AB  - Oslonjeni pre svega na analize i sugestije Ransijera i Levi-Strosa, autori rada nastoje da izlože kritiku hijerarhijski vrednovanih orijentira putovanja i obrazovanja. Prvi deo rada posvećen je zapadnim putnicima i njihovom „civilizatorskom“ odnosu prema drugim, dotad nepoznatim, predelima i narodima. Drugim delom rada ustanovljava se analogni obrazac i kada je reč o odnosu koji se uspostavlja u obrazovnom procesu, u kojem takođe novo i nepoznato valja savladati, osvojiti i pokoriti neupitnim znanjem. U zaključku se sugeriše mogućnost dekonstrukcije predefinisanog poretka civilizacije i/ili znanja, ne bi li se najavila mogućnost afirmisanja razlike, bez dominacije i učenja, bez jednoznačnog objašnjenja; mogućnost koja bi možda mogla da se ostvari s odstupanjem od iluzije o univerzalnoj merodavnosti Znanja i njegovog posednika.
AB  - Relying primarily on the analyses and suggestions by Rancière and Lévi-Strauss, the authors of this paper endeavour to present a critique of the hierarchically valued landmarks of travelling and education. The first part of the paper is dedicated to Western travellers and their ‘civilising’ treatment of other landscapes and peoples, previously unknown. The second part of the paper identifies an analogous pattern when it comes to relationship established in the educational process, where the new and the unknown also have to be mastered, conquered, and subdued by unquestionable knowledge. The conclusion suggests the possibility of deconstructing the predefined system of civilisation and/or knowledge, with a view to creating the possibility for the affirmation of differences without domination, as well as learning without an unambiguous explanation, a possibility that may perhaps materialise with the abandoning of the illusion about the universal authority of Knowledge and its possessor.

Which Public, Whose Affair: The Aporia of Republic(anism)

AB  - The Republic always represented a certain emancipatory idea, a password, 
or a flag, which stood up against imperial tyranny (Rome) or hereditary 
monarchy (France). But that performance was neither unison nor 
monochrome. Perhaps the purest, ideal-type representation of the republic, 
with all the paradoxes and/or contradictions of its discourse, is offered by a 
republic that in the political sense could not be called by that name, or 
perhaps it was just a crypto-political republic, a so-called metaphor of the
republic that, all the more, reveals its constitutive fragility. Respublica 
literaria is not a „real" republic, but it is not a complete chimera either: it 
had its members, but no citizenship that guarantees anything. It did not 
have its territorial boundaries, but it also knew how to limit the conditions 
of belonging to it – by proving a standard that we could maybe call 
intellectualistic, but a standard that was engaged inside communication. 
This is the contradiction we would like to expose in this paper. The fact that 
Respublica literaria consistently, to the point of paroxysm, followed the 
principle that it is not a private but a public matter and that this occurred 
alongside the fact that the public space, or the space of that public, was very 
limited, and more transparently indicated than usual. The characteristic not 
only of that republic but something like perhaps the fate of each: the first 
act of the French republic was the closing of the borders, similar to the 
Soviet one. The question is therefore whether the republic can exist in a 
14
universal way or whether it implies exclusion. And vice versa, is the act of 
demarcation inevitable when establishing a republic that otherwise aspires 
to universality

AB  - Different educational paradigms are often represented by the same metaphor:
the metaphor of a journey. In the first part of the paper, typical examples of equating
education with travelling are presented and the underlying reasons for their connection
are reconstructed. Then, the metaphor of wandering is contrasted with that of travelling –
precisely to highlight its overlooked, forgotten, or neglected, but at least equally valuable
educational potential. Finally, it is suggested to abandon the vision of a predefined set of
values that education represents, in favour of opening up the possibilities offered by the
diversity of its paths. Through a critical analysis of the understanding of the journeys of
Odysseus, Rousseau’s Emile, and Robinson Crusoe, as analogues of educational adventures,
it is shown that it is neither advisable nor fruitful to uncritically adopt and follow a
pattern where the beginning of education (the point of departure) and its goal (the point
of arrival or destination) are strictly predefined, especially if it entails the exclusion of any
deviation from the trajectory connecting the „origin” and „destination”. Inspiration and
a kind of code for an alternative model of educational procedure, which would avoid the
shortcomings of its understanding as a more or less straight-line and one-dimensional
transfer of knowledge and skills, are found in Derrida’s concept of dérive.

