Limitations of Redistribution Requirements That Come from Recognition Policie
No full textU radu se ispituju dometi zahteva za redistribucijom koji dolaze iz politika
priznanja. Politike priznanja, odnosno politike razlike, u osnovi izvode redistributivne zahteve na osnovu priznanja specifičnog načina života određene društvene grupe. Radi se, pre svega, o zahtevima koji dolaze iz LGBT
zajednice, manjinskih etničkih zajednica i ženskih grupa, a u ranijim vremenima iz radničkog pokreta. Sa jedne strane, takva teorijska pozicija nudi
dobru osnovu za praktično-političku mobilizaciju članova date grupe i istorijski primeri organizovanja na osnovu zajedničkog identiteta argumenti su
u korist politika priznanja. Jačanjem specifičnog identiteta razvija se osećaj
solidarnosti unutar grupe, čime se stvaraju preduslovi za uspešno političko
delovanje. Sa druge strane, javlja se problem definisanja granica grupe i isključivanja zbog nepripadanja grupi, iako se osobe mogu nalaziti u jednako
lošem ekonomskom položaju, što je osnova kritike iz univerzalističkih pozicija. Osim problematizovanja ograničenosti zahteva za redistribucijom koji
dolaze iz politika priznanja, u radu se ispituju i mogućnosti saradnje identitetski definisanih grupa, kroz različite alternativne modele demokratije
Razlikovanje nezavisnih kontrolnih i regulatornih tela
No full textIako su nezavisna kontrolna i regulatorna tela deo pravno-političkog sistema Republike Srbije već niz godina, njihova priroda, funkcije i glavne odlike izazivaju česte nedoumice kako u opštoj, tako i stručnoj javnosti. Ključni atributi koji se odnose na ovu vrstu tela, poput nezavisnosti, samostalnosti, kontrole i regulacije, neretko se nekritički koriste, a njima se etiketiraju i tela koja pomenuta svojstva nemaju. U ovom radu se analizom domaćih pozitivnih propisa pokazuje da zakonodavac na nekonzistentan, a nekad i kontradiktoran, način uređuje nezavisnost kontrolnih i regulatornih tela. Istovremeno se demonstrira da nejasna nomenklatura državnih institucija dodatno otežava smeštanje regulatornih tela u pravni sistem, prevashodno zbog korišćenja termina „agencija“ za tela sasvim različite pravne prirode. Cilj ovog rada je da doprinese definisanju i razjašnjenju međusobnog odnosa pojmova nezavisnost i samostalnost, kao i pojašnjenju sličnosti i razlika između kontrolnih i regulatornih tela

“We strongly encourage qualified women and minorities to apply”: Ethnicity, language and gender as personal, political and epistemological positions
No full textUsing auto-ethnography, the presentation/paper will explore the possibilities and challenges offered
to a female researcher coming from a post-Yugoslav minority background -- myself. While personal,
the account aims at bringing to light some of the wider structural dimensions of the seemingly
individual/private decisions, opportunities and difficulties, reframing them as collective/public. My
argument concerns the relevance of engaging with not only the researchers’ personal but also their
institutional and cultural positionalities. I will construct it through a case study of the experience of
conducting research about multilingualism and state-language learning by members of the Hungarian
minorities in three fieldwork sites: Vojvodina, Transylvania and Prekmurje with the affiliation to the
University of Oslo. My paper will relate to contemporary sociolinguistic literature that is starting to
acknowledge that multilingualism is not only a resource but can be a barrier as well, in particular at
the labor market – of which the academia is no exception. The other set of literature the paper will
use is that on academic precarity with an additional focus of a gendered perspective.
The presentation will start by a personal recollection of my interest in the topic as well as the
institutional background of undertaking the research in the three locations. The narratives about the
personal and the institutional setup will serve not merely as “context” or “background”, but I see
them co-constitutive of my study. The meta-research will therefore attempt to show some of the
(im)possible positions I have taken in my research. These are scattered around various axes, some of which are shared with interlocutors and others that distance the researcher. These include the
presence or the lack of the following: knowledge of the state language, the shared historical legacy of
Yugoslavia, the socialist heritage, a linguistic dialect spoken, gender, age, class, education, political
ideology, etc. These positions however do not only have consequences for the interpretation of the
“research material” and the “results” but are positions negotiated on another level: as a precarious
female researcher from the former Yugoslavia in Western academia. The paper will therefore also
touch upon dilemmas related to: What are the career strategies available to a post-Yugoslav female
postdoc? Being Hungarian, is she (post-)Yugoslav at all? Where does gender play into her roles?
