Politike narodnosti: rađanje nove nacije?
The political legitimation of nation states traditionally tended to claim
homogeneity requirements that often exclude large sections of population. Taking
this account of the traditional correspondence between nationality and state as
a backdrop, I will attempt to sketch a new conception of peoplehood not based
on class, race or religious membership, but on the acceptance of manifold social
differences and on the construction of new belonging models. Basically I will
suggest the exploration of new avenues of political research about the future of
the nation with the following main goals: a) to argue for the persistence of
differences among the members of a society at a global scale as a positive feature
able to remove deep prejudices and biased views about the others, b) to highlight
the prejudices that the neoliberal frame of the EU has supposed in the West
Balkans area and c) to criticize the ideological resistance stemming from the idea
of a nation state that usually turns down the birth of new nations in history as
the result of wrongly solved conflicts. My claim for a politics of peoplehood as
a regular source of conflicts and demands, which shouldn’t be viewed as a civil
failure or breakdown, will be especially inspired by some texts from Seyla Benhabib,
Slavoj Žižek and Lea Ypi focusing on the necessary updates that the conditions
of membership and political participation ought to include in our current times.Politička legitimizacija nacionalnih država tradicionalno je imala tendenciju da
propisuje uslove homogenosti koji često isključuju velike delove stanovništva.
Uzevši u obzir ovu tradicionalnu korespodenciju između nacionalnosti i države
kao podlogu, pokušaću da skiciram novu koncepciju narodnosti koja nije zasnovana na klasi, rasi i verskoj pripadnosti, već na prihvatanju mnogobrojnih društvenih razlika i konstrukciji novih modela pripadnosti. U suštini, ja ću predložiti ispitivanje novih staza političkih studija o budućnosti nacije sa sledećim glavnim
ciljevima: a) kako bih izneo tvrdnju da je opstajanje razlika između članova društva na globalnoj skali pozitivno svojstvo sposobno da ukloni duboke predrasude i pristrasnost prema drugima, b) da bih podvukao kako neoliberalni okvir EU ispoljava izvesne predrasude prema prostoru Zapadnog Balkana
i c)) kako bih kritikovao ideološki otpor koji proizlazi iz ideje nacionalne države koja uglavnom
odbacuje rođenje nove nacije u istoriji kao rezultat pogrešno razrešenog sukoba. Moje zalaganje za politiku narodnosti kao regularni izvor nasilja i zâhteva, koje ne treba videti kao neuspeh ili slom građanske opcije, biće posebno inspirisana nekim tekstovima Šejle Benhabib (Seyla Benhabib), Slavoja Žižeka (Slavoj Žižek)
i Lee Epi (Lea Ypi) čiji je fokus na neophodnim osavremenjivanjima koja bi uslovi pripadnosti i političke participacije trebalo da uključe u današnjem vremenu
Liberalism between Politics and Epistemology: A Discussion of Alessandro Ferrara’s The Democratic Horizon: Hyperpluralism and the Renewal of Political Liberalism
In this symposium, Alessandro Ferrara’s recent book The Democratic Horizon: Hyperpluralism and the Renewal of Political Liberalism – an attempt to expand the framework of Rawls’ political liberalism in order to enable it to meet the challenge of today’s hyperpluralism – is discussed from a variety of angles by four contributors. Among the themes addressed are the potential of political liberalism for grounding a critical attitude; the different potential for accommodation offered by political liberalism for religious and moral, as opposed to economic, pluralism; Rawls’ implicit understanding of truth; the prospects of true democracy in ethnically divided societies that embrace consociationalist and particularly consensualist forms of governance; and the proper role of human rights in paths from decency to democracy from the perspective of an expanded political liberalism. In the final section, Alessandro Ferrara replies to his critics and accepts some of their suggestions
We have nothing in common: Rethinking community and the mechanisms of creating a sense of belonging
We live in an era of crisis for community and commonality. Our pres-ent experience, as noted by Derrida, is that of an aporia at the heart of belong-ing. Yet, it is in the very space torn apart by this aporia that we can try to conceive of a new sense of community and transform our way of thinking about being in common, which means the deconstruction of “Us” and of its enunciation. In the light of such a deconstruction, what makes for effective and powerful change in a struggle for emancipation, or in a protest for the recognition of one or more rights, when carried out by a collective movement or a group? This paper aims to answer that question, by seeking to investigate the conceptual and theoret-ical mechanisms that make a plural subject’s protest or claim concrete in its quest for justice and equality, in the face of a growing and likewise concrete (or real) inequalityŽivimo u dobu krize zajednice i zajedničkog. Naše sadašnje iskustvo, kako je to primetio Derida, jeste iskustvo aporie u srcu pripadanja. no, svejedno, upravo u prostoru koji je ova aporija razjedinila možemo pokušati da začnemo novi osećaj zajednice i transformišemo način na koji mislimo o bivanju zajedno, što pretpo-stavlja dekonstrukiciju „Mi“ i „Mi-govora.“ Ali, u svetlu takve dekonstrukcije, šta bi bila efektna i moćna promena koju bi doneo neki kolektivni pokret ili neka grupa koja se bori za emancipaciju ili protestuje zarad priznanja prava? Ovaj rad stremi odgovoru na to pitanje pokušajem da se istraže pojmovni i teorijski me-hanizmi koji konkretizuju protest ili zahtev pluralnog subjekta u njegovoj potra-zi za pravdom i jednakošću, nasuprot rastućoj i, takođe, konkretnoj (ili realnoj) nejednakosti
Problem dodavanja (additio) biću kod Tome Akvinskog
Tekst analizira problem dodavanja konceptu bića (ens) kod Tome Akvinskog. U prvom delu teksta razmotrena je nemogućnost dodavanja božanskom biću, a drugi se bavi odsustvom dodavanja u zajedničkom biću (ens commune). Dok božansko bivstvovanje nije u stanju da primi nikakva dodatna određenja, zajedničko bivstvovanje aktualno ne sadrži dodatna određenja, ali jeste u stanju da ih primi. U tom kontekstu, ističe se razlika između dodavanja rodnim pojmovima i dodavanja zajedničkom biću. U trećem delu teksta tumači se De veritate, q. 21, a. 1 i pokazuje da je zajedničko biće u stanju da primi dodatak ili na način kontrahovanja nečim realnim na determinatum modum essendi ili na način izražavanja savršenstava koja nisu eksplicitno iskazana rečju biće. Prvo su kategorije, drugo su transcendentalije.The article analyzes the problem of addition to the concept of being (ens) in Thomas Aquinas. The first part analyzes the impossibility of addition to divine being, and the second one is dedicated to the lack of addition in common being (ens commune). Divine being cannot receive any further determinations, common being does not contain any further determinations, but it can receive it. In that context, the difference between adding to generic notions and adding to common being is highlighted. In the third part the De veritate, q. 21, a. 1 is interpreted and it is shown that common being is capable of receiving additions either as a contration of something real to the determinatum modum essendi, or as an expression of the prerfections that are not explicitly contained in being. The first additions are the categories, the second ones are transcendentals
