  • Družbeni histrionizem in karnevalski politični protesti
    Breznik, Maja, 1967-
    The article deals with the carnivalisation of alter-globalist protests, which nowadays represent the most resonant social spectacle. The analysis is based on the concept of "social histrionism". This ... term comprises social practices which, in cases that a certain question can not be resolved by legal or political instruments, turn the conflict over to the field of play and social festival. The protagonists deal with the conflict through play or festival as something "unserious", but the result can actually influence the society itself. A concrete example from the Middle Ages: when arbitration between two knights was impossible, they could settle the dispute in a joust, for it was believed that God would assign the victory (by the "ordal") to the knight standing for the righteous cause. The victory in the joust, therefore, was also a legal arbitration. The "ordal" of today is social histrionism, with which the politically-sensitive issues have simply moved to play, festival andart. The article shows that artivism and carnivalisation of protest meetings make part of current social histrionism, in which social groups compete in issues that society cannot or does not wish to explicitly ask. We have approached the concept of "social histrionism" through a critical readingof Bakhtin's idea of carnival, through the theories of play and contemporary ideologists of alter-globalist movements. Through artivism we have opened the issue of politicisation of art - political action inherent to art and based on the reflection on conditions for cultural production.
