INTERACTIVITY AND MULTIMEDIA: IN SEARCH FOR MEANING AND CONTINUITY
/in Digital Media Technologies, Society and Education /by Kcs21blAAWhen speaking about new digital media technologies and especially about their potentials in education, political participation, arts and mass communications, we often refer to interactivity and multimedia. Proliferation of these terms in contemporary discourse makes their semantic field elusive. Thus, it is the intention of this paper to provide an overview of different meanings of interactivity and multimedia, and, by discussing some definitions, to examine their applicability not only to the new media, but also to other media and their specific forms of communication. At the same time, it is an attempt to identify which dimensions of interactivity and multimedia are essentially new, and which establish the continuity with previous media and communication practices.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE “SOCIETY OF NET”
/in Decoding Image /by Kcs21blAAKao što se za otkriće fotografije smatra da je bilo jedan od prelomnih trenutaka za društvo XIX veka, tako se isto smatra i za otkriće interneta i razvoj digitalne tehnologije na prelazu iz XX u XXI vek. Često gledana kao tehničko pomagalo umetnicima ili naučnicima, u kulturi interneta, mobilnih telefona s fotoaparatima ili “ajpodovima”, fotografija je postala najmasovniji medij podložan konstantnim, gotovo neuhvatljivim transformacijama. Kada je umetnost u pitanju, nikada pre nismo bili suočeni s toliko različitih postupaka i pristupa u tretiranju ovog medija. S pojavom novih tipova kompjutera, skenera, štampača, digitalnih fotoaparata i interneta, s jedne strane olakšane su produkcija, distribucija i prezentacija fotografije, dok su, s druge strane, umetnici, kako internacionalne tako i domaće scene, dobili nova sredstva izražavanja i istraživanja. U ovom eseju pokušala sam da napravim osvrt na fotografiju u “društvu mreže” fokusirajući se na razmatranja Valtera Benjamina. Kada je u pitanju internacionalna umetnička scena, za primer sam uzela, između ostalih, radove Džefa Vola i Nensi Berson. Kao primer za situaciju u Srbiji poslužilo mi je nekoliko događaja pre i posle 2000. godine ( pokretanje prvih “web sajtova” i otvaranje galerija “Artget” i “Remont”).

GRISELDA POLLOCK – A PROJECT OF FEMINIST RE-EVALUATION OF ART HISTORY
/in Themes /by Kcs21blAAThis paper deals with some of the key concepts in the work of Griselda Pollock, one of the most prominent feminist art historians. Since the 1970s, G. Pollock has been one of the most influential scholars of feminist studies in the visual arts. In her texts, she implements the analysis of dominant methodological and theoretical approaches in art history and criticizes ways in which the achievements of women artists have been valuated and recorded i.e. ignored, excluded or underestimated in the institutionally dominant art history. The importance of her works lies in the fact that she has also pointed out the problems of the feminist approach in art history. The concept of feminist interventions in the histories of art, which she has introduced and promoted in her texts and which is seen as a central concept of her work, significantly contributed to the articulation of gender issues in art history. One of the objectives of this paper is to describe these tendencies in a broader context, including also significant changes in the society and the emergence of other interpretative methods in art history during this period, as well as to describe the reception of her theories in Serbia.

REGIONAL CULTURAL COOPERATION IN SOUTHEAST EUROPE
/in Studies /by Kcs21blAAThe progress of renewing different forms of cooperation in the Southeast Europe region, especially as a part of European integrations, has instigated ideas for this project. The project analyses the cultural cooperation among the Southeast Europe countries, and the focus is on analyzing the cultural connections and cooperation among the countries of former Yugoslavia. The target of the project is to analyze the mechanisms of establishing the cooperation in this region, which represents the specific cultural unit within Europe, and to indicate whether the cooperation in this region differs from the cooperation among the other countries out of this region, and to what extent, i.e. to specify the differences of connections established in this region. The notion of Southeast Europe is not used in purely geographical sense in this project: it matches the geographical territory of Southeast Europe, but also refers to the countries that were chosen on the basis of their cultural connections. That way they form cultural relatively defined, distinctive region. Therefore, the specificity of this cooperation was crucial for this choice. Additionally, the project analyses to what extent the existence of mutual cultural identity in this region can be discussed.
