Čemu služi teorija? Misliti sa Džudit Batler
No full textU tekstu se na iscrpan način preispituje korist od (feminističke) teorije, njena služba, namena ili upotrebna vrednost. U tom poduhvatu se oslanjam na Džudit Batler, teoretičarku koja je bez sumnje najčešće kritikovana i kod nas i drugde zbog svog složenog i hermetičnog jezika. Propituju se tri teze: teza o tome da je za radikalnu misao potreban radikalni jezik, teza o tome da žene ne razumeju teoriju i teza da teorija poseduje kapacitet za angažman koji se ne izvodi iz nečega izvan same teorije. Najzad, tekst se zaključuje problematizovanjem statusa feminističke teorije u Srbiji

Learning the Language, Learning the Nation
No full textIn my presentation, I will describe the initial premises of my prospective research on second language teaching and learning in Vojvodina and Transylvania. My project will include a synchronic exploration of ethno-linguistic belonging and interethnic communication in the former Habsburg Monarchy and a diachronic perspective from 1918 until today. My main research aim is to unpack the “hidden curriculum” of the instruction of the state language and the minority language in Vojvodina and Transylvania: to examine the construction and representation of national communities and the nature of the boundaries between them, and to get a better understanding of continuities and ruptures in language policy, interethnic relations and language education in the two regions.
I will explore second language acquisition both top-down and bottom-up. In terms of the former, I will tackle methods of teaching and analyze textbooks and documents of language and education policy related to second language learning, such as supranational and national charters and guidelines, laws and regulations, curricula and textbooks, talk with policy- makers, curriculum-makers, publishers and authors of textbooks, professors of future teachers of Serbian, Hungarian and Romanian as second language and teachers, etc. The bottom-up end of second language teaching will be dealing with past and present practices of the second language acquisition and look into how individuals receive and perceive the instruction of the second language.
I will draw on literature on ethnic identification, interactions and minority-majority relations in multicultural contexts; on studies about the role of language and education in nation- building processes and on European multilingualism; as well as on works specifically dealing with Serbian-Hungarian and Romanian-Hungarian bilingualism in Vojvodina and Transylvania respectively.Konferenciju je organizovao Univerzitet u Oslu, Norvešk
Rodna ravnopravnost u oblasti akademskog rada: normativni okvir
No full textU ovom tekstu biće predstavljena analiza normativnog okvira koja se tiče rodne
ravnopravnosti u oblasti akademskog rada. Sticanje uvida u položaj akademskih
radnica u Srbiji i identifikovanje mogućnosti za promenu zatečenog stanja, što
su osnovni ciljevi istraživanja na kojem je zasnovana celokupna publikacija, zahteva kao prvi korak upravo analizu normativnog okvira. Iako nam nije namera
da se ovde posebno bavimo analizom EU normativnog okvira, krenućemo od
njega, imajući u vidu neophodnost usklađivanja domaćeg normativa sa evropskim i specifične zahteve za harmonizacijom koji su Srbiji postavljeni od strane
EU institucija i njihovih pojedinačnih programa usmerenih na akademsku delatnost. Nakon ovog dela, u našem tekstu biće analiziran širi normativni okvir koji
se sastoji od strateških dokumenata i pratećih akcionih planova. U trećem delu
rada analizi će biti podvrgnuti zakoni koji se direktno odnose na akademske
radnike i radnice i naučnoistraživačku i inovacionu delatnost, zajedno sa setom
zakona, koji u oblasti rada, napredovanja i usavršavanja, regulišu zabranu rodne
diskriminacije ili predlažu afirmativne mere za njeno uklanjanje. Četvrti deo rada
biće posvećen analizi pravnih akata pet državnih univerziteta u Srbiji koji su se
našli u našem uzorku (Beograd, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, Niš i Novi Pazar)
Samoubistvo, eutanazija i dužnost da se umre: kantovski pristup eutanaziji
No full textThe paper addresses the issues of euthanasia and thoroughly analyses Kantian response to the practice in question. In reference to Kant’s views on many related issues, such as murder, suicide, autonomy, rationality, honor and the value of human life, the main goal of this paper is to offer an explanation for one probable Kantian view on euthanasia in general, as well as an explanation for a specific form of euthanasia with regard to those patients suffering from dementia. The author’s arguments, according to which Kant could even argue that those persons who have begun suffering from dementia have a duty to die, have all been given special importance in this paper. The question is could and should this specific moral ever be allowed to become universal when considering the patients’ willingness to commit suicide once they start suffering from dementia or perhaps once they start experiencing a loss of rationality? Should suicide even become a patient’s duty? Furthermore, if a patient shows absolutely no intention or willingness of taking her/his own life, ‘should’ the doctor perform a non-voluntary euthanasia over the patient? This paper analyses the author’s arguments which are actually in favor of aforementioned questions, and aims to examine the plausibility of the act as well as to criticize it. The issue of euthanasia is very important, because the key question is what in fact constitutes the fundamental value of human life, which lies at the heart of this problem.U radu se obrađuju pitanja eutanazije i detaljno se analizira kantovski odgovor na dotičnu
praksu. U vezi s Kantovim stajalištima o mnogim srodnim pitanjima, kao što su ubistvo, samoubistvo,
autonomija, racionalnost, čast i vrednost ljudskog života, glavni cilj ovoga rada
jeste da se pruži objašnjenje za jedan uopšteno mogući kantovski pogled na eutanaziju, kao
i objašnjenje za jedan određeni oblik eutanazije s obzirom na one pacijente koji pate od demencije.
