    The Praxis School's Marxist Humanism and Mihailo Marković's

    The Praxis School’s Marxist Humanism and Mihailo Marković’s Theory of Communication Christian Fuchs Fuchs, Christian. 2017. The Praxis School’s Marxist Humanism and Mihailo Marković’s Theory of Communication. Critique 45 (1-2): 159-182. Full version: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03017605.2016.1268456 Abstract <159:> Mihailo Marković (1923-2010) was one of the leading members of the Yugoslav Praxis Group. Among other topics, he worked on the theory of communication and dialectical meaning, which makes his approach relevant for a contemporary critical theory of communication. This paper asks: How did Mihailo Marković conceive of communication? Marković turned towards Serbian nationalism and became the Vice-President of the Serbian Socialist Party. Given that nationalism is a particular form of ideological communication, an ideological anti-praxis that communicates the principle of nationhood, a critical theory of communication also needs to engage with aspects of ideology and nationalism. This paper therefore also asks whether there is a nationalist potential in Marković’s theory in particular or even in Marxist humanism in general. For providing answers to these questions, the article revisits Yugoslav praxis philosophy, the concepts of praxis, communication, ideology and nationalism. It shows the importance of a full humanism and the pitfalls of truncated humanism in critical theory in general and the critical theory of communication in particular. Taking into account complete humanism, the paper introduces the concept of praxis communication. Keywords: praxis, praxis philosophy, Yugoslavia, Praxis School, Praxis Group, Mihailo Marković, critical theory of communication, Marxist theory, humanism, nationalism, ideology, praxis communication 1. Introduction The Praxis Group was a community of scholars in Yugoslavia.

    Rituals and Repetitions: the Displacement of Context in Marina Abramović’S Seven Easy Pieces

    RITUALS AND REPETITIONS: THE DISPLACEMENT OF CONTEXT IN MARINA ABRAMOVIĆ’S SEVEN EASY PIECES by Milena Tomic B.F.A., York University, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Fine Arts – Art History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2008 © Milena Tomic, 2008 Abstract This thesis considers Seven Easy Pieces, Marina Abramović’s 2005 cycle of re-performances at the Guggenheim Museum, as part of a broader effort to recuperate the art of the 1960s and 1970s. In re-creating canonical pieces known to her solely through fragmentary documentation, Abramović helped to bring into focus how performances by Joseph Beuys, Bruce Nauman, Gina Pane, Vito Acconci, Valie Export, and herself were being re-coded by the mediating institutions. Stressing the production of difference, my analysis revolves around two of the pieces in detail. First, the Deleuzian insight that repetition produces difference sheds light on the artist’s embellishment of her own Lips of Thomas (1975) with a series of Yugoslav partisan symbols. What follows is an examination of the enduring role of this iconography, exploring the 1970s Yugoslav context as well as the more recent phenomenon of “Balkan Art,” an exhibition trend drawing upon orientalizing discourse. While the very presence of these works in Tito’s Yugoslavia complicates the situation, I show how the transplanted vocabulary of body art may be read against the complex interweaving of official rhetoric and dissident activity. I focus on two distinct interpretations of Marxism: first, the official emphasis on discipline and the body as material producer, and second, the critique of the cult of personality as well as dissident notions about the role of practice in social transformation.

Oh, sacred struggle between the left and the right, on This Day and on the Day of Judgment, I stand on the far left, the very far left. Be‑ cause, only a terrible cry against Nonsense can accelerate the whisper of a new Sense. It was with this paragraph that August Cesarec ended his manifesto ‘Two Orientations’, published in the second issue of the “bimonthly for all cultural problems” Plamen (Zagreb, 1919; 15 issues in total), which he co‑edited with Miroslav Krleža. With a strong dose of revolutionary euphoria and ex‑ pressionistic messianic pathos, the manifesto demonstrated the ideational and political platform of the magazine, founded by the two avant‑garde writers from Zagreb, activists of the left wing of the Social Democratic Party of Croatia, after the October Revolution and the First World War. It was the struggle between the two orientations, the world social revolution led by Bolshevik Russia on the one hand, and the world of bourgeois counter‑revolution led by the Entente Forces on the other, that was for Cesarec pivot‑ al in determining the future of Europe and mankind, and therefore also of the newly founded Kingdom of Serbs, Cro‑ ats and Slovenes (Kingdom of SCS), which had allied itself with the counter‑revolutionary bloc.

