An elite group of no more than 10-20 collectors have begun over the past 3-4 years to visit art fairs abroad, acquire works by international artists and attempt to position their collection beyond national borders.
Especially in recent years, as the real estate and the stock exchange boom had stopped, many turned to contemporary art for short-term or long-term investment. Quite a few of these buyers prefer direct contact to artists, making bulk purchases at heavy discounts in the studio. Aware of the risks of siding with contemporary art, they diversify their selections, and acquire groups of works that are difficult to bring on common denominator within a harmonious collection, yet guarantee a balanced future. [..] Strictly speaking these acquisitions make up no collections (if the latter is understood as a coherent entity), yet may become one by slimming down.
Lawyers and brokers, media figures and top managers seem to share a strong penchant for getting to know the person whose works they collect and for establishing a contact they often deem “friendly”. In my experience the artists share this “friendship” less enthusiastically, yet play the role happily for obvious reasons. [..] [Collectors] build up a network of artist acquaintances parallel to their private and business relations, and often spend increasing amounts of time in this new niche of their life. Collecting in this role is a medicine for the thirst of new human relations, often (seemingly) less rational than the world of business, and less conventional than the family circle. Without stretching the point, one may say that quite a few actors of the scene collect friends rather than art.
In the Western world normally unthinkable due to excessive prices, several Hungarian collectors have been able over the past two decades to amass Hungarian works spanning the whole of the 20th century.
In terms of media, painting predominates. Other traditional forms (graphics, sculpture) are much less popular, but their position is improving. Photography, new media, installation, object art, other ephemeral, site-specific, and mixed media works are still lagging behind, but likewise spreading. In recent years, the elite layer of collectors has definitely realised the importance of diversifying the media they collect.
The influence of galleries on collectors is also on the rise. In the first phase following the fall of the Wall, collectors were – for reasons lying at hand – very individualistic, often secretive in their approach, as well as financially stronger and faster than the young galleries. Most collectors were unwilling to pay a “gallery price”, and we can still find artists and buyers negotiating in a double prices system (where atelier prices grossly undercut the gallery price level), yet this is now receding.
Some collections tell immediately, at first look the decisive impact of the gallery standing behind them, while in other cases the collector retains the right of selection stronger, yet accepts the dictate of the market: purchases have to be carried out increasingly by way of a gallery. This motivates more and more artists to ally with galleries, which, in turn, forces a growing circle of collectors to frequent the galleries and art dealers. The system of collecting becomes more and more institutional in Hungary.
The sales made at the fair could just as well take place in the galleries at some other time; the fair exerts no clearly identifiable impact on collecting. International fairs, in contrast, have a rapidly growing effect on the Hungarian scene.
A surprisingly large number of new galleries (launched since 2000) have been quite successful in building up their clientele, and luring away buyers from senior galleries. Non-profit galleries have an increasingly important say in the game. As collectors become experienced, they realise that curators working at these institutions, and artists exhibiting there, often have prophetic power. What appears as a peripheral new phenomenon in the arts scene, perhaps in one of the non-profit “gate-keeper galleries”, may within a year or two have ascended to higher status.
Among the museums, the Ludwig Museum in Budapest takes a central position, yet its co-operation with collectors is brand new and still fairly weak, rather symbolic. Both the previous (founding) and the current director can be judged as mistrustful of private engagement in art, although in the past year or two there have been gestures of familiarising between the museum administration and private collectors. [..] Neither the Hungarian National Gallery nor the Municipal Gallery (the two other important public collections of modern and contemporary art in the capital) can boast closer ties with collectors. To put it bluntly, most collectors do not even know that both of these museums have a permanent exhibition of post-World War II art, and that their collections include some seminal works. In return, most curators and chief administrators working at these (and other) museums in Hungary are prone to similar ignorance.
Art magazines seldom provide food for thought to private collectors.
Although many [collectors] increasingly fear the “three evils” of publicity – the tax office, burglary and public envy – there is still regular coverage of art collecting by a few specialised art writers.
With a few exceptions (such as the Kassák Museum), larger public institutions rarely show private collections. For the Ludwig Museum, showing a private collection is entirely out of question. True, the international scope of this museum’s own collection has no peer among the private holdings in the country (with the sole exception of the Somlói–Spengler Collection, which attempts to catch up with international trends of collecting).
Over one hundred private collections of contemporary art in Hungary.
Collectors increasingly get to know each other. Recently a communication agency has set up a platform for their regular meetings, as well as a webs-site for interaction, while a few collectors go further and jointly fund art prizes, visits abroad and, vice versa, invitations of international art experts to Hungary.
Among the company collections, that of Raiffeisen Bank is the most solid, while among he company-funded prizes Strabag Award dominated the scene for over a decade, with the brand new Aviva Prize now poised for taking it over. In most corporate projects, however, the domination of the marketing aims can not be overlooked.
As elsewhere in the world, artists themselves are avid collectors in Hungary. Some of these collections (e.g. that of László Fehér, Tamás Konok, István Haraszty, Ákos Matzon) have become known through numerous exhibitions, yet there are dozens more. Most artists build their holdings by way of exchange, and this opens the way to international works, too, that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. A few artists (for instance Imre Bak) became known for that as early as in the 1970s, with museums borrowing foreign works from them; and it still holds that artist collectors are at the forefront of international collecting in the country.
Spurred by Dóra Maurer, the Open Structures Art Society (whose members range from István Nádler to Katalin Hetey) regularly stages exhibitions both in Hungary and abroad, based on their joint collection and documentation archive, which is an outstanding testimony of geometric creation in Hungary and the world over the past decades.
The Mobile MADI Museum is the collection of a group of artists.
The private holdings of Lóránd Hegyi or the late Éva Körner and Ottó Mezei are examples of collections put together by art historians, and the list goes on.
Those Hungarian artists who do have some recognition abroad (typically neo-conceptual mid-career figures, such as Róza El-Hassan, Attila Csörgő, or the Kis Varsó duo) are under-represented in Hungarian collections. In contrast, the most sought-after local artists (e.g. Imre Bukta, László feLugossy) have limited reference abroad.
!! Among the collectors, only those have a chance of making a name abroad who mix Hungarian positions with international art. Some of these people live abroad (e.g. Gábor Hunya in Vienna, András Szöllősi-Nagy in Paris), while recently a few businessmen based in Hungary have also begun buying internationally (e.g. László Gerő, Ferenc Karvalits, Béla Horváth). The taste of this narrow elite is similar to the choices of new collectors elsewhere in Eastern Europe: they try to lift their respective local artists onto a higher echelon of international recognition by buying blue-chip foreign artists from respected galleries.