Argumenti autora, prema kojima je Kant čak mogao da tvrdi da su osobe koje su
počele patiti od demencije imale dužnost da umru, u ovom radu su bili od posebne važnosti.
Pitanje je da li bi se moglo i trebalo ikada dozvoliti da ovaj specifični moral postane univerzalan
kada se razmatra želja pacijenata da počini samoubistvo, kada počnu patiti od demencije
ili možda jednom kada počnu doživljavati gubitak racionalnosti? Da li bi samoubistvo
trebalo čak da postane pacijentova dužnost? Nadalje, ako pacijent ne pokazuje apsolutno
nikakvu nameru ili spremnost da oduzme sebi život, „treba li“ doktor obaviti nedobrovoljnu
eutanaziju nad pacijentom? Ovaj rad analizira argumente autora koji zapravo podržavaju navedena
pitanja i ima za cilj ispitivanje verodostojnosti tog čina kao i njegovo kritikovanje.
Problem eutanazije je vrlo važan, jer je ključno pitanje šta u stvari konstituiše temeljnu vrednost
ljudskog života, koja leži u srcu ovog problema,idrugihformičovekovogpravanaživot
Citizenship as social object in the aftermath of the Yugoslav break-up
No full textThe break-up of Yugoslavia disintegrated the Yugoslav citizenship regime,
and new communities of citizens and citizenship regulations were born. Since the
identitarian and lived aspects of citizenship are inseparable from its formal and legal
aspects, (not) having the ‘right’ personal documents and (not) being recognized as the
‘right’ kind of citizen had profound effects on the lives of many individuals. Relying
on the concept of documentality and stressing the feature of documents as being constitutive
of social reality, this article analyses personal narratives illustrating the lived
experience of citizenship transformations after the break-up of Yugoslavia
Politics of Enmity
No full textThis volume attempts contribute to the discussion about the nation, nationalism and its inevitable attendant, enmity. In what sense have friendship and hostility (Schmitt 1996, Derrida 1994, Bojanić 1995; 2015) gained new meanings, and what would those meanings be? Does nation-building always involve a common enemy one has to fight? Or does it meet its limits with being a mere remedy for contemporary forms of inequality, or a tranquilizer for those unsettled by the complexity and insecurity brought up by globalized capitalism? These questions become increasingly important as we witness the crisis of the collectivity-building process of the European Union. Do the contemporary politics of difference contest the notion of enmity or, quite to the contrary,
reaffirm it
The Politics of Simulation. Fake Repairs in a Serbian Industrial Town
No full textThe author explores reparations of urban sites in Bor, a copper processing town in eastern Serbia. She looks at recent attempts at reparations carried out by an industrial company in the context of the town’s and the company’s ‘revival’. She explores ethnographically how the reparations were seen as deceptions, temporary, partial, fake, and superficial, but simultaneously praised as ‘at least something’. The author argues that this ambivalence, which consisted of simultaneous positive and negative dispositions towards the promise the repairs held, resulted in people’s involvement in the ‘politics of simulation’ of the town’s and the copper company’s ‘revival’. She also shows how through people’s hope for order, and through their hope of being moral state subjects, the state became an object of emotional investment