Phraseology ‘without Meaning’: Politics of Emptiness

AB  - We have heard many times expressions such as: “empty words”, “empty talk”, “hot air”, but is there really an empty “phraseology”, one that does not mean anything, i.e., that does not have a clear referent (the idea it refers to)? Showing the possibilities of such phraseology without meaning, the paper examines its use in politics, focusing on bureaucratic language that shapes our political reality, and can be found in many constitutional documents of the EU, US, or even UN. Namely, we will try to show that between general and particular meaning, there is a huge gap, an emptiness, which is used by a certain type of speech, in order to absorb every other language and its performative powers. Our criticism will move in two directions: the first has the task of showing the meaning(less) character of political bureaucratic phraseology as such, and its passivizing or non-affirmative effects. The other one comes down to examining the ideological background of Eurocentrism, detecting the hegemonic character of the idea of Europe (and Western civilizations) embedded in its political language. Starting from Ernesto Laclau’s understanding of the “empty signifier” and the necessary function it has in the foundation of the system (especially a hegemonic one), through the history of the discourse of the idea of Europe, we will show the possibility and use of “emptiness” in meaning, especially when it comes to core values that are set for the foundation of one’s politics.
AB  - Više puta smo čuli za izraze poput „prazne reči“, „prazna priča“, „mlati praznu slamu“, ali da li zaista postoji prazna frazeologija, koja ništa ne znači, koja nema jasnog referenta (ideju na koju upućuje)? Prikazujući mogućnost takve frazeologije bez značenja, rad ispituje njenu upotrebu u politici, fokusirajući se na birokratski jezik koji utiče na oblikovanje političke stvarnosti, a nalazi se u mnogim ustavnim ili vrednosno utemeljujućim dokumentima, EU, Amerike, pa čak i UN-a. Pokušaćemo da pokažemo da između opšteg i pojedinačnog značenja postoji ogromna praznina, praznina koju određena vrsta govora koristi kako bi apsorbovala svaki drugi jezik sa svim njegovim performativnim moćima. Kritika takve frazeologije kretaće se u dva pravca: prvi ima zadatak da pokaže (bez)značenjski karakter političke birokratske frazeologije, te njene pasivizirajuće ili neafirmativne efekte. Drugi se svodi na ispitivanje ideološke pozadine evro-centrizma, otkrivanje hegemonističkog karaktera ideje Evrope (ali i Zapadne civilizacije) ugrađene u njen politički jezik. Polazeći od Ernesta Lakloa, njegovog shvatanja „praznog označitelja“ te neophodne funkcije koju taj pojam ima u temeljima svakog sistema (pogotovo hegemonskog), kroz istoriju diskursa ideje Evrope, pokazaćemo mogućnosti i upotrebu „praznine“ u značenju, naročito kada je reč o osnovnim vrednostima koje su ugrađene u temelje jedne politike.

Starting from Ernesto Laclau’s understanding of the “empty signifier” and the necessary function it has in the foundation of the system (especially a hegemonic one), through the history of the discourse of the idea of Europe, we will show the possibility and use of “emptiness” in meaning, especially when it comes to core values that are set for the foundation of one’s politics., Više puta smo čuli za izraze poput „prazne reči“, „prazna priča“, „mlati praznu slamu“, ali da li zaista postoji prazna frazeologija, koja ništa ne znači, koja nema jasnog referenta (ideju na koju upućuje)? Prikazujući mogućnost takve frazeologije bez značenja, rad ispituje njenu upotrebu u politici, fokusirajući se na birokratski jezik koji utiče na oblikovanje političke stvarnosti, a nalazi se u mnogim ustavnim ili vrednosno utemeljujućim dokumentima, EU, Amerike, pa čak i UN-a. Pokušaćemo da pokažemo da između opšteg i pojedinačnog značenja postoji ogromna praznina, praznina koju određena vrsta govora koristi kako bi apsorbovala svaki drugi jezik sa svim njegovim performativnim moćima. Kritika takve frazeologije kretaće se u dva pravca: prvi ima zadatak da pokaže (bez)značenjski karakter političke birokratske frazeologije, te njene pasivizirajuće ili neafirmativne efekte. Drugi se svodi na ispitivanje ideološke pozadine evro-centrizma, otkrivanje hegemonističkog karaktera ideje Evrope (ali i Zapadne civilizacije) ugrađene u njen politički jezik. Polazeći od Ernesta Lakloa, njegovog shvatanja „praznog označitelja“ te neophodne funkcije koju taj pojam ima u temeljima svakog sistema (pogotovo hegemonskog), kroz istoriju diskursa ideje Evrope, pokazaćemo mogućnosti i upotrebu „praznine“ u značenju, naročito kada je reč o osnovnim vrednostima koje su ugrađene u temelje jedne politike.",