13:28 < barak> Soft power is the ability to obtain what one wants through co-option and attraction.
13:29 < barak> idea of attraction as a form of power dates back to ancient Chinese philosophers such as Laozi
in the 7th century BC. “Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock,
which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome
whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.”

The success of soft power heavily depends on the actor’s reputation within the international community, as well as the flow of information between actors.
Thus, soft power is often associated with the rise of globalization and neoliberal international relations theory.
Popular culture and media is regularly identified as a source of soft power, as is the spread of a national language,
or a particular set of normative structures;
a nation with a large amount of soft power and the good will that engenders it inspire others to acculturate,
avoiding the need for expensive hard power expenditures.
/
The Soviet Union had a great deal of soft power in the years after World War II, but they destroyed it by the way they used their
hard power against Hungary and Czechoslovakia, just as American military actions in the Middle East undercut their Soft Power.

he recalls Duchamp’s artist-friend (and, before he went to the front, fellow expatri-

Dreier’s deeply repressed sexual fantasizing and frustration in relation to Duchamp.

Duchamp was highly seductive to the women of the New York Dada circle and frustratingly un-

While she gave him money to support him, this older German woman was clearly not Duchamp’s type.

Their personal correspondence shows a frustrated sexuality turned maternalism on Dreier’s

part, a polite and gentle distance maintained on Duchamp’s.

Duchamp liked to proclaim that he

considered himself an engineer rather than an artist.46 The gesture of the readymades

highlighted his confusion of the boundaries between engineering (the making of

machines) and art, but this gesture is also tinged with what we might call a machine-

age primitivism.

Léger in the 1950s told the story of going, before World War I, to an airplane exhibi-

an end. Who can do anything better than this propeller? Can you?’ ”

his readymade gesture thus explicitly reverses the dynamic at play in the

Ford system: while the assembly line functions specifically to take the individual prod-

uct away from the individual worker (in what Marx noted to be an alienation of the

laborer from his products), Duchamp’s gesture is to return individuality to the massproduced object

/ 8 ben IV sc & 4 men V ar 59

Last month we had a strong debate on Nettime about the nature and
meaning of the Arab Spring. The nature of it is up to the participants
to say, but in my view the fall of authoritarian regimes in North Africa
represents at least a partial collapse of one of the pillars on which
the transnational state-form of the present was founded, way back in the
late seventies-early eighties when Trilaterlaism (or “Triad Power”)
first got off the ground, on the backs of workers in the Arab world, in
Latin America, and then increasingly in China. Now the rise of the BRIC
countries and the development of the Gulf has entirely overtaken that
old hegemony.

In this paper by Nouriel Roubini and his wunderkind sidekick Ian
Bremmer, the ineffectiveness of the present G-20 becomes the signal of
chaos in the world system. Far from an abstract fancy hatched among the
students of Immanuel Wallerstein, world hegemony is a da‎ily concern of
the corporate classes because of its provision of so-called “global
public goods” (mostly security, a sordid boon). Roubini and Bremmer
don’t see anyone delivering the goods in the near future.

I’m sending the article because it nails the central point on which my
analysis of the Arab Spring is based: the collapse of the Trilateral
system that was perfectly represented by the members of the G-7.
However, the paper was written before the events in Egypt and anyway,
it’s not certain these guys can look beyond the sagging values of
economic growth. What I see in the future is a wide-open world where
everyone can make a difference amidst the most unexpected circumstances.
For the moment at least this is an incredibly light period, a time for
escaping gravity. It’s a time for invention. Learn some new moves in a
zero-G world.

“A G-Zero World”

The New Economic Club Will Produce Conflict, Not Cooperation

Ian Bremmer and Nouriel Roubini

This is not a G-20 world. Over the past several months, the expanded
group of leading economies has gone from a would-be concert of nations
to a cacophony of competing voices as the urgency of the financial
crisis has waned and the diversity of political and economic values
within the group has asserted itself. Nor is there a viable G-2 — a
U.S.-Chinese solution for pressing transnational problems — because
Beijing has no interest in accepting the burdens that come with
international leadership. Nor is there a G-3 alternative, a grouping of
the United States, Europe, and Japan that might ride to the rescue.

Today, the United States lacks the resources to continue as the primary
provider of global public goods. Europe is fully occupied for the moment
with saving the eurozone. Japan is likewise tied down with complex
political and economic problems at home. None of these powers’
governments has the time, resources, or domestic political capital
needed for a new bout of international heavy lifting. Meanwhile, there
are no credible answers to transnational challenges without the direct
involvement of emerging powers such as Brazil, China, and India. Yet
these countries are far too focused on domestic development to welcome
the burdens that come with new responsibilities abroad.

We are now living in a G-Zero world, one in which no single country or
bloc of countries has the political and economic leverage — or the will
— to drive a truly international agenda. The result will be intensified
conflict on the international stage over vitally important issues, such
as international macroeconomic coordination, financial regulatory
reform, trade policy, and climate change. This new order has
far-reaching implications for the global economy, as companies around
the world sit on enormous stockpiles of cash, waiting for the current
era of political and economic uncertainty to pass. Many of them can
expect an extended wait.

THE OLD BOYS’ CLUB
Until the mid-1990s, the G-7 was the international bargaining table of
greatest importance. Its members shared a common set of values and a
faith that democracy and market-driven capitalism were the systems most
likely to generate lasting peace and prosperity.

In 1997, the U.S.-dominated G-7 became the U.S.-dominated G-8, as U.S.
and European policymakers pulled Russia into the club. This change did
not reflect a shift in the world’s balance of power. It was simply an
effort to bolster Russia’s fragile democracy and help prevent the
country from sliding back into communism or nationalist militarism. The
transition from the G-7 to the G-8 did not challenge assumptions about
the virtues of representative government or the dangers of extensive
state management of economic growth.

