podržava javne škole, SLEP (Servicio Local de Educación Pública/Lokalna služba za javno obrazovanje); 2) efekti i posledice nejednakosti koje su se dodatno pogoršale u
školskim zajednicama tokom pandemije; i 3) strategije koje su škole, u saradnji sa SLEP-om,
primenile kako bi osigurale jednakost i jednake šanse u dinamici učešća, komunikacije i demokratskog dijaloga u okviru obrazovanja za građanstvo i demokratiju, kako je definisano
principima zakona. Metodologija ovog istraživanja zasnovana je na kvalitativnoj i hermeneutičkoj epistemološkoj paradigmi, usklađenoj sa ciljem dubokog razumevanja stvarnosti lokalnih javnih obrazovnih službi kroz višestruki i retrospektivni dizajn studija slučaja. Rezultati
koji proizlaze iz analize diskursa i dokumentarne građe prikupljene u pet studija slučaja širom
zemlje organizovani su oko tri kategorije: 1) nastavnici kao temelj i stub javnog obrazovanja;
2) neoliberalni menadžerizam; i 3) duboki jaz ili raskorak između onoga što Zakon 21.040
propisuje i svakodnevne stvarnosti škola. Ove kategorije konstruisane su da bi se kontrastirala teorija i praksa u čileanskom obrazovnom kontekstu, pokazujući da ove tri ose omogućavaju preispitivanje trenutne situacije, razumevanje dominantnih konflikata i debata ili tenzija, kao i mapiranje novih perspektiva za rešavanje aktuelnih izazova
Museum as an Educational Tool: The Models of Experimental Educational Practices in European Art Museums
No full textThis paper deals with the recent innovative concepts of educational models in art museums that radically changed the perception of their role in society. The aim is to analyze the new approaches to arts education that test the museums’ permeability to active engagement with local communities while maintaining art as the central factor in these processes. The main thesis is that contemporary art museums are undergoing a thorough transformation into socially responsible, experimental, inclusive, and flexible institutions. The paper presents an overview of several historical examples that could be seen as the predecessors to the recent theoretical models that shifted the perception of the way museums engage with the public, i.e. Museum 3.0 and the Constituent Museum. These theoretical models were analyzed using the concrete examples of the museums in which they were first implemented, also acknowledging the role of the curators and directors who developed them
A Space of Her Own : Women in the Holocaust
No full textThe exploration of women’s gender-specific experiences, traumas,
and memories from the Holocaust is not entirely new. However, it still
seems that the research conducted thus far has only uncovered the
surface of what has not yet been said. In other words, although this
book stands upon the courageous shoulders of the already present
academic legacy of women’s studies within Holocaust research, there
is still a strong reason, a need, and an urge to discuss women’s lives,
sufferings, and resistance activities during the time of the Holocaust,
as well as to honor and understand the subsequent silences and struggles etched into their bodies. This becomes even more important as
the harrowing experiences of the Holocaust, once alive and present
through first-generation survivors, melt into post-memory, where the
questions multiply but the answers are not easily obtained.This edited volume was realised with the support of Claims Conference –

From the Postmodern to the Metamodern: The Hegelian Dialectical Process and its Contemporarization
No full textThis article posits that postmodernism and its focus on disenchantment, subjective experience(s), and the argument for the incoherency between modernist conceptions of truth, reason, universality, progress, logic, and knowledge are exhausted and have been transcended by a flexible successor. Named “metamodernism,” this new modality addresses the polemics left in the wake of postmodernism like alienation, hyperindividualism, and the breakdown of collectivity and unity. As such, metamodernism represents a more awakened sense of the modernist search for meaning and progress, albeit supplemented with self-conscious awareness of the goal’s seemingly unattainability. However, this renewed interest in reestablishing truth, certainty, assurances of identity, self-realization progress, and reinstatement of usable modes of I/We integrality is hardly new at all. Instead, this burgeoning “metamodern” development represents the rekindling of the “negative dialectic” as previously outlined by G. F. Hegel, but now with a heightened focus on its “positive” development, that is speculative philosophy and the pursuit of sublated individuality-in-unity. In this article, I will explore this argument in four sections. I will outline Hegel’s process of alienation to reunification as elaborated in “The Phenomenology of Spirit,” the “Science of Logic,” and the “Encyclopedia of Logic.” Next, I will explore how postmodernism buckled under its contradictions, introduce the philosophy of “metamodernism,” and argue for a Hegelian reading by focusing on three elements: Ironic Sincerity, Becoming, and Self-Renewal. While only looking at three aspects of a much broader fabric, metamodernism as a cultural shift is not estranged from postmodernism but is instead given life through it
