THE FACE OF SPECTACLE

/in /by

This theoretical study takes its starting point in the blemished photography The Face by Damjan Kocjan, Slovene author (b.1970), contrasting it with the Duchamp’s Replacing Portrait. Through its interdisciplinary approach, the study has tried to illuminate the continuity which the artist’s idea achieves through the fluidity in time, as well as the different impacts caused both by the recipients’ identity and the cultural patterns it itself was grounded upon.

The disguising strategy, as the two authors’ crossing point, deals with the issues of the original art work, i.e. photography, the gender variability, and finally, with the role of the disguised subject in the public space. The whiteness caused by the destructive, iconclassic features on Koncjančić’s portrait, has anticipated the co-authoring issues, the matters of space in the context of heteropathy and the modern society tendency to postpone its own temporality both by technical intervention of the face and the spectacularly acts. With its possibility to reproduce individuals, people and the history, the photography, through its phantasmagoric disguise and the identity of others, opens up a space for a non-responsible game. In that process, the public face of the spectacle as an advertising means, converts its own merit into the economic, cultural and social equity, fashioning the people for prestigious society classes, granting them the power of superior and dominant faces.

The technical view of the new world order, as Virilio puts it, is only but a media glimpse shaping our identities, making ourselves the photographies of our own destiny in which we are objectified by technology and its destructivness as the final point of conformity existence, when in the name of culture, the predominance over origin, in a brutal and merciless way, is taken over by the technology.

PERCEPTION AND PERCEPTABILITY – ISSUES OF GAZE AND EMASCULATION IN HIGH FIDELITY

/in /by

У раду се разматрају механизми погледа у роману и у филму “High Fidelity”. То подразумева идентификацију лика с позицијом посматрач/субјект, што је типично мушка позиција, или призор/објект, што је типично женска позиција. Овако дефинисане родне категорије нису универзалне или природне категорије, већ друштвено одређене категорије повезане с одређеним особинама (мушки – доминантан, агресиван; женски – пасиван, повучен). У чланку се анализирају и импликације такве идентификације, могуће последице немогућности да се заузме жељени положај, те могући начини компензације.

IUGO ERGO SUM: RECONCEPTUALIZATION OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL CONTINUUM

/in , /by

Personal computers, mobile phones, iPod, iPhone, e-book, the Internet, Skype, online shopping and learning – these are just some of the unavoidable elements of modern life. However, the breakthroughs in technology that have changed the world have somehow left the educational system unchanged, creating a huge gap between learning and teaching in schools and ways of acquiring knowledge in everyday life. Regardless of the global technology and information infrastructure, information society will not be transformed into a knowledge society until each individual is qualified to select, organize, transfer and use information in a creative and socially responsible manner. Ideas of Alain Badiou and Jacques Rancière are analyzed in the context of philosophy of education.

TRANSFORMATION OF ORALITY AND LITERACY IN INFORMATION CULTURE

/in /by

The main problem in the proposed work is determined by the detection of major changes in the relationship between orality and literacy in the modern information society and the enormous influence of the transformation these changes brought about in the globalizing social movements. Relation orality/literacy is treated as a current and lively question of today’s world, modern science and modern thought. By orality and literacy in a broader sense we understand such complex phenomena literary and linguistic, and cultural, especially in modern times when language, communication and information obtained decisive importance in social dynamics. It is important not to establish a sharp boundary between oral and written texts, for they differ only in their degree of oral / literariness aspects. Approach to this issue is in the interdisciplinary emphasis. In fact, this topic once a subject of study primarily of literature, linguistics and folklore is becoming now a major area of interest of anthropology, culturology, philosophy, sociology, media theory, psychology, economics and political science. The opposition of oral and written interferes with a number of other conceptual oppositions: anonymous/collective – individual, traditional – modern, rural – urban, mass – elite, popular/folk – scholarly, popular – artistic/artificial; sound – visually. The topic you are considering, or the relation of orality and literacy as part of a problem is the relationship of unfixed and fixed forms of human creative activity. Of course, orality is not only related to the unfixed and fixed forms of literacy. It is the very relationship of language change. For example, in electronic communication intertext works are a new form of orality. The boundaries between orality and literacy are increasingly deleted. New computer literacy re-introduced a richer, nonlinear forms of communication. Computer novel allows the reader to participate in its formation (in which consciousness is perceived oral). Literature has also returned to the ancient storytelling and oral tradition. The oral literature is by some of its features a hypertext.