The recent financial crisis and global market meltdown have sent a much
larger shock wave through the international system than anything that
followed the collapse of the Soviet bloc. In September 2008, fears that
the global economy stood on the brink of catastrophe hastened the
inevitable transition to the G-20, an organization that includes the
world’s largest and most important emerging-market states. The first
gatherings of the club — in Washington in November 2008 and London in
April 2009 — produced an agreement on joint monetary and fiscal
expansion,increased funding for the International Monetary Fund (IMF),
and new rules for financial institutions. These successes came mainly
because all the members felt threatened by the same plagues at the same
time.

But as the economic recovery began, the sense of crisis abated in some
countries. It became clear that China and other large developing
economies had suffered less damage and would recover faster than the
world’s wealthiest countries. Chinese and Indian banks had been less
exposed than Western ones to the contagion effects from the meltdown of
U.S. and European banks. Moreover, China’s foreign reserves had
protected its government and banks from the liquidity panic that took
hold in the West. Beijing’s ability to direct state spending toward
infrastructure projects quickly generated new jobs, easing fears that
the decline in U.S. and European consumer demand might trigger
large-scale unemployment and civil unrest in China.

As China and other emerging countries rebounded, the West’s fear and
frustration grew more intense. In the United States, stubbornly high
unemployment and fears of a double-dip recession fueled a rise in
antigovernment activism and shifted power to the Republicans.
Governments fell out of favor in France and Germany — and lost
elections in Japan and the United Kingdom. Fiscal crises provoked
intense public anger from Greece to Ireland and the Baltic states to Spain.

Meanwhile, Brazil, China, India, Turkey, and other developing countries
moved forward as the developed world remained stuck in an anemic
recovery. (Ironically, the only major developing country that has
struggled to recover is the petrostate Russia, the first state welcomed
into the G-7 club.) As the wealthy and the developing states’ needs and
interests began to diverge, the G-20 and other international
institutions lost the sense of urgency they needed to produce
coordinated and coherent multilateral policy responses.

Politicians in Western countries, battered by criticism that they have
failed to produce a robust recovery, have blamed scapegoats overseas.
U.S.-Chinese political tensions have risen significantly over the past
several months. China continues to defy calls from Washington to allow
the value of its currency to rise substantially. Policymakers in Beijing
insist that they must protect their country during a delicate moment in
its development, as lawmakers in Washington become more serious about
taking action against Chinese trade and currency policies that they say
are unfair. In the past three years, there has been a sharp spike in the
number of domestic trade and World Trade Organization cases that China
and the United States have filed against each other. Meanwhile, the G-20
has gone froma modestly effective international institution to an active
arena of conflict.

THE EMPTY DRIVER’S SEAT
There is nothing new about this bickering and inaction. Four decades
after the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, for example, the major powers
still have not agreed on how to build and maintain an effective
nonproliferation regime that can halt the spread of the world’s most
dangerous weapons and technologies. In fact, global defense policy has
always been essentially a zero-sum game, as one country or bloc of
countries works to maximize its defense capabilities in ways that
(deliberately or indirectly) challenge the military preeminence of its
rivals.

International commerce is a different game; trade can benefit all
players. But the divergence of economic interests in the wake of the
financial crisis has undermined global economic cooperation, throwing a
wrench into the gears of globalization. In the past, the global economy
has relied on a hegemon — the United Kingdom in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries and the United States in the twentieth century —
to create the security framework necessary for free markets, free trade,
and capital mobility. But the combination of Washington’s declining
international clout, on the one hand, and sharp policy disagreements, on
the other — both between developed and developing states and between
the United States and Europe — has created a vacuum of international
leadership just at the moment when it is most needed.

For the past 20 years, whatever their differences on security issues,
governments of the world’s major developed and developing states have
had common economic goals. The growth of China and India provided
Western consumers with access to the world’s fastest-growing markets and
helped U.S. and European policymakers manage inflation through the
import of inexpensively produced goods and services. The United States,
Europe, and Japan have helped developing economies create jobs by buying
huge volumes of their exports and by maintaining relative stability in
international politics.

But for the next 20 years, negotiations on economic and trade issues are
likely to be driven by competition just as much as recent debates over
nuclear nonproliferation and climate change have. The Doha Round is as
dead as the dodo, and the World Trade Organization cannot manage the
surge of protectionist pressures that has emerged with the global slowdown.

Conflicts over trade liberalization have recently pitted the United
States, the European Union, Brazil, China, India, and other emerging
economies against one another as each government looks to protect its
own workers and industries,often at the expense of outsiders. Officials
in many European countries have complained that Ireland’s corporate tax
rate is too low and last year pushed the Irish government to accept a
bailout it needed but did not want. German voters are grousing about the
need to bail out poorer European countries, and the citizens of southern
European nations are attacking their governments’ unwillingness to
continue spending beyond their means.

Before last November’s G-20 summit in Seoul, Brazilian and Indian
officials joined their U.S. and European counterparts to complain that
China manipulates the value of its currency. Yet when the Americans
raised the issue during the forum itself, Brazil’s finance minister
complained that the U.S. policy of “quantitative easing” amounted to
much the same unfair practice, and Germany’s foreign minister described
U.S. policy as “clueless.”

Other intractable disagreements include debates over subsidies for
farmers in the United States and Europe, the protection of intellectual
property rights, and the imposition of antidumping measures and
countervailing duties. Concerns over the behavior of sovereign wealth
funds have restricted the ability of some of them to take controlling
positions in Western companies, particularly in the United States. And
China’s rush to lock down reliable long-term access to natural resources
— which has led Beijing to aggressively buy commodities in Africa,
Latin America, and other emerging markets — is further stoking conflict
with Washington.

Asset and financial protectionism are on the rise, too. A Chinese
state-owned oil company attempted to purchase the U.S. energy firm
Unocal in 2005, and a year later, the state-owned Dubai Ports World
tried to purchase a company that would allow it to operate several U.S.
ports: both ignited a political furor in Washington. This was simply the
precursor to similar acts of investment protectionism in Europe and
Asia. In fact, there are few established international guidelines for
foreign direct investment — defining what qualifies as “critical
infrastructure,” for example — and this is precisely the sort of
politically charged problem that will not be addressed successfully
anytime soon on the international stage.