AB  - The paper examines two conflicting societal functions of education: on the one hand, education can work to reproduce the existing power relations, indoctrinate students, and assimilate them into the existing social order, but on the other hand, it can also contribute to the emancipation of students and the society as a whole. By contrasting the emancipatory function with the ideological one, I aim to clarify the meaning of individual and social emancipation drawing on the Enlightenment tradition, locate the main ideological forces opposing it in the field of education, as well as suggest some ways in which they can be resisted.  
First, I will explore the core emancipatory educational ideas of the Enlightenment based on three key texts: Rousseau’s Emile, Kant’s “What is Enlightenment?” and Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Next, I will examine the ideological function of education, in particular of neoliberal education, in order to discern the main ways in which contemporary ideology works through education. Based on insights gained, I will suggest several main lines of resistance, capable of strengthening the emancipatory function of education and countering the ideological one in contemporary neoliberal societies.   
In the concluding discussion, I will respond to the critics arguing that the Enlightenment ideal had itself become ideological and had instrumentalized education (Biesta 2008; Osberg & Biesta 2020), which will lead me to make a conceptual distinction between ideology and ideal.

observed and examined through his understanding of Plato and the simulacrum, the 
paper also suggests the possibility of a broader understanding of the role of criticism 
in Deleuze: can critique be understood as a constant methodological approach used 
by Deleuze? Such a position opens a space within which Difference and Repetition can

Particular attention is paid to the understanding the phenomenon of “Death” as a time gap between the past and the present. In connection with this problem, we find efforts of philosophical hermeneutics on the one hand and historicism on the other. Differences between historicism and hermeneutics can be outlined in relation to the role that memory plays in the process of understanding in Gadamer and Ricoeur. What does Death mean in terms of understanding for history, and what for hermeneutics? How can we understand temporal distance? Is it possible and necessary to overcome it? What is the role of recollection and how does it participate in understanding? – these are some of the main issues that will be addressed in the text. Finally, the task of the text is to offer the meaning and significance of the hermeneutics of recollection in relation to the mentioned questions, through the interaction of the thoughts of the two authors.

Giordano Bruno i ars memoriae: između znanosti i magije

AB  - Giordano Bruno u filozofijskoj tradiciji nije interpretiran jednoznačno. Analiza tih interpretacija pokazuje da je Bruno tumačen kao začetnik nove znanosti ili pak kao mistik, mag,
poklonik hermetičke tradicije. Sukladno tim dvama pogledima, Brunova ars memoriae bit
će tumačena kao obična tehnika pamćenja u službi empirijske znanosti ili pak kao okultna magijska vještina. Cilj je ovoga rada otvoriti puteve koji nadilaze spomenutu striktnu
podjelu i kojima se može pristupiti Brunu i poimanju njegove metode. Tijekom razdoblja
renesanse, koja predstavlja izniman spoj tradicije i onoga novog, magija i znanost ne isključuju se međusobno; u potrazi za znanjem, svaka metoda nalazi svoje prikladno mjesto.
Ars memoriae je univerzalna metoda koja dopušta da se znanje sagleda u svojoj mnogostrukosti. U radu ćemo predstaviti neke od ključnih elemenata Brunove filozofije, ispitujući
razna tumačenja i perspektive pokazati zašto je Bruno bio razumijevan na način na koji
jest i zašto je neophodno pristupati ars memoriae s nastojanjem objedinjavanja znanstvenih
i magijskih elemenata. Mnoštvo je mjesta kod Bruna na kojima znanstveno i magijsko ne
samo da su međusobno suprotstavljeni nego, nadograđujući se uzajamno, predstavljaju
nerazdvojnu cjelinu unutar koje im je upravo znanje ono zajedničko. Stoga, zadatak nije
detaljno analizirati samu ars memoriae, nego ispitati moguće pristupe toj metodi, o čemu
naposljetku i ovisi razumijevanje samog Bruna.
AB  - The relationship of tradition towards Bruno is twofold, and the analysis of this relationship will
show that Bruno is interpreted either as a pioneer of new science or as a mystic, mage, and
follower of hermetic tradition. Following these two viewpoints, Bruno’s ars memoriae will be
interpreted either as a mere memory technique in the service of empirical science or as an occult, magical art. This paper aims to open up and analyse the ways by which we can approach
and understand Bruno and his method, that goes beyond the mentioned strict division. In the
period of Renaissance, which represents an incredible combination of tradition and the new,
magic and science do not exclude one another; in search for knowledge, each method finds its
proper place. Ars memoriae is precisely that: a universal method that allows knowledge to be
understood in its multiplicity. In this paper, we will present some of the key elements of Bruno’s
philosophy, by exploring different interpretations and perspectives, and show why Bruno was
understood and interpreted in the way in which he was and why is it necessary to access the
ars memoriae by striving to unite scientific and magical elements. In Bruno’s thought there are
many places where scientific and magical are not only not opposed to each other, but are complementary, and represent an inseparable whole within which knowledge is commonplace both
to former and latter. The task, therefore, is not to analyze ars memoriae in detail, but to examine
possible approaches to that method. Understanding of Bruno depends upon understanding his
method of ars memoriae.
