Onkraj vandalizma: Nežna privatnost in grafitarska pravila v Bloku 45
This paper explores the unique interplay between graffiti practices, “gentle privatism,” and urban space in Block 45, a large housing estate in New Belgrade. Focusing on the informal code of conduct adhered to by local graffiti artists, the study examines how these unwritten rules shape social hierarchies and community dynamics. Through an analysis of graffiti’s territoriality and its role in place-making, the paper reveals how artists navigate the tension between public and private domains, challenging conventional neoliberal urban paradigms. By appropriating public spaces, graffiti writers transform common walls into valuable canvases that reflect the collective identity and mutual respect within the ambience of Block 45. The paper argues that this form of gentle privatism not only asserts the presence of the artists but also enriches the urban landscape and strengthens community bonds. Ultimately, the study highlights the sociocultural significance of graffiti as a medium for cultural expression and social commentary within the context of privatism.Članek raziskuje edinstveni preplet praks grafitiranja, »nežnega privatizma« in urbanega prostora v Bloku 45, večjem stanovanjskem naselju v Novem Beogradu. Študija s poudarkom na neformalnem kodeksu obnašanja, ki se ga držijo lokalni grafitarji, proučuje, kako ta nenapisana pravila oblikujejo družbene hierarhije in dinamike v skupnosti. Članek prek analize teritorialnosti grafitov in njihove vloge v ustvarjanju krajev razkrije, kako se umetniki spoprijemajo z napetostjo med javno in zasebno sfero ter pri tem predstavljajo izziv konvencionalnim neoliberalnim urbanim paradigmam. S prilastitvijo javnih prostorov grafitarji skupne zidove preobrazijo v dragocena platna, ki odslikavajo kolektivno identiteto in vzajemno spoštovanje v okolišu Bloka 45. V prispevku avtorica argumentira, da ta oblika nežnega privatizma ne le uveljavlja prisotnost umetnikov, temveč tudi bogati urbano krajino in krepi skupnostne vezi. Študija nazadnje poudari družbeno- kulturni pomen grafitov kot medija za kulturno izražanje in družbeni komentar v kontekstu privatizma
In Search of a Hybrid Antiquity, circa 1516
Architectural and pictorial modes developed in Raphael’s Workshop and subsequently in Giulio Romano’s work are investigated here in part as a reaction in part to the strictures of Vitruvius against the transspecies transfiguration of grotesque ornamentation. It is generally stated that the Renaissance sought to bring back the Antiquity, but one could ask which Antiquity, or rather which Antiquities. A close-reading of Vitruvius’ and (seemingly) Horace’s objections to such hybrid manifestations of transformative change reveals contradictions and affordances that Raphael and Giulio will intensify in the hybrid transmedial modes of their art and architecture developed within the political and religious changes of that time
Hijerarhije dijalektike: Hegel o identitetu i razlici
In my paper, I contend that it is necessary to rely on a categorial reading of Hegel’s notions of identity and difference in order to properly understand their non-hierarchical relationship in Hegelian dialectics. Many commentators reduce their speculative nature to a merely instrumental use of the terms in analyzing Hegel’s work. In this way, identity and difference are only formally employed and thus ontologically obscured, leaving room for subsequent shortcomings and hierarchizations. I maintain throughout the paper that the best way to elucidate the hierarchical question and prevent dialectical thought from such errors is by inquiring into Hegel’s speculative configuration of onto-logical categories. If anything, Hegel replaces the primacy of identity over difference with an internal linkage that determines the structure of these notions, thus granting their immanent relatedness. For him, the relationship between categories is necessarily a movement. The constitution of identity and difference, as determinations of reflexion of essence in Hegel’s Science of Logic, proves that they are equiprimordial and co-structural, hence preventing any possible hierarchy.U ovom radu tvrdim da je neophodno osloniti se na kategorično čitanje Hegelovih pojmova
identiteta i razlike kako bi se pravilno razumeo njihov nehijerarhijski odnos u hegelijanskoj
dijalektici. Mnogi komentatori svoju spekulativnu prirodu svode na samo instrumentalnu
upotrebu termina u analizi Hegelovog rada. Na taj način se identitet i razlika samo formalno
koriste čime se ontološki zamagljuju, te ostavljaju prostor za naknadne nedostatke i hijerar hizacije. U radu tvrdim da je najbolji način da se razjasni hijerarhijsko pitanje i spreči dijalek tičko mišljenje od takvih grešaka ispitivanje Hegelove spekulativne konfiguracije ontologičkih
kategorija. Ako ništa drugo, Hegel zamenjuje primat identiteta nad razlikom unutrašnjom
vezom koja određuje strukturu ovih pojmova, dajući im na taj način imanentnu povezanost.
Za njega je odnos među kategorijama nužno kretanje. Konstitucija identiteta i razlike, kao
određenja refleksije suštine u Hegelovoj knjizi Nauka logike, pokazuje da su oni ekviprimor dijalni i ko-strukturalni, čime sprečavaju svaku moguću hijerarhiju