The most important source of international conflict may well come from
debates over how best to ensure that an international economic meltdown
never happens again. Future global monetary and financial stability will
require much greater international coordination on the regulation and
supervision of the financial system. Eventually, they may even require a
global super-regulator, given that capital is mobile while regulatory
policies remain national. But disagreements on these issues run deep.
The governments of many developing countries fear that the creation of
tighter international rules for financial firms would bind them more
tightly to the financial systems of the very Western economies that they
blame for creating the recent crisis. And there are significant
disagreements even among advanced economies on how to reform the system
of regulation and supervision of financial institutions.

Global trade imbalances remain wide and are getting even wider,
increasing the risk of currency wars — not only between the United
States and China but also among other emerging economies. There is
nothing new about these sorts of disagreements. But the still fragile
state of the global economy makes the need to resolve them much more
urgent, and the vacuum of international leadership will make their
resolution profoundly difficult to achieve.

WHO NEEDS TO DOLLAR?
Following previous crises in emerging markets, such as the Asian
financial meltdown of the late 1990s, policy makers in those economies
committed themselves to maintaining weak currencies, running current
account surpluses, and self-insuring against liquidity runs by
accumulating huge foreign exchange reserves. This strategy grew in part
from a mistrust that the IMF could be counted on to act as the lender of
last resort. Deficit countries, such as the United States, see such
accumulations of reserves as a form of trade mercantilism that prevents
undervalued currencies from appreciating. Emerging-market economies, in
turn, complain that U.S. fiscal and current account deficits could
eventually cause the collapse of the U.S. dollar, even as these deficits
help build up the dollar assets demanded by those countries accumulating
reserves. This is a rerun of the old Triffin dilemma, an economic
observation of what happens when the country that produces the reserve
currency must run deficits to provide international liquidity,deficits
that eventually debase the currency’s value as a stable international
reserve.

Meanwhile, debates over alternatives to the U.S. dollar, including that
of giving a greater role to Special Drawing Rights (an international
reserve asset based on a basket of five national currencies created by
the IMF to supplement gold and dollar reserves), as China has
recommended, are going nowhere, largely because Washington has no
interest in any move that would undermine the central role of the
dollar. Nor is it likely that China’s yuan will soon supplant the dollar
as a major reserve currency, because for the yuan to do so, Beijing
would have to allow its exchange rate to fluctuate, reduce its controls
on capital inflows and outflows, liberalize its domestic capital
markets, and create markets for yuan-denominated debt. That is a
long-term process that would present many near-term threats to China’s
political and economic stability.

In addition, energy producers are resisting policies aimed at
stabilizing price volatility through a more flexible energy supply.
Meanwhile, net energy exporters, especially Russia, continue to use
threats to halt the flow of gas as a primary foreign policy weapon
against neighboring states. Net energy consumers, for their part, are
resisting policies, such as carbon taxes, that would reduce their
dependency on fossil fuels. Similar tensions derive from the sharply
rising prices of food and other commodities. Conflicts over these issues
come at a time when economic anxiety is high and no single country or
bloc of countries has the clout to help drive a truly international
approach to resolving them.

From 1945 until 1990, the global balance of power was defined primarily
by relative differences in military capability. It was not market-moving
innovation or cultural dynamism that bolstered the Soviet bloc’s
prominence within a bipolar international system. It was raw military
power. Today, it is the centrality of China and other emerging powers to
the future of the global economy, not the numbers of their citizens
under arms or the weapons at their disposal, that make their choices
crucial for the United States’ future.

This is the core of the G-Zero dilemma. The phrase “collective security”
conjures up NATO and its importance for peace and prosperity across
Europe. But as the eurozone crisis vividly demonstrates, there is no
collective economic security in a globalized economy. Whereas Europe’s
interest rates once converged based on the assumption that southern
European countries were immune to default risks and eastern European
states were lined up to join the euro, now there is fear of a contagion
within the walls that might one day bring down the entire eurozone
enterprise.

Beyond Europe, those who make policy, whether in a market-based
democracy such as the United States or an authoritarian capitalist state
such as China, must worry first and foremost about growth and jobs at
home. Ambitions to bolster the global economy are a distant second.
There is no longer a Washington consensus, but nor will there ever be a
Beijing consensus, because Chinese-style state capitalism is designed to
meet China’s unique needs. It is that rare product that China has no
interest in exporting.

Indeed, because each government must work to build domestic security and
prosperity to fit its own unique political, economic, geographic,
cultural, and historical circumstances, state capitalism is a system
that must be unique to every country that practices it. This is why,
despite pledges recorded in G-20 communiqués to “avoid the mistakes of
the past,” protectionism is alive and well. It is why the process of
creating a new international financial architecture is unlikely to
create a structure that complies with any credible building code. And it
is why the G-Zero era is more likely to produce protracted conflict than
anything resembling a new Bretton Woods.

editori sa nikdy nestretli osobne (:

Intro [CORE] ***
quick hist of phil 1900s-2000s:
Heidegger & phenomenology; Derrida & Foucault (od late 70s); Deleuze (od smrti v mid-90s); Zizek a neskor aj Badiou (po smrti Derridu v 04);
tiez Latour (via OO ontologists Harman, Bryant, Bogost); Stengers (on Deleuze & Whitehead); Laruelle (non-philosophy, incl. cogn sci & neurophil);
v 02 DeLanda a Harman publikuju o realizme (Intensive Science & Tool-Being); mid-00s Meillassoux (After Finitude); SpecReal eventy 07 a 09
anti-realist trends @ phil incl. phenomenology, structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstruction, postmodernism.
teraz vid eko katastrofa alebo infiltration of tech into everyday (incl. bodies) – antirealizmus je neudrzatelny.
doteraz najma focus on texts, discourse, social practices, and human finitude — spec real na realitu ako taku.
SR vsetci uvazuju o realite inak ako cez myslenie a ludskost (napr textovu kritiku) – napr cez noumenal objects, causality-in-itself, neurovedu, matematicke absolutes, psychoanalyzu.
Speculation aims at something ‘beyond’ the critical and linguistic turns.
anti-realism found itself in trap of ‘correlationism’: ‘the idea according to which we only ever have access to the correlation between thinking and being, and never to either term considered apart from the other’.
povod v Kantovej kritickej filozofii (Kopernikovska revolucia: it is no longer the mind that conforms to objects, but rather objects that conform to the mind)
javy: preoccupation with such issues as death and
finitude, an aversion to science, a focus on language, culture, and subjectivity to the
detriment of material factors, an anthropocentric stance towards nature, a relinquish-
ing of the search for absolutes, and an acquiescence to the specific conditions of our historical thrownness. [p 4]
Zizek draws on the naturephilosophy of Schelling, the ontological vastness of Hegel, and the insights into the Real of Lacan.
@Parallax View 06:
??? ‘Materialism means that the reality I see is never “whole”—not because a large part of it eludes me, but be-
cause it contains a stain, a blind spot, which indicates my inclusion in it’.
Reality, he repeatedly states, is non-All; there is a gap, a stain, an irresolvable hole within reality
itself. The very difference between the for-itself and the in-itself is encompassed with-
in the Absolute. Only by attending to this gap can we become truly materialist. Žižek
has signalled a ‘transcendental materialist’ turn within recent continental thinking.
Badiou: ‘mathematics = ontology’ (@ Being and Event 05-EN), stavia ontologiu na teorii mnozin. matematika hovori o byti bez predikacii
Latour: ‘irreductionism’ – all entities are equally real (though not equally strong) insofar as they act on other entities.
Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, *late 90s, Sadie Plant & Nick Land @ Uni of Warwick, tiez Matthew Fuller, Kode 9, Kodwo Eshun, Mark Fisher.

