The Detragedization Strategy of Vukovar. From the Processes in Culture to the Media-Political Strategy
PolazeÄi od pitanja: Kako je vukovarska tragedija bila moguÄa u Europi na pragu 21. stoljeÄa?- Älanak propituje duhovnu klimu Zapada koju obilježava odbijanje duha tragedije koju, na hegelovskoj matrici, karakterizira negiranje datosti. Sve filozofije nakon Hegela ostale su zarobljenice njegovu pristupu konaÄnom kao negativnom koje treba nadvladati, Å”to se u jednomu dijelu tih strujanja pokazuje i kao negiranje stvarnosti kao takve, posebice u postmodernistiÄkom interpretativizmu. TehniÄko-znanstvena civilizacija promatra se kao zavrÅ”na faza detragedizacije Zapada.
U drugomu dijelu na interdisciplinarni naÄin povezujemo konkretna povijesna dogaÄanja vezana uz tragediju Vukovara s duhovnom klimom Zapada, jer i jedno i drugo karakterizira negiranje datosti tragiÄnoga u kontekstu utjeÅ”iteljskoga nihilizma. Vukovar se u naÄinu i metodama pokazuje kao paradigmatski primjer bilo detragedizacije, bilo renarativizacije kojom se želi iskriviti dogoÄeno, te postaje model za sve ostale tragedije ratova u bivÅ”oj Jugoslaviji.
U zakljuÄku se poziva na obnovu duha tragedije i afirmaciju stvarnosti kao najbolje prevencije protiv sliÄnih ponavljanja.Starting by asking the question, how the Vukovar tragedy could have happened in Europe at the threshold of 21st century, the article examines the spiritual climate of the West, marked by the rejection of the spirit of tragedy, on the Hegelian matrix characterized by denial of the realities. Complete post-Hegelian philosophy can be observed as a captive of his approach to the final as the negative that has to be overcome, which in one part of these flows shows a denial of reality as such, especially in the postmodern interpretativism. Technical and scientific civilization is seen as the final stage of de-tragedization of the West.
In the second part of the article specific historical events related to Vukovar tragedy are in an interdisciplinary way linked to the spiritual climate of the West, because both are characterized by denial of tragic realities in the context of comforter-like nihilism. Vukovar is in the ways and methods shown as a paradigm of de-tragedization and re-narativising, which were aiming to distort what actually occurred, thus becoming a model for all other war tragedies in the former Yugoslavia.
In conclusion, it calls for a renewal of the spirit of tragedy and for the affirmation of reality, being the best way to prevent similar events to happen again
Image of Faith and Church in Croatian Media
Sliku vjere i Crkve u hrvatskim medijima promatramo kao proizvod pet āstrategijaā koje nisu smiÅ”ljene, veÄ su proiziÅ”le iz duha vremena. Prva strategija, āPapa Franjo da, Crkva neā, polazi od kontekstualiziranja vjere u druÅ”tvo spektakla u kojem se Papina sobnost
pretpostavlja službi, pa potom Papina osobnost i stil postaje sredstvo kojim se ukazuje ne neprihvatljivost Crkve. Druga strategija, āstrategija posramljivanjaā, proizlazeÄi iz prve, služi se sramom kao sredstvom kontrole manjine nad veÄinom, posebno uz pomoÄ treÄe strategije u kojoj se kod medijske slike Crkve naglaÅ”ava ekscesno, a ignorira redovito. Zadnje dvije strategije, medijska transupstancijalizacija vjere te zamjena ikone idolom, sliku Crkve riÅ”u pozitivno, no vode opasnosti kulturoloÅ”kog pelagijanizma zbog kojeg se zamraÄuje Izvor dobra, a veliÄa samo dobro, pri Äemu se Crkva pretvara u jednu humanitarnu organizaciju meÄu mnogima.We see the image of faith and Church in Croatian media as a product of five āstrategiesā that are not designed, but emerged from the spirit of the times. The first strategy, āPope Francis yes, the Church noā, starts from contextualizing the faith into a society of spectacle in which the Popeās personality is put before his service, and thus the Popeās personality and style become the means for showing that the Church is unacceptable. The second strategy, the āstrategy of putting to shameā, stems from the first and uses shame as a means of control where the minority controls majority, especially with the help of the third strategy which, in forming the media image of the Church, emphasizes excesses and ignores what is regular. The last two strategies, the trans-substantialization of faith and replacing icon with idol, present the image of the Church positively, but lead to the dangers of cultural Pelagianism due to which the Source of good is dimmed, and only good is praised, where the Church turns into just another humanitarian organization among many
Pareyson, Vattimo and problem of rhetorical truth between ānothing moreā and āa little moreā