Apsolutno hegelijanstvo za postmoderno vreme: Hegel sa Lakanom posle Bataja i Deride
No full textThis paper examines the Hegelian dialectical procedure of determinate negation in the Phenomenology of Spirit through the lens of “failure” in light of its critique by post-Hegelian thinkers, primarily Georges Bataille and Jacques Derrida. Further, this paper shows how the notion of failure remains important in the thinking of both Hegel and Bataille and discusses the Hegelian “labor of negative” as a Beckettian “failing better” in its resonance with Lacanian psychoanalytic praxis. In so doing, this paper highlights how the post-Hegelian praxis of psychoanalysis and even the “anti-Hegelian” thinking of Derrida and Bataille share certain conceptual operations with Hegel’s philosophy. The paper goes on to trace the limitations of Bataille’s and Derrida’s critiques of Hegel, especially through Bataille’s notion of “sovereignty” that he opposes to “lordship,” which he views as the central concept of Hegelianism. The paper argues that most critics of Hegel (including Bataille and Derrida) misread his notion of “absolute knowing” due to a misunderstanding of the radical difference between the transitions within the Phenomenology and the culmination of this series of transitions in absolute knowing. Through dispelling this misunderstanding, the paper argues that absolute knowing remains a crucial conceptual operator to cut through the impasses of postmodern thinking.Ovaj rad ispituje hegelijansku dijalektičku proceduru određene negacije u Fenomenologiji duha kroz prizmu „neuspeha“ u svetlu njene kritike posthegelovskih mislilaca, pre svega Žorža Bataja i Žaka Deride. Dalje, ovaj rad pokazuje kako pojam neuspeha ostaje važan u razmišljanju Hegela i Bataja, te razmatra hegelijanski „rad negativnog“ kao beketovski „bolji neuspeh“ u njegovoj rezonanciji sa lakanovskom psihoanalitičkom praksom. Na taj način, ovaj rad naglašava kako posthegelijanska praksa psihoanalize, pa čak i „antihegelijansko“ razmišljanje Deride i Bataja dele određene konceptualne operacije sa Hegelovom filozofijom. U radu se dalje prate ograničenja Batajove i Deridine kritike Hegela, posebno kroz Batajov pojam „suvereniteta“ koji on suprotstavlja „gospodstvu“, a koji smatra glavnim konceptom hegelijanstva. Autor tvrdi da je većina kritičara Hegela (uključujući Bataja i Deridu) pogrešno protumačila njegov pojam „apsolutnog znanja“ zbog nerazumevanja radikalne razlike između prelaza unutar Fenomenologije i kulminacije ove serije prelaza u apsolutnom znanju. Uklanjanjem ovog nesporazuma, ovaj rad pokazuje da apsolutno znanje ostaje ključni konceptualni operater za prevazilaženje ćorsokaka u postmodernom mišljenju
Challenging Peace: Deleuze, Guattari, and the Republican Legacy
No full textIn my presentation, I aim to explore Deleuze and Guattari's reflections on the idea of peace and their relation to
older arguments from the ancient republican tradition, as well as to authors of German idealism who incorporate
elements of this tradition, particularly Hegel. I will demonstrate that Deleuze and Guattari's critique of peace both
echoes and transforms these arguments through their concept of the "realization of the war machine" as a strategy
of non-domination in primitivism and barbarism, as well as through their association of peace with notions such as
despotism and terror. However, their departure from this tradition lies in their rejection of the accompanying
arguments for war, as they seek to circumvent the opposition between war and peace altogether through the
concept of the "war machine." Finally, I will question the extent to which such a theoretical position retains
political relevance in today's landscape, where the contemporary nature of technological war renders the old
republican arguments for war utterly obsolete-irrespective of any moral critique one might level against them while
simultaneously framing peace as a political ultimatum