Kako misliti zajednicu?
Da li se i na koji način različiti izlivi nasilja i brojnih drugih nepoželjnih društvenih pojava mogu pripisati nestanku „zajedništva“? Ili: kako zamišljamo to blagotvorno zajedništvo? S tim u vezi, naposletku ali ne najmanje važno: da li uopšte imamo adekvatne i valjano promišljene odrednice i granice onoga što smatramo presudnim za pojam zajednice, kao i za korelativni pojam pojedinca

3D Visualizations in Learning: An Evaluation of an AR+Core Application for Computer Hardware Education using the Hedonic Motivation System Adoption Model
This study delineated the development of an augmented reality (AR+Core) mobile application to enhance computer hardware education. By offering 3D visualizations of computer internals, the application enables students to immerse in hardware-related learning without the need of actual devices. This virtual approach ensures accessibility from anywhere, making tangible components unnecessary. The Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) informed the design process, while the Hedonic Motivation System Adoption Model (HMSAM) offered insights into technology adoption. Feedback from 7th-grade participants was overwhelmingly positive, with them acknowledging the app's utility, engagement value, and user-friendliness. Notably, the app scored 85 of 100 for its perceived ease of use, underlining its efficacy for the target age group. These results underscore the importance of intuitive and engaging AR educational tools in enhancing learning experiences

Porodica kao etička kategorija
U tekstu se razmatra uloga porodice kao moralno normativne strukture
i diskutuje se način na koji moderno kulturno poništavanje porodice utiče na strukture
intimnosti i na organski doživljaj moralnih normi u zajednici, kao i na kapacitet pojedinaca da uspostavljaju neposredno zajednice bez učešća države. Autori sugerišu
da je antiporodična retorika koja je korišćena da bi se sprovela faktička destrukcija
etičke uloge porodice u modernom društvu u stvari ogolila logičke i etičke slabosti
karakteristične za društvo bez porodice. Oni argumentišu da u vremenu postporodične
kulture psihoterapija igra ulogu zamene za porodicu i omogućava rehabilitaciju etički
formativnih struktura organičnosti koje istovremeno reafirmišu specifično ljudsko dostojanstvo koje je povezano sa sposobnošću osobe za intimnost, poverljivost i pripadanje, i služi kao normativna zaštita od redukcionističke vizije vrednosti ljudskog bića
kao proizlazeće iz njegove sposobnosti da zadovoljava zahteve države artikulisane u
javnoj sferi.The paper discusses the role of the family as a moral normative structure and
explores how the modern cultural demise of the family has impacted intimacy and the
organic reception of moral norms and a sense of commonality between individuals
without the need for institutional mediation. The authors suggest that the anti-family
rhetoric that has been used to facilitate the factual destruction of the ethical role of the
family in modern society has in fact made bare the logical and moral weaknesses inherent in society without a family. They argue that in such an age psychotherapy is the
substitute for family that facilitates the rehabilitation of ethically formative structure
of organicism that at once reaffirms the specifically human dignity associated with the
person’s capacity for intimacy, confidence and belonging, and serves as a normative
protection from a reductionist vision of human value as arising from one’s capacity to
fulfil the demands of the state articulated in a family-adverse public sphere
