What political and ideological position did these leading Serbian intellectuals-dissidents occupy in the years and decades following the protest?

Even though Belgrade student protests emerged and ended abruptly after only seven days in June of 1968, they came as a cumulative point of a decade-long accumulated social dissatisfaction and antagonisms, as well as of philosophical investigations of the unorthodox Marxists of the Praxis school (Praksisovci). It surprised the Yugoslav authorities as the first massive rebellion after WWII to explicitly criticize rising social inequality, bureaucratization and unemployment and demand free speech and abolishment of privileges. This article focuses on the intellectual destiny and legacy of the eight professors from the Faculty of Philosophy close to the Praxis school, who were identified as the protests’ instigators and subsequently expelled from the University of Belgrade due to their “ethico-political unsuitability”. Under both international and domestic pressure, they were later reemployed in a separate research unit named the Centre for Philosophy and Social Theory, where they kept their critical edge and argued for political pluralism. From the late 1980s onwards, they and their colleagues became politically active and at times occupied the highest positions in Serbia – Dragoljub Mićunović as one of the founders of the modern Democratic Party and the Speaker of the Parliament, former Serbian President and Prime Minister Vojislav Koštunica and former Prime Minister late Zoran Đinđić. Still, while some members became strong anti-nationalists and anti-war activists, other embraced Serbian nationalism, therefore pivoting the intellectual split into the so called First and Second Serbia that marked Serbian society during the 1990s and remained influential to this day.

Iako su beogradski studentski protesti izbili i završili se u junu 1968. godine posle svega nedelju dana, oni predstavljaju zbirnu tačku nagomilanog decenijskog društvenog nezadovoljstva i protivrečnosti, kao i filozofskih istraživanja neortodoksnih marksista iz Praksis škole (Praksisovci). Protesti su iznenadili jugoslovenske vlasti kao prva masovna pobuna nakon Drugog svetskog rata koja je eksplicitno kritikovala rastuću društvenu nejednakost, birokratizaciju i nezaposlenost, i zahtevala slobodu govora i ukidanje privilegija. Ovaj članak fokusira se na sudbinu osmoro profesora sa Filozofskog fakulteta u Beogradu bliskih Praksis idejama, koje je režim identifikovao kao podstrekače protesta i kasnije ih proterao sa fakulteta zbog njihove „moralno-političke nepodobnosti“. Nakon međunarodnih i unutrašnjih pritisaka, oni su kasnije ponovo zaposleni u zasebnoj istraživačkoj jedinici nazvanoj Centar za filozofiju i društvenu teoriju, gde su zadržali svoju kritičku oštricu i zagovarali politički pluralizam. Od kraja osamdesetih godina prošlog veka, oni i njihove kolege iz Centra postaju politički aktivni, nalaze se među osnivačima i kasnije liderima Demokratske Stranke i povremeno zauzimaju najviše položaje u Srbiji – Dragoljub Mićunović kao predsedavajući Narodne skupštine, bivši srpski predsednik i premijer Vojislav Koštunica i nekadašnji premijer Zoran Đinđić. Međutim, dok su neki članovi osmorke i Centra postali čvrsti antinacionalisti i antiratni aktivisti, drugi su prigrlili srpski nacionalizam, tako predvodeći intelektualni razdor na Prvu i Drugi Srbiju koji je obeležio srpsko društvo devedesetih godina prošlog veka, i ostao uticajan do danas.

Tekst preispituje značenje pojma reforme. Da li je reforma čin ili proces; šta je objekt reforme i kako se ona izvodi; da li je domet njenog delovanja ograničen ili zahvata dublje društvene strukture? Pojmu reforme se prilazi genealoški, posredstvom analize ustanovljenja institucije zatvora u Velikoj Britaniji u XVIII i XIX veku. Premda se analizira specifično razdoblje i podneblje, iz ovog mikrouzorka se izvode zaključci koji nadilaze istorijski uslovljenu analizu. Cilj teksta je da se pokaže da se reforma mora razumeti kao izraz i učinak duboke transformacije političkog, i kao obuhvatan, multilateralan i disperzivan proces koji prodire i na te meljan način menja postojeće društvene odnose.

The paper examines the meanings of the notion of reform. Is reform an act or a process; what is an object of reform and how is it performed; is the scope of its performance limited or does it permeate deeper social structures? The approach to reform in this paper is genealogical, through the analysis of the processes of institutionalisation of the prison in Great Britain in 18th and 19th centuries. Although the elaboration of these processes revolves around a particular era and place, this micro-sample gives rise to conclusions that surpass historically conditioned analysis. The aim of this paper is to show that reform has to be understood as an expression and effect of a profound transformation of the political, as well as the complex, multilateral and dispersive process which penetrates into and alters extant social relations.

