Programska knjižica - Hrvatsko filozofsko društvo

In the modern society, the options, subjective preferences, and external
behaviour of human agents are all form-determined by the endless circulation
of commodities and money. In this form of social organization, which may be
termed dissociated sociality, “the absolute mutual dependence of individuals,
who are indifferent to one another, constitutes their social connection”.
The last intention of Sutlić’s book Praksa rada kao znanstvena povijest is
not an absolute establishment of the non-alienated work, work outside its division,
but a preparation of a different character of a historical joint. For such a focusing
of historical thought, regrettably not continued in the recent Croatian philosophy,
the question of subjectivity production is undoubtedly very stimulating.
And perhaps it is actually relevant for the understanding of the notion on capital
inside our bodies, in other words, about us as the integral body of capital.

“PUNK IS A SYMPTOM”: INTERSECTIONS OF PHILOSOPHY
AND ALTERNATIVE CULTURE IN THE 1980’S SLOVENIA
All over Yugoslavia the eighties were marked by an appearance of a great
number of new alternative culture movements, while at the same time significant
new ideas were introduced in the field of philosophy and theory in general.
The proposed paper focuses on a particular example of dialogue between
theory and culture in this period: on the three special issues of the journal
Problemi in 1981, 1982 and 1983 that were dedicated to the punk movement,
i.e. the so-called Punk Problemi. It begins by analyzing the editorial to the first
of these three issues, written by Slavoj Žižek and his alleged “agreement” with
the thesis that punk should be viewed as a symptom. The discrepancy between
the critics of punk and the viewpoint of the editorship of the Problemi and their
contributors is further explored through the analysis of the articles published
in the three special editions. Finally the Punk Problemi will be juxtaposed to
developments in theory in the early eighties, especially the works on the theory
of ideology.