What are the personal and academic qualities that are valorized and what are the traits that can
hinder her career? What perspectives and what methodologies accessible to her and why she is
discouraged from taking others? What issues is she supposed to discuss and what shall she better be silent about when presenting the research? Where is the demarcation line between East and West, knowledge production and reproduction, personal and political? Even though raising questions primarily about post-Yugoslav academic subjectivities, the issues the paper engages with are also related to ethno-national epistemologies and to (im)possibilities of a “safe distance” as a researcher from the former Yugoslavia precariously producing knowledge in a Western (Northern) academic institution.Konferenciju je organizovao Univerzitet u Sent-Galenu, Švajcarsk
Мисли о Светом Сави и Светосављу: Примери Св. Николаја Жичког, Св. Јустина Ћелијског и Атанасија Јевтића
No full textРад има за циљ да анализира рефлексије о Светом Сави и светосављу представника три сукцесивне генерације српских богослова: Светог Николаја Жичког, Светог Јустина Новог Ћелијског и Атанасија Јевтића. Рад прво сагледава промишљања Светог Николаја Жичког о Светом Сави у контексту руског славјанофилског покрета и политичког панславизма, с једне, и југословенског пројекта, с друге стране. Даље се место и улога Светог Саве у мисли Светог Јустина анализира како у контексту православног подвижништва и идеја руске религијске философије, које Јустин „крштава“ у светоотачком предању, тако и у контексту идеолошких дилема југословенског друштва у међуратном периоду. На крају, фокус се премешта на Атанасија Јевтића и његово промишљање о Светом Сави и светосављу у оквиру неопатристичке синтезе и епископоцентричне еклисиологије, као и рада на обнови подвижничко-монашке праксе у савременој Српској Православној Цркви
The Quality of Fitness in the Architecture of the 20th Century: An Oversighted Design Principle from the Beaux-Arts Tradition
No full textArchitectural design method from the tradition of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris, considered one of the most prestigious educational institutions since its establishment in the 17 century, flourished until the Second World War across the countries aligned with the culture of the West. Though it marked the majority of buildings designed and constructed during the first four decades of the 20th century, pre-Second World War Beaux-Arts architecture remains under-researched within the international historiography. Exploring a lesser known design principle from the Beaux-Arts tradition – the quality of fitness in architecture – this paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of the topic. By the 20th century, Beaux-Arts architects – though, indeed, ever aware of the aesthetic potentials of architecture – approached design pragmatically. Beaux-Arts tradition insisted on functional designs, sensitive towards the local context and the use of the cutting-edge building technologies. Exploring an example from New Zealand architectural history, this paper will show that Beaux-Arts methodology was more practical than what has been generally proposed by the historians of architecture
Ius sive Potentia: Pavle i Spinoza
No full textThis article is a part of a research project entitled Law as Potency, that, broadly put, investigates the relation between law and ontology. I argue, starting from St. Paul, that an ontological perspective can be understood as the possibility of justice, in a sense of a liberation of the human being. Thus, this paper offers an analysis of the concepts of potency and universality. Even though the term ‘universalism’ is not explicitly mentioned, it is present in St. Paul’s thinking and brought onto its practical consequences. In addition, Spinoza’s reading of St. Paul opens up a possibility to challenge this concept to a concept of modern teleology. Therefore, I discuss the consequences of this confrontation in regard to law, politics and economics. This leads to an articulation of another modernity, where, perhaps, the universal appears as the affirmation of difference.Ovaj članak je deo istraživačkog projekta pod nazivom Zakon kao potencija, koji, u širem smislu, istražuje odnos prava i ontologije. Tvrdim, polazeći od Sv. Pavla, da se ontološka perspektiva može shvatiti kao mogućnost pravde, u smislu oslobađanja ljudskog bića. Stoga ovaj rad nudi analizu koncepata potencije i univerzalnosti. Iako termin „univerzalizam“ nije izričito pomenut, on je prisutan u mišljenju Sv. Pavla i doveden do svojih praktičnih posledica. Pored toga, Spinozino čitanje Sv. Pavla otvara mogućnost da se ovaj koncept iskuša konceptom moderne teleologije. Stoga raspravljam o posledicama ovog sučeljavanja u pogledu zakona, politike i ekonomije. To dovodi do artikulacije druge modernosti, gde se, možda, univerzalno pojavljuje kao afirmacija razlike
