Kulturna potrošnja i proizvodnja kroz prizmu poluperiferijalnosti

Abstract

U ovom radu se analizira teorijski i epistemološki doprinos poluperiferijskog pristupa razvijenog u radu Marine Blagojević Hjuson na planu socioloških istraživanja kulturne potrošnje i proizvodnje. U prvom delu rada prikazuju se karakteristike poluperiferijskog pristupa Blagojević Hjuson s posebnim osvrtom na odnos između teorije poluperiferijalnosti i postkolonijalne sociologije. U drugom delu rada ispituju se saznajni i teorijski benefiti koje ovako shvaćen koncept poluperiferije ima na planu istraživanja iz domena sociologije kulture. Na primeru najznačajnijih istraživanja iz domena sociologije kulturne potrošnje i kulturne proizvodnje analizira se šta osetljivost za poluperiferijsku perspektivu donosi na saznajnom planu u ovim istraživačkim oblastima. U radu se zagovara teza da poluperiferijski pristup omogućava da se adekvatnije istraže različiti kulturni fenomeni i forme odnošenja prema objektima i pojavama iz sfere kulture, i to ne samo u vidu preciznijeg mapiranja razlika između ovih pojava u društvima centra, poluperiferije i periferije, već i da podstiče kritičku interpretaciju kulturnih i simboličkih elemenata društvenog poretka u kontekstu globalne raspodele moći. Prednosti upotrebe poluperiferijskog pristupa ogledaju se na konceptualnom nivou, s jedne strane u vidu kritičkog pristupa pojmovnoj aparaturi razvijenoj u istraživanjima sprovedenim u centru, a s druge strane u podsticaju originalnog teorijskog razvoja na poluperiferiji.

This paper analyses the theoretical and the epistemological contribution of the semi - peripheral approach developed in the work of Marina Blagojević Hughson to the contemporary sociological study of cultural production and consumption. The first part of the paper presents characteristics of the semiperipheral approach of Blagojević Hughson with special reference to the relationship between the theory of semiperipherality and postcolonial sociology. The second part of the paper examines the cognitive and theoretical benefits of the concept of semiperiphery as Blagojevic had articulated it, in terms of research in the field of sociology of culture. On the example of the most significant research projects in the field of sociology of cultural consumption and cultural production, it is examined what implementation of semiperipheral perspective brings in these research areas. It argued that the semiperipheral approach enables more adequate research of various cultural phenomena and attitudes towards objects and phenomena from the sphere of culture, not only in the form of precise mapping of differences between these phenomena in the centre, semiperiphery, and periphery, but it also encourages critical interpretation of cultural and symbolic elements of the social order in the context of the global distribution of power. Advantages of using the semiperipheral approach are reflected on a conceptual level - on the one hand in the form of a critical approach to the conceptual apparatus developed in research conducted at the centre, and on the other hand in encouraging original theoretical development on the semiperiphery.
