War In Ukraine and Facebook Emoji Wars
Istraživanje je bazirano na analizi sadržaja i statističkoj analizi reakcija i interakcija u vezi sa najpopularnijim objavama njuz-portala o ratu u Ukrajini na srpskom jeziku tokom prve godine rata. Analizirane objave imale su ukupno 92. 693 interakcije i 264. 115 reakcija na Fejsbuku, u sedam mogućih formi: „like“, „love“, „care“, „wow“, „angry“, „haha“ i „sad“, pri čemu je najzastupljenija bila „like“ (84, 5%), a najzastupljeniji emodži „haha“ (8, 8%). Cilj istraživanja je identifikacija modela interakcija i reakcija u vezi sa objavama o ratu u Ukrajini, s fokusom na upotrebu emodžija, kao i identifikacija uređivačkih strategija kojima se intenzivira popularnost objave. Gotovo svi posmatrani naslovi o ratu u Ukrajini sadrže određeni vid dramatizacije, prenaglašavanja ili fatalizacije. Dok se agens javlja dvojako, i kao pojedinac i kao država, pacijens je retko kada pojedinac. Od 50 najpopularnijih naslova samo dva govore o žrtvama kao individuama. Analiza emodžija pokazuje da publika surovije reaguje na naslove o ratu i stradanjima kada pojedinačne žrtve nisu istaknute, kada su nevidljive. Veliki broj popularnih naslova osmišljen je tendenciozno, kao podloga za iskazivanje podsmeha, cinizma i užitka u nevolji. U takvom okruženju se sistemom hvatanja u kolo gomilaju neempatične i impulsivne reakcije, a korisnici bivaju ohrabreni da se i sami pridruže likovanju nad stradanjima i navijanju za dalju eskalaciju sukoba.The research is based on content analysis and statistical analysis of reactions and interactions related to the most popular online media posts about the war in Ukraine in
the Serbian language during the first year of the war. The analyzed posts had a total of
92, 693 interactions and 264, 115 reactions in seven forms: “like”, “love”, “care”, “wow“,
“angry”, “haha” and “sad”. Among them, expectedly, the most common is “like,” with
a participation rate of 84. 47%, followed by “haha” with 8. 8%. The aim of the research
was to identify patterns of interactions and reactions related to posts about the war
in Ukraine, focusing on the use of emojis, as well as identifying editorial strategies that
intensify the popularity of the post. Almost all observed headlines contain some form
of dramatization, exaggeration, or fatalism. Emoji analysis shows that the audience
reacts more harshly to headlines about war and suffering when individual victims are
not highlighted, when they are invisible. Assuming that mainstream media content
caters to the average consumer and meets their expectations, it is clear why the most
popular texts about the war in Ukraine are pro-Russian. The portrayal of war in the
headlines of these texts is extremely simplified, fairy-tale binary, primarily interested
in emphasizing Russian dominance and power. A large number of popular headlines
are then used as a basis for expressing sneer, cynicism, and enjoyment in misfortune
(German: Schadenfreude). Administrators of Facebook pages and websites of observed portals have a precise insight into what kind of content triggers mass reactions,
so they choose topics, approaches, and headline formulations accordingly. In such an
environment, a system of bandwagoning accumulates unempathetic and impulsive
reactions, and users are encouraged to join in rejoicing over suffering and cheering for
further escalation of conflict
What Is ‘Perpetual Change’? Concept or Protocol(s) of Change in John Ruskin as Substance of Architectural Writing
As an architect and philosopher respectively, we have written a two‑part text (architectural‑philosophical) that would present the main outlines and figures of writing about architecture and architectural writing in John Ruskin. His endeavour to describe buildings and cities transformed into an imperative to find ‘the substance of the architectural’, simultaneously preserving the utmost significance of its ontological aspect, that is, change. We reconstruct Ruskin’s understanding of various protocols of ‘change’ in two different ways: first, within the general difficulty in the histories of Western culture and thought to determine ‘change’ (which is certainly not a Western invention), and where Ruskin’s contribution is crucial. Further, we understand Ruskin’s project as being in a state of tension between continuous amendment of his written description of buildings, while defending the paradoxical intransience of change that goes beyond the objects in which it is manifested. Ruskin’s method of endless correction and revision thus becomes an introduction to the preservation of the unadaptable and unchanging, and then also the beautiful
A Portrait in Words: Ksenija Atanasijević on José Ortega y Gasset
