In this article we will examine the possibilities of strengthening local communities through art. Art is seen as a powerful force able to bring visions to local community members and to initiate ...their involvement in social reconstruction. We will analyse the perspectives of development of local urban places into local cultural spaces. For such development, cooperation between artists and urban residents is recognised as highly important. Different art projects can inspire local community members to build stronger connections and help them to define visions of better society. Cooperation in artistic work can gather community members and inspire them to involve in political decision-making process. It also can improve their ability to state program of society development in a more democratic, more inclusive manner.
Role of art and alternative education, we consider as crucial in initiating social actions that are able to truly reconstruct local communities, to redefine a status and to change perception of marginalised social places and to inspire those who live in the same neighbourhood to cooperate and fight for common interest. For this reason, we will analyse perspectives of development approaches in which art and alternative education can come together to create changes.
Creation of new cultural space needs development of alternative education, that can encourage community members to overcome old prejudices, and it also needs inclusive arts practices, that can help people to connect each others and to find their vision of betterness. Through art and alternative education they may doscover their power to recreate reality and to change the situation that oppresses them. Instead to “integrate” or “incorporate” into the society that multiply injustice, alienation, and separation, they may perceive that they are members of a community, so they are able to engage themselves to participate in its recreation. If we make efforts to reimagine our cultural space, we may discover our potentials to visualise authentic development and our strength to challenge old ideological prejudices.
Taking the philosophy of media as a starting point, this text examines the possibilities, forms and status of critique in our times which are dominated, at least in the West, by what is known as ...media culture. On the one hand, the text avoids reducing systemic and strategic critique of capitalism to merely a critical point of view, while on the other it problematizes and examines the critique of modern media practices. The authors implicitly conclude that merely asking these questions paves the road to comprehensive critical action, within the existing systems of this media universe, as well as beyond it, i.e. in the particular socio-economic system of thought and action. This text also examines the possibility of achieving critical practices through art, and in the context of emerging new technologies. Possibilities for critique within the framework of new media art are explored in particular, as this might revolutionize not only media practices, but also the social, historical and economical practices of capitalism as such.
U članku se, sa stanovišta filozofije medija, otvara pitanje o potencijalima, načinima i položaju kritike u našem dobu koje karakteriše, bar kada je reč o zapadnim kulturnim krugovima, dominacija tzv. medijske kulture. S jedne strane, izbegava se redukcija sistemske i strateške kritike sveta kapitala na puko kritičko mišljenje, dok se, s druge strane, problemski preispituje kritika delujuća unutar savremenih medijskih praksi. Autori implicitno zaključuju da je već samo otvaranje ovakvih pitanja utiranje puta za sveobuhvatno kritičko delovanje, kako unutar zatečenih sistema medijskog univerzuma, tako i izvan njega, odnosno u konkretnom društveno-ekonomskom sistemu mišljenja i delovanja. Takođe, u tekstu se razmatra mogućnost kritičkih praksi posredstvom umetnosti, odnosno unutar konteksta dejstva novih tehnologija. U tom smislu, posebno se istražuju potencijali za kritiku u okvirima novomedijske umetnosti, što bi trebalo da predstavlja uvod u revolucionisanje ne samo medijske, već i društveno-povesno-ekonomske prakse u eri kapitalizma.
The authors provide an overview and the analysis of the situation of agricultural holdings in the Republic of Serbia and Romania, with special emphasis on the importance and role of small and family ...farms in creating economic and social sustainability. The paper analyses three thematic research areas - the roll and definition of small farms in the Republic of Serbia and Romania with their basic features the policy on agricultural, national and from foreign funds incentive measures, as well as statistical presentation of the state of agricultural holdings. The purpose of this study is to recognize how small and family farms are significant for the national economy and to compare the situation in the Republic of Serbia and Romania. Published papers and statistical data were used for the statistical review and comparative analysis of their advantages, potentials, and limitations of agricultural holdings in the Republic of Serbia and Romania.