@ part 1 – Grant [core] – ‘Does Nature Stay What It Is?’
kritizuje ‘materializmus’ Badioua a Zizeka (on cerpa z dynamist concept of matter & formal rather than material problem of Ground by Hindrichs);
a neo-Fichteanism kontinentalneho myslenia (napr Meillassoux, Zizek)
predtym Harman kritizuje G ze ‘podkopava’ objekty tym ze v nich hlada hlbsie materialne zaklady (Boha, fyzicke vlastnosti, pudy, predindividualno);
G na to: Harman is incapable of grasping the anteriority upon which both ideation and objects depend.

PSR = ?; by Leibniz
Ground = ?
kritizuje Newtonovsky dualizmus atomov a sil (ten vidno aj u ‘grounded’ power theorists @ phil of nature) ktory naraza pri metafyzike hmoty,
a konkretne pri koncepcii inertnej underlying substance.
cize chapu hmotu ako Aristoteles chape substanciu. z toho dualizmus (@ ontology of eliminative materialism), pritomny aj na SpecReal 2007 conf.
materializmus treba chapat ako ontologicku tezu – potom je vsetko materialne.
Hindrichs provides a functionalist model of the operation of grounding, which amounts to asserting the equivalence of ground, act and form.
conceptions of matter:
– substance
– dynamist – introduced into physics by Hans Christian Oersted in 1820 (@ exp demo of EM), but into philosophy by Plato.
[moc tazke, precitam neskor, vyzera byt zasadne]

@ part 2
Meillassouxovi zmietli nesmely navrh potreby (virtualneho) Boha;
a ze jeho uplne zavrhnutie kauzality a potreba kontingencie v prirode nie su zlucitelne, pretoze ta kontingencia v dosledku beztak implikuje kauzalitu alebo becoming.
ontologizuje Humeovi epistemologiu;
pletie si metafyzicku a natural necessity, co ho vedie k unjustifiable derivation of pure Chaos;
nerobi rozdiel medzi pure a applied matematikou, a kym reasoning bases on pure math, conclusions rozvadza siroko mimo nej;

@ part 3 – CHECK srnicek
Srnicek o tom ze via Laruelle’s non-phil (subjektivita ako formalistic procedure neredukovatelna na fenomenologicky/psych zaklad) sa da uniknut kapitalizmu,
ale ze realist ontology v sebe nemoze zahrnat grounds for eticku/politicku action (zbavuje iba kapitalistickej autority, ale nedava guidelines/imperatives dalej).

@ part 4
Meillassoux [core] robi rozdiel medzi ‘potencialitou’ a ‘virtualitou’ via Hume & Cantor.
Shaviro porovnava Harmana a Whiteheada – H’s non-relational ontology sux; H’s allure (linked to sublime) je aesth modernizmus, kym W’s beauty (‘the emergence of patterned contrasts’) je 21st c.
Harman [core]: Whitehead (like Latour) has an ontology of individual entities while Deleuze (like Bergson, Simondon, and Iain Hamilton Grant) do not view individuals as the basic personae of the world.
Latour [core] pise knihu o 14 modoch bytia via Souriau [tajne ich riesi od 1987] (do 2007 verejne nerobil phil rozdiel medzi phys/mental/animal/fictional actors), napr: phenomenon, thing, soul, fiction, God.

@ part 5
Protevi o Deleuzovom afekte via developmental systems theory, neurology and cognitive psychology,

conclusion
Zizek porovnava svoj materializmus s materializmami
scientific materialism (Darwinism, brain sciences),
‘discursive’ materialism (ideology as the result of material discursive practices),
Badiou’s ‘democratic materialism’ (the spontaneous egalitarian hedonism),
speculative.
only the assertion of the nature of reality as ‘non-All’ can sustain a truly materialist position.

6/10 Nick Davies read a four-paragraph story in his own paper about the arrest of Manning. Davies resolved to find Assange.
At the time of his meeting with Davies, Assange had repeatedly voiced frustration that his leaks hadn’t received the attention they deserved.
in BXL, Davis and Traynor went to the Hotel Leopold, woke up Assange, and began a conversation that lasted for the next 6 hrs
4th cache contains the personal files of all prisoners who had been held at Guantánamo.
Assange got on the phone and explained, falsely, according to Davies, that “it was always part of the agreement that I would introduce television at this stage.” Davies and Assange have not spoken since that afternoon.
In 2009, Guardian and Observer lost £37.9 mln and cut 203 jobs. Even after the job cuts, the two papers employ 630 journalists.

takze nyt&spiegel dostali via guardian via h brooke:

In October, while The Guardian was preparing to publish the Iraq War Logs and working on package three, Heather Brooke, a British freelance journalist who had written a book on freedom of information, had a copy of the package-three database leaked to her by a former WikiLeaks volunteer. Leigh shrewdly invited Brooke to join the Guardian team. He did not want her taking the story to another paper. Furthermore, by securing the same database from a source other than Assange, The Guardian might then be free of its promise to wait for Assange’s green light to publish. Leigh got the documents from Brooke, and the paper distributed them to Der Spiegel and The New York Times. The three news organizations were poised to publish the material on November 8.