Ksenija Atanasijević u značajnoj je meri doprinela uvođenju misli Hosea
Ortege i Gaseta u prostor srpskog jezika. Ovom filozofu raciovitalizma posvetila je
jedan svoj pozni članak, objavljen 1967. godine. Može se tvrditi da taj tekst sintetičkog
karaktera pripada žanru filozofskog portreta, u kome se prevashodno govori o delu i
teorijskim stajalištima određenog autora, pored izlaganja podataka iz njegovog života, te da portretisanje jednog mislioca nije svodivo na njegovu vizuelnoumetničku
reprezentaciju. Pre usmeravanja žiže na članak o kome je reč, napravljen je osvrt na
istoriju pisanja o Ortegi i uopšte prijem njegove misli u Jugoslaviji, kao i na prisustvo
španskih autora i motiva u spisima Ksenije Atanasijević. Jedan od naglasaka stavljen
je na sporne tvrdnje o madridskom filozofu, odnosno njegovom delu.Ksenija Atanasijević significantly contributed to the introduction of the thoughts
of José Ortega y Gasset into the area of the Serbian language. She dedicated one of
her late articles, published in 1967, to this philosopher of ratiovitalism. It can be argued that this text of a synthetic character belongs to the genre of philosophical portrait, in which the work and theoretical positions of a certain author are primarily discussed, in addition to the presentation of data from his life, and that the portrayal of
a thinker cannot be reduced to his visual-artistic representation. Before focusing on
the article in question, a review was made of the history of writing about Ortega and
the general reception of his thought in Yugoslavia, as well as the presence of Spanish
authors and motifs in the writings of Ksenia Atanasijević. One of the emphasis is
placed on disputed claims about the Madridian philosopher, that is, his work
Controversial transformation of industrial spaces: Case of the Belgrade Waterfront, Serbia
During a 30-year long transition period with quite turbulent economic and political dynamics, the capital of Serbia has been left with numerous abandoned industrial sites and structures. Further, in the last two decades, Belgrade has been undergoing radical urbanization processes with the Belgrade Waterfront being the largest urban-mega project. It has been controversial from the very beginning because of the politics-led decision-making, lack of transparency, weak civil engagement and criticism received from numerous experts in the field of architecture and urban planning (Peric, Maruna & Nedović-Budić, 2022). Many old structures have been transformed or removed, such as the main train station and the railway, which completely changed the sense of place (Feld and Basso, 1996).
The chapter focuses on one potentially good aspect of this transformation – the old railway roundhouse with the coal burning room and water tower, structures which had been abandoned and neglected for
decades. Now, they are in the process of becoming protected as part of the cultural and industrial heritage of Belgrade. Moreover, the current plan is to reconstruct them and transform them into cultural and creative hubs. Considering the fact that most other structures in the Belgrade Waterfront have been removed or decontextualized, this case shows good practice for the revitalization of old, neglected structures. This is something which is very much needed in the context of questionable, radical urban transformations that imply destruction or damaging of heritage.
The chapter investigates this particular initiative, both regarding the heritage protection process and urban transformation. Through archival research, the author aims to provide evidence for the historical and cultural significance of this site. Urban and architectural plans are consulted in order to offer a wider picture of the whole transformation process of this area. By analyzing media sources and through interviews with key experts, the whole initiative is scrutinized from historic, urban, economic, political, social, and ecological perspectives
Unrealized potential: ombuds institutions and oversight of cybersecurity in the Western Balkans
Nancy Fraser and Politics
When Nancy Fraser’s name is mentioned, the terms that most readily
come to mind are ‘Marxist feminism’ and ‘critical theory’. While
feminism is undoubtedly a hugely contested term and a hardly surveyable field of study criss-crossed by all kinds of disciplinary and
political-ideological boundaries, critical theory is an even harder
case of battling definitions and fluid boundaries. We therefore find it
important to spell out clearly, at the outset, what it means to say that
Nancy Fraser is a critical theorist, which requires that we explain a
thing or two about what critical theory is – for us