Postmoderna racionalnost definira se kao retoriÄka racionalnost na scijentistiÄkoj paradigmi binoma verifikacija/falsifikacija u kontekstu historicizma koji u procesu istinovanja ne priznaje niÅ”ta izvanpovijesno. Pareysonova filozofija ne odbija retoriÄku racionalnost i povijesne uvjetovanosti istinovanja i filozofiranja, ali, polazeÄi od transcendencije beskonaÄnoga kao uvjeta moguÄnosti filozofiranja i āobjavljujuÄe misliā, ne prihvaÄa tu paradigmu. Komparativnom metodom, usporeÄujuÄi Pareysonov i Vattimov, uÄiteljev i uÄenikov, pristup istini, u Älanku se suÄeljavaju argumenti jednoga i drugoga. Dok je za Vattima pitanje istine samo retoriÄko pitanje i āniÅ”ta viÅ”eā, Pareyson, polazeÄi od ontologije neiscrpivoga, smatra kako istina jest retoriÄko pitanje, ne odbijajuÄi njezine povijesne uvjetovanosti i manifestacije, no, za razliku od svoga uÄenika, za Pareysona je istina ipak āmalo viÅ”eā od puke retoriÄke agonike i jeziÄnih igara i uvjeravanja, jer joj je izvor izvanpovijesni, u neiscrpivome bitku koji se daje kroz jezik.post-modern rationality is defined as rhetorical rationality in the scientistic paradigm of verification/falsification binomial in the context of historicism which in the process of determining the truth does not recognize anything beyond-historical. pareysonās philosophy does not reject rhetorical rationality and historical conditioning of determining the truth and philosophizing, but, starting from the transcendence of infinite as a condition of possibility of philosophizing and of ārevelatory thoughtā, does not accept that paradigm. in the article, by comparative method, comparing pareysonās and vattimoās, teacherās and studentās, approach to the truth, the arguments of both of them are confronted. While for vattimo the issue of truth is just a rhetorical question and ānothing moreā, pareyson, starting from the ontology of the inexhaustible, thinks that truth is a rhetorical issue, and, not rejecting its historical conditioning and manifestations, unlike his student, pareyson holds the truth is āa little moreā than mere rhetorical contest and language game and persuasion, because its source is beyond-historical, in inexhaustible being, given through the language
The Phenomenon of Globalisation: Globalisation and an Individual
PromatrajuÄi odnos Äovjeka i globalizacije kroz povijesnu epohu, možemo se složiti da je Äovjek tvorac slika, svjestan da nije samo puka datost i dovrÅ”ena stvarnost, nego ima potrebu za djelovanjem, koje se oÄituje stvaranjem slika u kojima želi pronaÄi svoj vlastiti identitet. U vrijeme krÅ”Äanske epohe slika se ne stvara nego otkriva te je naglasak stavljen na Ā«biti na slikuĀ». Vrijeme moderne stvara, meÄutim, kulturu separacije. Äovjek postaje "slika", on sebe stvara kroz djelovanje te se raÄa ideja o autonomnom subjektu. Ljudska narav se postavlja kao neÅ”to univerzalno, obrazac ponaÅ”anja, kojemu svaki Äovjek treba težiti. Istovremeno se stvaraju institucije koja zakonima korigiraju Äovjekovu autonomiju i slobodu. Institucija, naime, pretpostavlja piramidalnu strukturu kojoj na vrhu stoji vladar, kako bi se zakoni doista poÅ”tivali. Stanje - u kojem manjina kontrolira veÄinu putem zakona, prijetnji i sankcija -nazivamo panopticon. Suprotno panopticonu, synopticonom nazivamo stanje kada je manjina gledana od veÄine. Ona (manjina) ne kontrolira silom, veÄ se nameÄe kao idealna slika najÄeÅ”Äe putem mass-medija. Putem propagande, ona postaje idealom prema kojem se ravnaju Å”iroke mase. Synopticon je tako jedan od fundamentalnih pokretaÄa globalizacije. Äovjek pak u novom poretku globalizacije iz homo sapiensa, kojem je izvor identiteta u miÅ”ljenju i stvaranju "na sliku" ili "slike", prelazi u homo vidensa, gdje je on promatraÄ trendova. Homo videns nema svog identiteta, on teži za nekim imageom, ali ni tada nije siguran, nema svoje juÄer, danas, sutra. S obzirom na danaÅ”nju problematiku, Crkva je ta koja bi trebala "dati se vidjeti" kako bi odsijevalo pravo lice Kristovo u ovom naÅ”em svijetu globalizacije.If we look at the relationship between an individual person and globalisation throughout history, we can all agree that each individual is a creator of images, aware of the fact that he/she is not only mere factuality and completed reality. There is still need to create, which is reflected in the creation of images in which he/she wants to find his/her own identity. In Christian era that image is not newly created,
but discovered, and the emphasis is on āto be like the imageā. Modern times, however, have formed the culture of separation. An individual so becomes āan imageā, creating him/herself through acting, so there begins a notion of an autonomous subject. Human nature is presented as something universal, a type of behaviour everyone should crave for. At the same time institutions are established with a sole purpose of limiting every individualās autonomy and freedom. Laws are respected because institutions are structured as a pyramid, with a ruler on the highest step. The condition where minority controls the majority through laws, pressure and sanctions ā is called the Panopticon. Opposite to the Panopticon there is the Synopticon ā the condition where minority is seen from the point of view of majority. Here minority does not control by means of force, it imposes itself as an ideal image mostly through mass-media, which use promotion to make this image an ideal for the broad public. The Synopticon so becomes one of the basic motivating factors of globalisation. In this new order of globalisation homo sapiens ā a rational creature whose identity is based on thinking and creating according to āthe imageā, or āthe imagesā, is turned into a person who is a mere observer of different trends. This new homo has no identity , he/she yearns for some images, yet not feeling safe, left without his/her own past, present or future. Having this issue in mind, the Church is the one to āallow itself to be seenā, so that Christās real image leaves its reflection in this world of globalisation
VeÄernji and Jutarnji list. Analysis of Media Coverage of the Initiative āOn Behalf of the Familyā: Why did David Beat Goliath?