Participation in deliberation in stable democracies produces effects which are beneficial for democracy, while the results of deliberative innovations in non-democracies are more ambiguous. This article contributes to the debate about the effects of participatory democratic innovations on attitudes, related to democratic commitments, political capacities and political participation, in the increasingly ubiquitous hybrid regimes. We present the evidence collected from the participants before and after deliberative mini publics (DMPs), held in Serbia in 2020. Serbia is an exemplary case of a recent wave of autocratization, which had led to it becoming a hybrid regime, and it had no track record of deliberative innovations. When conducting the mini publics, we introduced an innovation in the standard design, by including active citizens – representatives of local initiatives or social movements particularly interested in the issue of DMPs. We could not find evidence that the democratic innovation affected attitudes of participants regarding democratic commitments, political capacities and political participation. However, we did find that participants of the DMPs became less satisfied with the functioning of the democracy on the local level. We argue that the anti-democratic wider context of hybrid regimes can produce adverse effects when introducing participatory democratic innovations, at least when it comes to this specific dimension of political participation. We conclude with the suggestions for further research, and a call for consideration of the wider political context when designing democratic interventions in hybrid regimes.

U stabilnim demokratijama učešće u deliberaciji proizvodi efekte koji pogoduju demokratiji, dok su rezultati deliberativnih inovacija u nedemokratijama neodređeniji. Ovaj članak predstavlja doprinos debati o efektima participatornih demokratskih inovacija na stavove o privrženosti demokratiji, političkom kapacitetu i političkoj participaciji u sve prisutnijim hibridnim režimima. U radu predstavljamo rezultate ispitivanja učesnika, pre i posle njihovog učešća u deliberativnim mini javnostima (DMJ), održanih u Srbiji 2020. godine. Srbija predstavlja uzorni slučaj poslednjeg talasa autokratizacije, putem kog je postala hibridni režim, i pored toga nema razvijenu praksu deliberativnih inovacija. Prilikom sprovođenja mini-javnosti, uveli smo inovaciju u uobičajeni dizajn, tako što su uključeni i aktivni građani - predstavnici lokalnih inicijativa ili društvenih pokreta koji su bili posebno zainteresovani za temu DMJ. Naši nalazi nisu pokazali da je demokratska inovacija uticala na promenu stavova učesnika o pri-vrženosti demokratiji, političkom kapacitetu i političkoj participaciji. Međutim, utvrdili smo da su učesnici DMJ bili manje zadovoljni funkcionisanjem demokratije na lokalnom nivou. Ovo objašnjavamo širim, anti-demokratskim kontekstom hibridnih režima, koji proizvodi neželjene efekte prilikom uvođenja demokratskih inovacija, bar kada se radi o ovim specifičnim dimenzijama političke participacije. Zaključujemo članak sa predlozima za buduća istraživanja, i preporukom da se prilikom dizajniranja demokratskih intervencija u hibridnim režimima uvaže specifičnosti šireg političkog konteksta.

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.

Tvrdićemo da pozitivistička epistemologija iz ranefaze razvoja društvenih nauka i dalje u velikoj meri utiče na na šerazumevanje društvenog angažmana. U prvom delu rada, analiziraćemo epistemologiju društvenih nauka koju su zagovarali Furije i Sen Simon kako bismo pokazali da je za njih naučni metod pre sve ga predstavljao sredstvo za usmerenje društvene promene i projekciju privatnih želja i planova na javnu sferu. U drugom delu rada ćemo ponuditi alternativno obrazloženje društvenog angažmana služeći se epistemičkom ulogom zajednice koju nalazimo u pragmatizmu.

The article focuses on a passage from Carl Schmitt’s 𝑬𝒙 𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑺𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒔 – a book famously written in a Nurnberg prison in 1946 – in which he draws, from memory, on a story derived from Serbian epic poetry, to justify his understanding of historiography, victory, and the figure of the hero. Analyzing the entire Serbian epic poem from which Schmitt extracts the vignette in question, we show how the text of the poem presents a significantly more complicated and messy picture of the figures of victor, victory, and hero, heroism. The anonymous Serbian poet, addressing himself to his contemporary audience, with which he is intimately familiar, really subverts simplistic expectations regarding the heroism and victory of the Serbian hero, Marko Kraljević. Finally, the article contrasts these complex and at times paradoxical figures of victory and the hero in the poem with their presentation in Carl Schmitt’s writing.

