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.

THE PASTS THEY HAD LOST – SERBIAN SENSE OF HISTORY AND THE SHIFTING OF TIME IN THE KARLOVCI ARCHBISHOPRIC
/in Visual Art as a Mass Communication Medium /by Kcs21blAAThe issue of Serbian heritage in the case of the Archbishopric of Karlovci is inseparable from that of the collective self-identity of this 18th century ethnia in the Habsburg Empire. The creation and construction of the Serbian view of its past and culture was not unique, but belonged to the greater mechanisms of collective self-awareness current in the European states at the time. The Baroque man was the first individual who fully explored the power and influence of the past on the present events; also the first to search for the borderline which separates the past from history, the individual or collective experience from the record for posterity. Henceforth, the Baroque man realized the full potential of the rewriting and editing of the past, of the fabrication of history and its integration in the greater narrative of validity and legitimation. And employed for the glory of faith, the Church, and the absolutism. But what is the past? And how does it differ from history? What is memory in relation to the past? Even today this presents a highly contested field among historians and historiographers, far more complex than it was seen in the Baroque age. It could be said, that awareness of the past is common to all individuals, and that it shares both the mechanisms and its subject matter with the concepts of history and memory. But the past is only at the beginning of the creation of history, since through history we validate and clothe it in the mantle of recognition, necessary for its acceptance – we institutionalize memory.