That was when Assange stormed into Rusbridger’s office, threatening to sue. Rusbridger, Leigh, and the editors from Der Spiegel spent a marathon session with Assange, his lawyer, and Hrafnsson, eventually restoring an uneasy calm. Some in the Guardian camp had wanted to break off relations with Assange entirely. Rusbridger somehow kept all parties at the table—a process involving a great deal of coffee followed by a great deal of wine. Ultimately he agreed to a further delay, allowing Assange time to bring in other media partners, this time France’s Le Monde and Spain’s El País.

Justice Department lawyers were likely crossing their fingers that Assange would be extradited to Sweden and convicted, so they won’t have to attempt a tricky prosecution.

“He is short of money and short of secrets,” someone who has worked extensively with Assange told me. “The whole thing has collapsed.”

Smári McCarthy, who worked for WikiLeaks, maintained that “key people have become very concerned about the direction of WikiLeaks with regard to its strong focus on U.S. military files at the expense of ignoring everything else.” One associate of Assange’s says that, because of these departures, access to important elements of the site’s infrastructure has deteriorated, although Assange himself remains the key architect of the complex set of programs that underlie WikiLeaks and its content.

Domscheit-Berg’s book accuses Assange of “high-handedness, dishonesty, and grave mistakes,” and quotes him as dismissing criticism from colleagues with the words “I’m busy, there are two wars I have to end.”

Rusbridger: “Managing a relationship between a French afternoon paper, a Spanish daily, a German weekly, a paper on NY time, and a bunch of anarchists in hiding is trying!”

Assange’s former associates, disillusioned, likens Assange’s situation to the last scene in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, where the pigs are shown to have become indistinguishable from the human beings they had rebelled against.

‘state of exception’ (o nej pisem v eseji 1) – sebald’s ‘creaturely life’ (@santner’s book), heidegger, agamben, rilke, benjamin (‘petrified unrest’)
~ how human bodies and psyches register the “states of exception” that punctuate the “normal” run of social and political life.
The “essential disruption” that renders man “creaturely” for these writers has, that is, a distinctly political—or better, biopolitical—
aspect; it names the threshold where life becomes a matter of politics and politics comes to inform the very matter and materiality of life.
(eg. German Jews)

between personal memory and impersonal history, events one has not lived through oneself but that, in large measure through exposure
to the stories of those who did experience them, have nonetheless entered into the fabric of the self.

z Kostelanetz, Richard – Conversing With Cage, 2nd ed (2003)

cage, 83
I’m on the side of keeping things mysterious, and I have never enjoyed
understanding things. If I understand something, I have no further use for it. So I try to make a
music which I don’t understand and which will be difficult for other people to understand, too.

cage, 85
I like art to remain mysterious. I find that as long as a book or a painting or a piece of music is
not understood by me that I can use it. I mean use it in order to employ my faculties. If I
understand something I can put it on a shelf and leave it there. In the past I thought it had to do
with the feeling in Europe of a tradition or the history, whereas we here in America have very
little sense of history.

!!! cage, 72
I have from time to time, either for myself or for others, made statements that are like manifestos.
You know this is popular in the field of the arts—to say in a manifesto-style statement what
distinguishes the contemporary or modern thing from what isn’t. The first time I was asked to do
it, I did it with regard to painting.
I said that a painting was modern if it was not interrupted by
the effect of its environment—so that if shadows or spots or so forth fell on a painting and spoilt
it, then it was not a modern painting, but if they fell on it and, so to speak, were fluent with it,
then it was a modern painting.
Then, of course, I have said the same thing about music. If the music can accept ambient sounds
and not be interrupted thereby, it’s a modern piece of music. If, as with a composition of
Beethoven, a baby crying, or someone in the audience coughing, interrupts the music, then we
know that it isn’t modern. I think that the present way of deciding whether something is useful as
art is to ask whether it is interrupted by the actions of others, or whether it is fluent with the
actions of others.
What I have been saying is an extension of these notions out of the field of the
material of the arts into what you might call the material of society. If, for instance, you made a
structure of society that would be interrupted by the actions of people who were not in it, then it
would not be the proper structure.
^ aliens, my art, open work, participative, ….theory building

cage, 77
I think the history of art is simply a history of getting rid of the ugly by entering into it, and using
it. After all, the notion of something outside of us being ugly is not outside of us but inside of us.
And that’s why I keep reiterating that we’re working with our minds. What we’re trying to do is
to get them open so that we don’t see things as being ugly, or beautiful, but we see them just as
they are.

cage, 66
Formerly, one was accustomed to thinking of art as something better organized than life that
could be used as an escape from life. The changes that have taken place in this century, however,
are such that art is not an escape from life, but rather an introduction to it.

cage, 1978 – on improvised jazz
Aside from the question of rhythmic regularity, one of the reasons for my reticence regarding
jazz has to do with its conception and use of improvisation. This matter of improvisation has
always greatly concerned me. What I have never appreciated in improvisation is the return to
memory or to taste: the return of things that have been learned or to which one has become
accustomed—sometimes consciously, deliberately, sometimes insidiously. Phrases thought to be
original are only articulations heard a long time ago. In improvisation, when you think you are
following your own direction, most of the time you are following someone else’s line. At the
most, that is not what bothers me so much as the desire for uniqueness that appears in the act of
improvising. Once you realize the number of obstacles and of more or less deliberate references
that the improviser is struggling with, you can only smile at the claim to originality. The desire
for originality seems to be one of the great myths of jazz (and of a good part of contemporary
music in the classic tradition as well, for that matter). And it seems that not even “free jazz”
escapes this. I am bothered by these disproportionate assertions of the ego when I hear them. For
my own part, I do not look for originality. Whether or not my music is original does not concern
me. I would prefer to find a music separate from my memory and my tastes, which would in
some way be a discovery for me, and that has nothing to do with originality, because intention is
not involved. (Originality is always an effort, a state of tension. ) With an open-mindedness
toward the unintentional sound, I want not to control sound events but simply at most to write
instructions. That is why I’m against improvisation as it is usually understood (even if I
sometimes use it, because nothing should be prohibited!). [..]
The problem that jazz raises for me, at the level of rhythm, I repeat, is that I am bothered by its
regularity. I prefer the rhythm of what I call silence where sound can be born at any time.