Na temelju analize sadržaja dvaju najveÄih hrvatskih dnevnih listova autori propituju razliku izmeÄu informiranja i propagande u kontekstu referendumske inicijative āU ime obiteljiā kojom je u Ustav Republike Hrvatske unesena definicija braka kao zajednica muÅ”karca i žene. U sukusu istraživanja stoji pitanje: Kako to da je inicijativa uspjela unatoÄ Äinjenici Å”to je golema veÄina medija, kao i vladajuÄa garnitura, bila protiv, odnosno kako da takva medijska kampanja nije uspjela, unatoÄ ne samo proponentskoj, veÄ i financijskoj potpori vlasti? U medijskom smislu radilo se o borbi Davida (ZA) i Golijata (PROTIV). Na tragu mediologa Regisa Debraya koji razlikuje komunikaciju, kao prenoÅ”enje informacija u prostoru na sinkronijski naÄin, te transmisiju (prijenos), kao prenoÅ”enje informacija u vremenu na dijakronijski naÄin, autori ukazuju na granice medijskih kampanja i propagande (komunikacija) kada se suoÄe s āinstitucijama pamÄenjaā kao Å”to su obitelj, Crkve te tradicija nekog kolektiviteta opÄenito (prijenos). Na tragu Erazma Roterdamskog (āteže je oduÄiti nego nauÄitiā) autori dolaze do zakljuÄka da su mediji (sinkronijski princip koji tvori druÅ”tvo) nemoÄni bez zahvata u institucije pamÄenja (prijenos, dijakronijski princip koji tvori kulturu, tradiciju), Å”to se u mnogim državama Zapada, pa i u Hrvatskoj, (neo)jakobinskim principom preodgoja kroz sustav graÄanskog i zdravstvenog odgoja Äini ili pokuÅ”ava uÄiniti.Analyzing the contents of the two largest Croatian dailies the authors investigate the difference between information and propaganda in the context of the referendum initiative āOn Behalf of the Familyā by which the definition of marriage as a union of man and woman has been entered into the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia. The essential question of the research is: How is it that the initiative was successful despite the fact that the vast majority of the media, as well as the establishment in power, was against, i.e. how is it that such a media campaign failed in spite of, not only propounding support, but also financial support of the authorities? In terms of the media it was a battle of David (FOR) and Goliath (AGAINST). Along the line of a mediologist Regis Debray who distinguishes communication as a transfer of information in space in synchronic manner and transmission (transport) as a transfer of information in time in diachronic manner, the authors point to the boundaries of media campaigns and propaganda (communication) when faced with the āinstitutions of memoryā such as family, church, or tradition of a collectivity in general (transport). Along the lines of Erasmus of Rotterdam (āit is harder to unlearn than to learnā), the authors conclude that the media (synchronic principle which constitutes society) are powerless without the intervention in the institutions of memory (transmission, diachronic principle which constitutes culture, tradition), which is being done or attempted to be done in many Western countries, and in Croatia as well, by neo-Jacobin principle of re-education through the system of civic and health education
MEDIJI I CRKVA. (NE)RAZUMIJEVANJA I PERSPEKTIVE TIJEKOM POVIJESTI I DANAS. STAJALIÅ TA HRVATSKIH AUTORA
Cilj je ovim radom istražiti i usustaviti stajaliÅ”ta hrvatskih autora o problematici odnosa medija, krÅ”Äanstva i Crkve dijakronijskim i sinkronijskim pristupom. Tako u radu donosimo stajaliÅ”ta autora o krÅ”Äanstvu i novinarstvu tijekom povijest, potom razlažemo suvremeno prikazivanje krÅ”Äanstva u javnosti s obzirom na novinarsku etiku. Na koncu donosimo, prema autorima, nove izazove prikazivanja krÅ”Äanstva i Crkve u novinarstvu te, umjesto zakljuÄka progovaramo o perspektivama povratka Crkve i novinarstva izvornim vrijednostima. Odabir autora napravljen je metodom pretrage kljuÄnih rijeÄi, uzimajuÄi u obzir i životopise autora kao kriterij relevantnosti
