A Passage to Europe: Serbia and the Refugee Crisis
No full textIn this text, I approach Serbian experience of the refugee crisis by referring to
three statements taken both as a reference and point of departure: first,
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić’s claim that Serbia was “more
European that some European states”; second, the former Croatian Prime
Minister Zoran Milanović’s claim that Serbia ought to “spread it [the refugees]
around a bit”; and, third, Angela Merkel’s statement that the closure of EU
borders could cause another war in the Balkans. These three statements, it is
argued, provide convenient access to the official’s claims regarding the refugee
crisis in Serbia and its echo in the region and abroad. In addition, in order to
identify the views held by common people in Serbia, in the last section I will
also briefly discuss popular reactions in Serbia to the issue of refugees in the
last several years
Siromaštvo, ruralnost, rod: Istraživanje funkcionisanja sistema socijalne zaštite u ruralnim oblastima Srbije
No full textKako je u savremenom društvenom kontekstu u Srbiji uopšte moguće analizirati razloge nestabilnosti međusobnih odnosa i neumoljivu međuzavisnost, kao i uslovljenost delatnih faktora kako pružalaca/pružateljki tako i primalaca/primateljki bilo kog oblika socijalne asistencije i pomoći? Tri modaliteta povezanosti: njihov odnos, međuzavisnost i uslovljenost, potrebno je intrinsično postaviti upravo u analizi onoga što jeste razlog moći delovanja (agency). Delatni faktori – pored činjenice da je uvek reč paralelno i o osobama koje pružaju uslugu, kao i onima koje ih primaju (kao pojedinci i pojedinke potaknuti izvornom ili naučenom empatijom, vaspitanjem, obrazovanjem) – posmatraju se takođe i u institucionalnom kontekstu, kada se, dakle, pored ličnog angažmana pokreću mehanizmi angažovanja šire zajednice, obezbeđuje infrastruktura u kojoj se
razlozi i svrha delovanja ne dovode u pitanje i kada ne dolazi do pozitivnih ili negativnih selekcija, već ostaje primaran poziv da se asistira/obezbedi/omogući konkretna pomoć i asistencija. Stoga će se u rezultatima našeg istraživanja o delatnim akterima sistema socijalne zaštite, prepoznati koga to naši sagovornici/e identifikuju kao one koji su delatni, a kome su neki drugi dodelili delatnost (često se pominje “država kao alfa i omega svih inicijativa i željenih promena”). Jer, upravo zato što jesu upućeni jedni na druge, pružaoci/teljke i primaoci/teljke usmeravaju i oblikuju svoja ponašanja i dugotrajno izgrađuju svoje osobenosti
Ambivalence and the study of contradictions
No full textContradictions constitute one fundamental aspect of human life. Humans are steeped in
contradictory thoughts, feelings, and attitudes. In this debate, five anthropologists adopt
an individual-centered and phenomenological perspective on contradictions. How can one
live with them? How to describe them from an anthropological point of view? Should we
rethink our dear notion of the “social agent” through that of contradiction
Phänomenologische Ethik zwischen der unendlichen Verantwortung für den Anderen und der ontologischen Differenz
No full textE: This article examines the possibility of a phenomenologically based ethics by principally contrasting the respective positions of Levinas and Heidegger. The thesis is that Levinas' critique of ontology does not correspond to Heidegger's fundamental-ontological objective, which can not be presented in terms of an oppositionbetween ethics and ontology, which again is premise of Levinas' prioritising of ethics. Bearing this mind, we attempt to explore the capacities of an ethics founded on fundamental ontology, especially regarding the questions of justice and resposibility