cage, 1979 – silence & there’s always sound
I made a decision in the early fifties to accept the sounds that are in the world. Before that I had
actually been naive enough to think there was such a thing as silence. But I went into an
anechoic chamber in Cambridge, at Harvard University, and in this room I heard two sounds. I
thought there was something wrong with the room, and I told the engineer that there were two
sounds. He said describe them, and I did. “Well, ” he said, “the high one was your nervous
system in operation and the low one was your blood circulating. ” So that means that there is
music, or there is sound, whether I intend it or not.

cage, 1979 – silence & composing
What silence is is the change of my mind. It’s an acceptance of the sounds that exist rather than a
desire to choose and impose one’s own music. That has been at the center of my work ever since
then. I try when I make a new piece of music to make it in such a way that it doesn’t essentially
disturb the silence which already exists.

“reverse engineered hypothesis” :)

by Glaser & Strauss, 1967, sociologists

In a way GT resembles what many researchers do when retrospectively formulating new hypotheses to fit data. However, in GT the researcher does not pretend to have formulated the hypotheses in advance since preformed hypotheses are prohibited.
Glaser: all is data
GT has the goal of generating concepts that explain people’s actions regardless of time and place. The descriptive parts of a GT are there mainly to illustrate the concepts.

If your research goal is accurate description, then another method should be chosen since GT is not a descriptive method. Instead it has the goal of generating concepts that explain people’s actions regardless of time and place. The descriptive parts of a GT are there mainly to illustrate the concepts.
In most behavioral research endeavors persons or patients are units of analysis, whereas in GT the unit of analysis is the incident.
When comparing many incidents in a certain area, the emerging concepts and their relationships are in reality probability statements.
A GT is never right or wrong, it just has more or less fit (ako blizko maju koncepty k udalostiam ktore reprezentuju), relevance, workability and modifiability.
GT is not concerned with data accuracy as in descriptive research but is about generating concepts that are abstract of time, place and people.

1. all is data
2. open / substantive coding – poznamky k naskumanym udalostiam, riadok po riadku, opakovane zgrupit do konceptov a tie porovnavat s udalostami a refinovat ich
3. selective coding – nan prist ked som nasiel ‘tentative core’ (core variable), potom core guiding my coding. nevsimat si moc koncepty ktore sa jadra a podjadier netykaju. teda theoretical sampling – deduktivna cast GT
4. theoretical codes – pogrupovat fragmentarne koncepty do hypotez
5. memoing – core stage of GT. “Memos are the theorizing write-up of ideas about substantive codes and their theoretically coded relationships as they emerge during coding, collecting and analyzing data, and during memoing”. Memoing is total creative freedom without rules of writing, grammar or style.
6. sorting – memos are sorted, which is the key to formulate the theory for presentation to others. lots of new ideas emerge, which in turn are recorded in new memos
7. writing – The theoretical density should be dosed so concepts are mixed with description in words, tables, or figures to optimize readability. In the later rewriting the relevant literature is woven in to put the theory in a scholarly context.
No pre-research literature review [naive? risk of rediscovering the theories]. The literature shThis leads to a research practice where data sampling, data analysis and theory development are not seen as distinct and disjunct, but as different steps to be repeated until one can describe and explain the phenomenon that is to be researched. This stopping point is reached when new data does not change the emerging theory anymore.ould instead be read in the sorting stage being treated as more data to code and compare with what has already been coded and generated.
No taping (and transcribing) interviews – waste of time. staci field-noting interviews.
No talk. Talking about the theory before it is written up drains the researcher of motivational energy. Talking about the GT should be restricted to persons capable of helping the researcher without influencing her final judgments.

The research principle behind grounded theory is neither inductive nor deductive, but combines both in a way of abductive reasoning (coming from the works of Charles Sanders Peirce).
This leads to a research practice where data sampling, data analysis and theory development are not seen as distinct and disjunct, but as different steps to be repeated until one can describe and explain the phenomenon that is to be researched. This stopping point is reached when new data does not change the emerging theory anymore.

the World Wide Web was begun in 1989 by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee, working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1990, he proposed building a “web of nodes” storing “hypertext pages” viewed by “browsers” on a network,[1] and released that web in 1992.

http://www.w3.org/Proposal.html

In March 1989, Berners-Lee wrote a proposal[4] which referenced ENQUIRE and described a more elaborate information management system. With help from Robert Cailliau, he published a more formal proposal (on November 12, 1990) to build a “Hypertext project” called “WorldWideWeb” (one word, also “W3”)[1] as a “web of nodes” with “hypertext documents” to store data.

The proposal had been modeled after EBT’s (Electronic Book Technology, a spin-off from the Institute for Research in Information and Scholarship at Brown University) Dynatext SGML reader that CERN had licensed. The Dynatext system, although technically advanced (a key player in the extension of SGML ISO 8879:1986 to Hypermedia within HyTime), was considered too expensive and with an inappropriate licensing policy for general HEP (High Energy Physics) community use: a fee for each document and each time a document was charged.

By Christmas 1990, Berners-Lee had built all the tools necessary for a working Web:[5] the first Web browser (which was a Web editor as well), the first Web server, and the first Web pages[6] which described the project itself.

