Replies: Autonomy and Human Dignity. A Reassessment of Kant’s Political Legacy. Human Rights, Peace, Progress
No full textThe paper centers on some problematic theses of my book Kant’s Political Legacy. Human Rights, Peace, Progress (UWP 2017). This reconsideration is occasioned partly by comments I received and partly by my own process of self-criticism. I focus on the point that commentators have mainly criticized, that is, the link I suggest between human dignity and our capacity for moral behavior, or autonomy. The first part recalls the basic features of my Kant-inspired and yet in many regards anti-Kantian account of the relation between dignity and autonomy and replies to some criticisms received from orthodox Kantians. The second part is strictly connected to the first because it deals with the reasons we have to believe that we are autonomous. While in the book I sketched Kant’s own reasons for the ‘reality of freedom,’ as he puts it, I focus now on
Bojan Kovačević’s suggestion to look at characters in novels written by artistic geniuses (in particular Leo Tolstoy) to find indirect evidence in favor of autonomy. This allows me to reflect on the kind of evidence one
can legitimately expect in the proof at issue. Thirdly, I reply to a classical objection, ignored in the book, that impacts with equal force Kant’s ethics and my own position. The problem concerns people with temporary or
permanent impairment of rational capacities. If I let human dignity depend on our capacity for autonomous behavior, am I committed to the counterintuitive (and rather devastating) conclusion that children or people suffering from momentary or irreversible loss of rational capacity, and a fortiori of autonomy, do not have dignity and therefore do not deserve to be protected by human rights?Članak se usredsređuje na neke problematične teze moje knjige Kantovo političko nasleđe. Ljudska prava, mir, progres (UWP 2017). Preispitivanje je jednim delom podstaknuto komentarima koje sam dobio a drugim delom procesom samo-kritike. Osnovni problem koji su komentatori uglavnom kritikovali jeste moj pokušaj da dovedem u vezu ljudsko dostojanstvo i našu sposobnost za moralno ponašanje, ili autonomiju. Prvi deo članka podseća na osnovna obeležja mog Kantom inspirisanog a ipak u mnogo čemu anti-Kantovog shvatanja veze između dostojanstva i autonomije i odgovara na neke od kritika koje upućuju ortodoksni Kantovci. Drugi deo je striktno povezan sa prvim budući da razmatra razloge zbog kojih mi verujemo da smo autonomni. Dok sam u knjizi skicirao dokaze samog Kanta za “stvarnost slobode” kako on to kaže, sada se usredsređujem na predlog Bojana Kovačevića da se indirektni dokazi u korist autonomije potraže u likovima iz romana kao delima umetničkih genija (posebno Lava Tolstoja). To mi omogućava da razmišljam od tome kakva se uopšte vrsta dokaza može legitimno očekivati u ovoj stvari. Treće, odgovaram na klasičnu primedbu, koja se u knjizi ignoriše, a koja podjednako pogađa Kantovu etiku i moju sopstvenu poziciju. Problem se odnosi na ljude sa trenutnim ili trajnim poremećajem racionalnih sposobnosti. Ako dozvolim da ljudsko dostojanstvo zavisi od naše sposobnosti za autonomno delovanje, da li se onda suočavam sa kontraintuitivnim (i prilično razornim) zaključkom da deca ili ljudi koji pate od trenutnog ili nepovratnog gubitka racionalnog kapaciteta, i a fortiori autonomije, nemaju dostojanstvo i stoga ne zaslužuju da budu zaštićeni ljudskim pravima

La traduzione politicamente impegnata della filosofia: il caso del termine agency
No full textIn questo testo mi concentrerò sulla traduzione di un termine il cui utilizzo in campo teorico è piuttosto recente. Va detto che ciò si riferisce in modo particolare al contesto postjugoslavo. Si tratta del concetto di agency, concetto la cui traduzione in serbo – e nelle altre lingue presenti
nella regione – è tutt’ora controverso. In tal senso, questo testo preso nella sua interezza si può intendere come una sorta di argomentazione filosofica per una determinata proposta di standardizzazione del termine filosofico. Tuttavia, questa è anche più di un’incitazione alla traduzione (quella non letterale, “ultraderivata e ultraconcettuale”). Poiché si tratta di un termine filosofico che ha potenziale di impegno politico, il che in questo testo emerge particolarmente dalla filosofia di Judith Butler, sosterrò che anche una traduzione “sbagliata” può essere giustificata qualora comporti un’occasione di mettere in atto dei cambiamenti immediati nel mondo fuori dal testo.prev.

A Reversed Historic House Museum: the Yugodom Rental Apartment in Belgrade
No full textFollowing social, cultural and economic developments in the world of contemporary tourism, “Airbnb” service for peer-to-peer short term lodging rental emerged as a major player in tourism accommodation business. Many available units are in fact historic house museums, sourcing their hospitality attractiveness in the same qualities outlined by the “classic” historic house museums – authenticity and interconnections between space, landscape, inhabitants and collections with the broader cultural context. This paper seeks to examine the impact of the “Airbnb” system on the development of reversed historic house museums by bringing up the case of Yugodom – short term stay accommodation in downtown Belgrade. Term reversed historic house museums describes spaces that do not tell the story based on the former inhabitants and their impact on broader socio cultural milieu, but spaces that are created as live-in museums for the sole purpose of providing tourist accommodation. Due to its unique interior design based on the aesthetics of former Yugoslavia, Yugodom has been perceived by the tourists and both local and international media as a museum space, showcasing the authentic Yugoslav home. While describing how this live-in museum was created, this paper will contextualize and examine the potential of reversed historic house museums in enriching both tourism and museum scene of the destination
Mass Media Use and Wellbeing
No full textThe Oxford Happiness Inventory and Multiple Lickert scale were deployed to get 2608 valid inputs on questions about attitudes, fears, media use and closeness of different social categories to the participants. Research results confirm all hypotheses. Quantity of television use decreases happiness. As for the quality of television and newspapers use, those consuming contents such as culture, sports and IT are happier than others. When looking at the television only, those that consume programs such as cartoons, culture, music, fashion, science, IT and sports are happier than others
Juvenile Crime and Organized Crime Groups — The Strategic Prevention Perspective
No full textNumerous studies have shown that criminal organizations in their mode of operation are mostly local. The local context directs the expansion and diversification of their criminal activities as well as their “entrepreneurial” risk management. Children are being targeted for criminal exploitation by organized crime groups as a mode of risk management given that they are perceived to be more likely to evade police detection or the sanctions. Continued increase of juvenile perpetrators of acts associated wtih organized crime activities points towards setting of a new trend. Children are being included into criminal entrepreneurship in a number of modalities ranging from distribution of narcotics and transformation of profits from illegal activities and corruption into ostensibly “legitimate” assets.
In general terms, criminal justice does not target the causality of crime. As criminal justice phenomena stem from social processes, the roots of crime prevention policy ought to be embedded in measures of social policy as much as to rely upon repressive and control measures of criminal law. In this article the authors discuss juvenile behavior in organized criminal activities from a number of perspectives in order to outline various facets of contemporary social prevention response to this type of crime