U tom pasusu se Šmit oslanja na detalj iz srpske narodne epske pesme kako bi argumentovao svoje razumevanje istoriografije, pobede i figure junaka. Analizirajući celu pesmu Marko Kraljević i Musa Kesedžija, iz koje Šmit preuzima anegdotu o junaku Marku, u članku se ukazuje na to da su koncepti pobede, pobednika, junaka i junaštva u samoj pesmi znatno komplikovaniji i neuredniji od one koju Šmit predstavlja. Obraćajući se publici koju vrlo dobro poznaje, srpski pevač podriva pojednostavljena očekivanja o junaštvu i pobedi srpskog junaka, Marka Kraljevića. Članak zaključuje da je ova komplikovana slika iz same pesme daleko od pojednostavljene i manipulativne slike koju nudi Šmit.

Asger Sørensen’s “𝑨𝒍𝒊é𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝑬𝒏𝒕𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒅𝒖𝒏𝒈 – and Alienation. Hegel’s Solidary Displacement of Diderot” presents a thorough analysis of the origins and evolution of Hegel’s concept of alienation. The author starts from the Hegelian premise that “knowledge of the becoming of a concept always adds to the truth of the matter”, and embarks on a careful reconstruction of the trajectory of alienation, from its first appearance in Diderot’s 𝑹𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒖’𝒔 𝑵𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒘, through Goethe’s translation of Diderot to Hegel’s appropriation, via Goethe, of the term in the 𝑷𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚. The author’s original contribution to Hegel scholarship is to be found in his demonstration that, even though Hegel does not use the term “Entfremdung” when discussing, in the 𝑷𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 a crucial episode in 𝑹𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒖’𝒔 𝑵𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒘 in which Diderot uses “aliénation”, Hegel’s conceptualization of Entfremdung in these passages clearly refers to (and expands upon) the form of social pathology that Diderot had put his finger on through the portrayal of the figure of 𝑳𝒖𝒊. The author shows that Hegel’s difficult and multidimensional conceptualization of alienation can be traced back to (and even unlocked through) Diderot’s powerful literary critique of the societal contradictions of his day epitomized by 𝑳𝒖𝒊.

𝗔𝘀𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗻 o književnim korenima Hegelovog pojma otuđenja u Didroovom 𝑹𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒐𝒗𝒐𝒎 𝒏𝒆ć𝒂𝒌𝒖.

Tekst Asgera Serensena „𝑨𝒍𝒊é𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝑬𝒏𝒕𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒅𝒖𝒏𝒈 – and Alienation. Hegel’s Solidary Displacement of Diderot” (𝑨𝒍𝒊é𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝑬𝒏𝒕𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒅𝒖𝒏𝒈 – i otuđenje. Hegelovo solidarno dislociranje Didroa) predstavlja detaljnu analizu porekla i evolucije Hegelove koncepcije otuđenja. Autor polazi od hegelijanske premise da „saznanje o nastanku pojma uvek doprinosi istinitom poimanju stvari“, i kreće u pažljivu rekonstrukciju pojmovne trajektorije otuđenja, od njegovog prvog pojavljivanja u Didroovom 𝑹𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒐𝒗𝒐𝒎 𝒏𝒆ć𝒂𝒌𝒖, preko Geteovog prevoda Didroa do Hegelove, Geteom posredovane, aproprijacije pojma u 𝑭𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒋𝒊 𝒅𝒖𝒉𝒂. Autorov originalni doprinos analizama Hegelovog rada sastoji se pre svega u ubedljivom pokazivanju da, iako Hegel ne koristi pojam 𝑬𝒏𝒕𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒅𝒖𝒏𝒈 kada u 𝑭𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒋𝒊 govori o ključnoj epizodi u 𝑹𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒐𝒗𝒐𝒎 𝒏𝒆ć𝒂𝒌𝒖 u kojoj Didro koristi termin aliénation, Hegelova konceptualizacija otuđenja u ovom delu 𝑭𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒋𝒆 se jasno oslanja na (i proširuje) shvatanje određene socijalne patologije koja je u Didroovom delu personifikovana u liku ,,Njega” (Lui). Serensen pokazuje da pomoću Didroove lucidne kritike društvenih kontradikcija svog vremena otelotvorenih u Lui-ju možemo bolje razumeti ne samo genezu već i složenost i višedimenzionalnost Hegelovog pojma otuđenja.
