The Habermasian Foundations and Aims of Axel Honneth’s Theory of Recognition
The paper reconstructs Axel Honneth’s theoretical evolution as a complex interrogation of Habermasian critical theory, arguing against a misconception that Honneth tries to ‘supersede’ Habermas’ perspective through an essentialist and reductionist social philosophy, and pointing out that Honneth’s theory retains a ‘Habermasian’ tension between two imperatives: attaining post-metaphysical normative foundations and articulating a ‘diagnostic’ social critique. The paper concludes that Honneth’s recent works exhibit a systems-theoretic sensitivity, which suggests that Honneth’s ‘dialogue’ with Habermas continues
Aesthetic Interventions in Post-2001 Argentina: The Curious Case of Fernanda Laguna
The essay works on a young author Fernanda Laguna who, in her works, uses new forms of resistance such as coopertivity, togetherness and body as a way to resist capitalism. The underling thought is that the capitalist practices cannot totalize the new forms of resistance
Ruralnost i rod: Dostupnost i prepoznavanje programa socijalne zaštite
Kako živeti bolje u Srbiji? U kojoj meri pojedinci, a onda i određene grupe stanovništva koje ne žive u urbanim sredinama, ekonomski zavisni ili finansijski deprivirani, slabijeg ili lošeg zdravlja, sa lakšim ili težim oblikom invaliditeta, pritom i neupućeni u dobar deo administrativnih i institucionalnih finesa socijalne zaštite, marginalizovane ili u sistemu potpuno nevidljive žene i devojčice, zaista mogu ostvariti zakonom im garantovana prava socijalne zaštite? Na koji način i u kojoj meri se mogu informisati o svojim pravima i obavezama? Kako mogu naučiti da ih koriste i čiju pomoć mogu očekivati, a čiju čak i zahtevati? Od koga mogu očekivati ne samo ekonomske, administrativne ili tehničke savete, već i afektivnu podršku? Kako mogu postati i ostati punopravni aktivni građani/ke Republike Srbije (dakle, upoznati sa svojim pravima socijalne i zdravstvene zaštite i svesni kako ih mogu sticati, jednako kao i sa obavezama koje su dužni ispunjavati)
Do intellectuals matter?: Proposal for a study of influence
The paper strives to explore the (non)existence of influence of intellectuals in society. Intellectuals are seen as a loose elite network of specific social actors who possess advance knowledge or creativity recognized in the cultural field of academia and/or art, hold a certain authority or power to be heard in the public, and who are publicly engaged. The aim of the paper is to fill the gap in the sociology of intellectuals and offer a possible framework for empirical research of intellectuals’ influence. This framework is operationalized using three levels: self-evaluation of their own influence, estimation of their social status and intellectual authority over (primarily) elites, and finally external “objectified” measures. The author hereby calls on the testing of the proposed model and any proposals for its improvemen
Pragmatička epistemologija i zajednica angažovanih delatnika
In this paper I will explore the relation between engagement and
social science. I will try to argue that positivist epistemology found in the early
days of social sciences still greatly influences our understanding of social engagement.
In the first part of the paper, I will analyze the epistemology of social sciences
advocated by Fourier and Saint-Simon and try to show that, for them, scientific
method was primarily the means for taming social change, as well as projecting
private desires and plans onto the public sphere. In the second part, I will offer
an alternative account of social engagement using the epistemic role of the
community found in pragmatism
Technological development and Sharing economies: implications on tourism destinations