Journal Article
Recenzirano
Starting from Austin’s theory of speech acts and the difference that is established at the meta-linguistic level between two types of utterance: performative and constative, the authors, from the ...point of view of media philosophy, claim that in the digital universe, where linguistic and every other expression is transposed by the media, every interaction, being a media creation and therefore without foundations in reality, is performative. Recognizing digitization, i.e. the actions and procedures that confirm it through interaction, as economically based and therefore the entire digital space as bound to the ruling capitalist socio-economic paradigm, the authors questioning whether is enough to claim that the performativity of digital devices and algorithmic structure represent, without distinction, a necessary and sufficient condition for overall digital performativity? That is, if all interactions in the digital world were reduced exclusively to logical operations, there would be no “symbolic surplus” that makes language to be a language and art to be an art, regardless of their material basis. The authors conclude that digital culture establishes a new dystopian line of cultural development, which (in the considered case) finds its manifestation in digital performances. Mentioned form has its origin in a particular software culture as an anti-cultural deviation of digital culture. Digital performances, viewed from that point, are understood as non-performances, or entities that exist only in their connection to performances, which, again, can never become.
Polazeći od Austinove teorije govornih akata i razlike koja se na metajezičkom nivou uspostavlja između dve vrste iskaza: performativa i konstativa, autori sa stanovišta filozofije medija iznose stav da je u digitalnom univerzumu, gdje se jezički i svaki drugi izraz medijski transponira, svaka interakcija, ustvari, performativna, pošto i doslovno, kao medijska tvorevina ne može imati podmet u stvarnosti. Krenuvši sa stanovišta da je osnova digitaliziranja, odnosno radnji i postupaka koje ga interakcijom potvrđuju, isključivo ekonomske prirode, pa je, stoga, dakle, cjelokupni digitalni prostor vezan za vladajuću kapitalističku društveno-ekonomsku paradigmu, autori postavljaju pitanje je li u tom smislu dovoljno tvrditi da performativnost digitalnih uređaja i algoritamsko organiziranje predstavljaju nužan i dovoljan uvjet za sveukupnu digitalnu performativnost, bez razlike? Odnosno, ukoliko bi se sve interakcije u digitalnom svijetu svele isključvio na logičke identitetske operacije, ne bi postojao „simbolički višak“ koji jezik čini jezikom, a umjetnost umjetnošću, neovisno od njihove materijalne osnove. U tekstu se zaključuje da digitalna kultura uspostavlja jednu novu distopijsku liniju kulturalnog razvoja koja na planu performativnosti svoju manifestaciju dobija u digitalnim izvođenjima. Riječ je o obliku koji ishodište pronalazi u naročitoj softverskoj kulturi kao antikulturnoj devijaciji digitalne kulture. Digitalna izvođenja, na tom nivou promatrano, u tekstu su shvaćena kao ne-izvođenja ili entiteti koji postoje tek u svojoj povezanosti sa izvođenjima, koja, opet, nikada ne mogu postati.
We investigated the resilience of small-scale family farms because of the contemporary importance of both the farms’ resilience and the role of these farms in five countries of Central and Eastern ...Europe. The authors addressed a research gap concerning cross-sectional research on the resilience of farms by combining determinants from various fields. Thus, the primary goal of this article was to identify microeconomic and political factors and links to markets that affect the resilience of small-scale family farms in Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania and Serbia. Using a database of over 3500 farms, the resilience of the farms was calculated, and then the impact of selected factors on that resilience was determined. The research showed that the production scale was the key determinant of the resilience of farms. To achieve higher benefits, increasing the production should be combined with strengthening the market integration of agricultural producers. The position of the producer in the food supply chain determined the income situation of the farm (economic stability). This shaped the quality of life of the family members (social stability). Identifying the effects of those dependencies may provide recommendations for the policy of supporting small-scale family farms in the analysed countries.
