Filozofska fakulteta Univerze v Ljubljani in Komisija za slovenski jezik v javnosti pri Slovenski akademiji znanosti in umetnosti sta v torek, 23. oktobra 2018, organizirali okroglo mizo »Jezik in ...spol«, ki je potekala na Filozofski fakulteti v Ljubljani. Izhodišče razprave je bil sklep Senata Filozofske fakultete o izmenični rabi moške in ženske slovnične oblike za vse spole v pravilnikih Filozofske fakultete, s sogovornicami in sogovorniki pa sta organizatorja želela razpravo razširiti na vprašanja, kakšne možnosti ponuja slovenski jezik za uporabo spolno občutljivega jezika in kako v slovenskem jeziku zagotavljati vključujoč jezik v različnih družbenih situacijah. Objavljamo zapis je po posnetku dogodka, ki je na voljo na YouTubu.

In his famous essay, ‘Tradition & the Individual Talent,’ T.S.Eliot wrote that any art of consequence changes its entire past and creates its own precursors; that it produces, in short, a retroactive constitution of necessity for the present state of affairs. Today, however, the internationalist project and the major centres of European cosmopolitanism that were the principal catalysts of this ‘necessity,’ are no longer what they were. The much vaunted conditions of the avant-garde during the period of political transformation in the first half of the twentieth century in Europe have solidified into a seemingly paradoxical tension between neo-nationalism and global capital, and the idea of the avant-garde has become little more than a rhetorical gesture in the aftermath of liberal humanism, existing today merely as a simulacrum of itself.