H ERMENEUTIC R ESPONSIBILITY VATTIMO, GADAMER, AND THE IMPETUS OF INTERPRETIVE ENGAGEMENT THEODORE GEORGE Texas A&M University Few fields of study have drawn more attention to questions of responsibility—moral, social, and political—than contemporary Continental philosophy. In recent writings, Gianni Vattimo has returned to focus on his radical, even revolutionary hermeneutical considerations of responsibility.1 Within this context, his Gifford Lectures and related essays (published as Of Reality: The Purposes of Philosophy) address questions of hermeneutic responsibility elicited by the renewed philosophical interest in realism in our times. For Vattimo, as we shall see, it is our hermeneutical responsibility to resist, even to engage in interpretive conflict against, what he will describe as the “temptation of realism.” Both within the discipline of philosophy and in larger spheres of society and politics, realism is often lauded not only as, say, a metaphysical position but, moreover, as an ideal or even as an attitude.2 ‘Realism’ often stands for belief in the progress of knowledge through research in the sciences, suspicion of intellectual sophistication that obscures the facts, and, accordingly, trust in sound common sense.

    Poietic Notion of Practice and Its Cultural Context Praxis Philosophy in the Political, Theoretical and Artistic Turmoils in the 1960s1 221 Borislav MIKULIĆ Abstract: The aim of this essay is to present the philosophy of praxis as a theoretical medium which embodies the aspects of the high and popular cul- ture in the 1960s in Croatia and former Yugoslavia. The first part deals with the topic of the lack of references to praxis in the recent contribution to the ethnography of socialism and cultural studies as a symptom of scientific reduc- tionism; in the second part some arguments are presented for the relevance of philosophy in general and praxis in particular, as a (meta-)cultural form. The third part presents and comments the conflict regarding the theory of reflection, which has marked the thinking in different theoretical fields in the 1950s, and which became the foundational event for the praxis itself. The author is trying to provide a philosophically immanent political interpretation of the paradox that the philosophical/theoretical criticism of Stalinism leads philosophy to a direct conflict with the political apparatus in power which has itself carried out the same critique during dramatic political process in 1948. In the final part, the text points out, on the one hand, to the philosophical theorem of sponta- neity in art as a fundament of the praxis concept of autonomy of the subject, and on the other, to the striking lack of references, within the mainstream of praxis, to the avant-garde political conception of art of the EXAT 51 group from early 1950s; the text outlines the reasons for interpretation of this meta- theory of art as a political anticipation of praxis.

    Towards a Critical Hermeneutics of Populism

    Critical Hermeneutics, special (2019) Articolo presentato il 25/5/2019 Biannual International Journal of Philosophy Articolo accettato il 27/5/2019 http://ojs.unica.it/index.php/ecch/index Articolo pubblicato il 1/6/2019 ISSN 2533-1825 (on line); DOI 10.13125/CH/3711 Towards a Critical Hermeneutics of Populism Gonçalo Marcelo Abstract This paper aims to define and set the goals of what it calls a ‘Critical Hermeneutics of Populism’. Starting with the diagnosis of the ascent of rightwing populism being directly tied with the democratic legitimation deficit and the social problems caused by neoliberal policies, it assesses populist phenomena through the lens of hermeneutics. It argues that populism is not an entirely irrational phenomenon and that in spite of some common features of its intrinsic logic, substantive differences ex- ist between left (or progressive) political proposals and their rightwing, exclusionary counterparts. The paper claims that only an assessment of the discourses, values, and practices put forward by each political proposal that can be dubbed ‘populist’ will reveal its perils and prom- ises, and help distinguish which types of populism are lethal to liberal democracy, and which can actually help to deepen it. Finally, it argues that given the interpretative and potentially transformative features of Hermeneutics, a Critical Hermeneutics of populism might be the ap- proach providing us with the best tools to operate such distinctions. Keywords: Critical Theory, democracy, hermeneutics, populism 1. Introduction There is hardly a more urgent matter for social and political theory today than tackling the newfound force of populism. My aim in this paper is to lay the ground for what could be called a critical hermeneu- tics of the various, widespread phenomena of populism.
