BEGINNINGS OF POPULAR CULTURE
/in Decoding Image /by Kcs21blAAУ тексту се бавим почецима европске популарне културе XV и XVI века, с нагласком на штампаном ликовном представљању. Предочени су позитивни аспекти масовног штампаног ширења и конзумирања уметности у најширим слојевима популације, слојевима који нису имали могућност да поседују уникатна и скупа уметничка дела. У тексту се бавим и аспектима пропагандне (зло)употребе популарне графике у политичке сврхе. Осврћем се на поновно откривање популарне културе крајем XVIII века широм Европе, с нагласком на српској популарној графици тог периода. Указујем на то да је моћ масовне културе изразито велика. Путем ње може да се манипулише масом, али она може да буде и средство помоћу којег се разоткривају слабости, лажност и лицемерје официјелне културе и естаблишмента. Масовна култура може и да нагна човека на дубље промишљање сопственог идентитета, личности, себе ван масе.

CRITICAL DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF “SERBIAN PHILOSOPHY”
/in Serbian Philosophic Culture /by Kcs21blAAThe author discusses the critical definition of the concept of “Serbian Philosophy” by Slobodan Žunjić, who, in his basic research of Serbian philosophy based on a new methodological approach, substantially revises results of previous studies of domestic philosophical heritage. Significance of Žunić’s philosophical works, in author’s opinion, does not only lie in a more complete view of the development of Serbian philosophy, but also in the precise philosophical concepts which put a sharp focus on the different stages of development of the Serbian philosophy over a much longer period than so far known. The author especially analyzes Žunić’s concepts of criticism in Philosophy of Serbs, Philosophy in the Republic of Serbia, and suggests arguments why Žunić insists on using the term “Serbian philosophy.”

VIRTUAL IDENTITY AND MEDIA ILLUSION – THE TRUTH OF ILLUSSION, THE ILLUSSION OF TRUTH
/in Philosophy of Media /by Kcs21blAAThis work tries to answer the question whether the existence of virtual identity and cyber reality are only the most developed media sphere or the products made according to man’s need. The man wants to overcome spatial, time and experience frames and to come in touch with the other world (transcendental) using the tailormade, hybrid identity and communicating via computer technology. The world of relevant critical theoretical and philosophical understanding confronts the identity and the work of one human being traditionally understood as a well based category with unstable and changable characteristics of the identity created by the media. The latter mentioned identity presents the idealized version of the creation and its work that do not match each other. Those phenomena are theoretically analysed through virtual communication via interactive and 3D Internet sites (Facebook, Second life), but also following the influence of simulated reality on the process of speculated conscience and the experience that individuals have regarding themselves and the reality.

CONSCIOUSNESS SPECTACULARIZATION AND THE RURAL – SPECTACULAR CULTURAL PATTERN IN MASS MEDIA
/in Cultures of Rhythms and Spectacle /by Kcs21blAAThe paper depicts the process of consciousness spectacularization and the adoption of rural – spectacular cultural pattern via mass communication media in Serbia in the 2000–2005 period. Culturally, consciousness spectacularization via mass communication media, is in line with the process of cultural globalization and, when it comes to TV, is mostly reflected in non-critical overtaking of mass culture contents dominated by the products of global entertainment industry. In the tracks of Debord’s critical and theoretical principles, the paper theoretically considers the idea of media spectacle.