Pojam angažovanja
No full textIn this paper, we illuminate the basic features of the concept of engagement, which has only become possible in the secular world, with the emergence of the modern individual deprived of any stable, eternal order or hierarchy of values. Still, engagement is not only individual but also collective, as the lack of certainty about the truth affects not only the community and society but also motivates them to follow the same paradigm as the individual – themselves at stake, without knowing where it could possibly lead, but with the intention to produce some tangible and stable socio-cosmic structures that could alleviate man’s uncertainty and thus insecurity. The necessity of engagement stems from the circumstance that man lives in a context saturated with meanings that call him out in advance and influence him. Therefore, engagement means actually acting back to the being-exposed to meanings and structures that have already affected man and his situation. One section of the text deals with an understanding of engagement in the contemporary, “postmodern” era.U ovom radu osvjetljavamo osnovne crte koncepta angažovanja, koji je postao moguć tek u sekularnom svijetu, s pojavom moderne indvidue lišene bilo kakvog stabilnog, vječnog poretka i hijerarhije vrijednosti. Ipak, angažovanje je pritom nije samo individualno nego i kolektivno, budući da izostanak izvjesnosti o istini ne pogađa samo zajednicu i društvo nego i njih motiviše da slijede istu paradigmu kao pojedinac – da sebe stave na kocku, ne znajući kuda će to voditi, ali s namjerom da na koncu proizvede opipljive i stabilne socio-kosmičke strukture, koja bi mogla ublažiti neizvjesnost, a time i nesigurnost. Nužnost angažovanja potiče od okolnosti da čovjek živi u kontekstu zasićenom značenjima koja ga već unaprijed prozivaju i utiču na njega. Stoga angažovanje znači uzvratno djelovanje izloženosti značenjima i strukturama koja su već uticala na čovjeka i njegovu situaciju. Jedan odjeljak teksta posvećen je razumijevanja angažovanja u savremenoj, „postmodernoj“ epohi
Udeo smrti: briga prelazi logor
No full textThe essay thematises the question of care in conditions of total power – not merely extra muros, in the everyday life of the Third Reich, but in its most radical articulation, the concentration camp. Drawing inspiration from Todorov’s work, the essay engages with Levinas, Agamben, Derrida and Nancy, to investigate Heidegger’s determination of Da-sein’s horizon through a solitary confrontation with death. Drawing extensively on primary testimonies, the essay shows that when the enclosure of the camp became the Da of existence, care assumed a radical significance as the link between the death of another and the death of oneself. In the face of an apparatus of total power and its attempt to individuate and isolate death, the sharing of death in the figure of care remained one’s most inalienable act of resistance and the last means to hold on to death as something that could be truly one’s own.Esej tematizuje pitanje brige u uslovima totalne moći – ne samo extra muros, u svakodnev-nom životu Trećeg Rajha, već u njenoj najradikalnijoj artikulaciji, koncentracionom logoru. Crpeći inspiraciju iz Todorovljevog dela, esej se bavi Levinasom, Agambenom, Deridom i Nansijem, kako bi propitao Hajdegorovo određenje Da-sein-ovog horizonta kroz samotno suočavanje sa smrću. Opsežno se oslanjajući na primarna svedočanstva, esej pokazuje da je, kada je Da egzisistencije postalo ograda logora, briga poprimila radikalan značaj kao veza iz-među smrti drugog i smrti samog sebe. Suočeni s aparatom totalne moći i njegovim poku-šajem da individualizuje i izoluje smrt, deljenje smrti u liku brige ostalo je neotuđivi čin ot-pora i poslednje sredstvo za zadržavanje smrti kao nečega što bi uistinu moglo biti nečije vlastito