facebook
it’s closed system like skype or icq (you have to ‘register’),
but function-wise it is state-of-the-art tool regarding online
communication–it’s instant, and if you decide that you want to
use it for work rather than fun, it provides
pretty well developed collaborative environment:
it’s profile-based (either individual or group or event, etc),
and you post short or long statements or images or videos
(you can also share your calendar for instance),
and get news feed from everyone in your ‘friends’ list.
i want to explore what and (technically) what way you
can export data outside.
saw already many artists, activists and cultural people
use it a lot.
and you dont come into contact with dumb content coming
from people you dont know–only stuff from ‘friends’
is being filtered into your pages (plus horrible ads on
the side).
+
there’s pretty strong users’ pressure in cases when facebook inc
is taking stupid (and very predictable) steps against privacy,
usually they step back.
+
i hate revealing my personal stuff and supporting corporate
services of neoliberals (facebook is as ruthless
as microsoft), same like in case of mobile network providers,
or of skype, or of being hosted by webhosting companies
(in recent years it is better-hosted by friends and transparent
organisations), or of being connected to internet by private
telecom companies..
but emails and messengers and blogs are just not keeping
up with the progress on the side of technical possibilities..
and FLOSS social-networking-applications are only in
very early phases, like http://riseuplabs.org/crabgrass/
or http://elgg.org/ — i installed elgg on Multiplace server,
but it is still very primitive.. they still need several
years for development.. i think of these as the communication
tools at first place (in the context of email/skype/cellphone/
messaging/wiki).. what still remains is a question whether
we want to be creative with this ‘social-web’ craziness in any way..

zmeskanych uvodnych 15 minut:
In 2003, Harvard University student Mark Zuckerberg gets the idea to create a website to rate the attractiveness of female Harvard undergraduates after his girlfriend Erica Albright breaks up with him. Mark hacks into the databases of various residence halls and downloads pictures and names. Using an algorithm supplied by his best friend Eduardo Saverin, Mark creates a page called “FaceMash”, where male students choose which of two girls is more

attractive.
Mark is punished with six months of academic probation after the traffic to the site crashes parts of Harvard’s network, and becomes vilified among most of Harvard’s female community. However, the popularity of “FaceMash” and the fact that he created it in one night, while drunk, brings him to the attention of Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, identical twins and members of Harvard’s rowing team, and their business partner Divya Narendra.

Rolling Stone:
The Social Network is the movie of the year. But Fincher and Sorkin triumph by taking it further.
Lacing their scathing wit with an aching sadness, they define the dark irony of the past decade.

Sean Parker:
/
One day—in a scene fictionalized in The Social Network—Parker saw Thefacebook, as it was then known, on the computer of his roommate’s girlfriend, a student at Stanford. (In the movie, he gets his first peek after spending the night with a woman whose name he barely knows.)
^ toto bola dost nasilna nepodarena scena/sposob ako vtiahnut parkera do deja
/
Matt Cohler, who joined Thefacebook shortly after Parker, is awed when he thinks about that pivotal e-mail. “Napster and Facebook are two of the most significant companies in the history of the Internet,” he says, “and in both cases Parker spotted them earlier than anyone—other than the people who invented them.”
/
Parker impulsively flew to New York, where he met Zuckerberg for dinner, and the two quickly bonded. A few months later, in June 2004, they ran into each other on the streets of Palo Alto, where Parker, unemployed (but still driving around in a BMW 5-series), was living with yet another girlfriend.
/
Says Moskovitz (fb co-founder), known for his dry humor, “Sean probably deserves less credit for turning Facebook into what it is than he thinks he does, but also more credit than anybody else thinks he does.”
/
In the financing that Parker negotiated with Thiel, as well as a much larger deal signed seven months later with the Accel Partners venture-capital firm, Parker was able to negotiate for Zuckerberg something almost unheard of in a venture-funded start-up: absolute control for the entrepreneur. Because of that, Zuckerberg, to this day, allocates three of Facebook’s five board seats (including his own). Without that control, Facebook would almost certainly have been sold to either Yahoo or Microsoft, whose C.E.O., Steve Ballmer, offered $15 billion for it in the fall of 2007—only to be met with a blank stare from the then 23-year-old Zuckerberg.
/
On a kiteboarding trip to North Carolina in 2005 he was arrested during a party at his rental house on suspicion of cocaine possession. Though he was never formally charged, some of Facebook’s investors and employees felt Parker could no longer effectively serve as company president. With much anguish, he agreed to depart.
/
divides his nights between a San Francisco apartment and a palatial (rented) New York town house.
/
The Parker of the script is also greedy, which is not Sean Parker’s big issue. More than money, he wants credit and recognition.

Bennett iview, 2010
=
your student’s question: “How can we account for something like iterable structures in an assemblage theory?” is exactly the right question. I’m working on it!
(ale deleuze to tam ma popisane)
+
problem vytvarania podobnosti:
it is easy to get carried away and 1) forget that analogies are slippery and often misleading because they can highlight (what turn out to be) insignificant or non-salient-to-the-task-at-hand resemblances, 2) forget that your body-and-its-operations is not an ideal or pinnacle of evolution, but just the body you have; 3) forget that the human body is itself a composite of many different it-bodies, including bacteria, viruses, metals, etc. and that when we recognize a resemblance between a human form and a nonhuman one, sometimes the connecting link is a shared inorganicism. I think that anthropomorphizing can be a valuable technique for building an ecological sensibility in oneself, but of course it is insufficient to the task.
+
I also suggest that a heightened sensitivity to the agency of assemblages could translate into a national politics that was not so focused around a juridical model of moral responsibility, blame, and punishment.

In this essay, I seek to bring to the fore this vital power as it exists within
nonhuman ‘actants’.3 Bruno Latour defines an actant as ‘something that
acts or to which activity is granted by others. It implies no special motivation
of human individual actors, nor of humans in general.’4 Proceeding
from this definition, I will horizontalize the relations between humans,
biota and abiota—presenting all of them as actors vying for efficacy.

David Skrbina has argued at great and persuasive length, panpsychism has a long history
in, and is deeply embedded within, Western thought (Skrbina 2005).
panpsychism has recently come to be entertained by thinkers of various persuasions,
including analytic philosophers like Galen Strawson (2006) and to some extent David Chalmers (1997).

Boxhagenerplatz area:
Macondo – myslim ludia z Chile to maju, trochu sa atmosferou podoba na Kuzo v Neukollne, akurat sem chodia ludia, vela ludi, a maju velke okna do ulice otvorene cez den, tak sa da sediet na verande v podstate, a niekedy pomaly net, ale zas na pisanie staci
Szimpla – to su madari, Szimpla je tiez v Pesti fajna kaviaren, toto je jej druzba, a da sa tam byt cely den, akurat niekedy hraju neznesitelne dlho madarsky folk
Soylent (soylent / soylentgreen) – sem chodim celkom rad, akurat je to viac a viac chic s hipster posadkou, ale zas robi pravyborne capuccino, aj dve si niekedy dam
Datscha – nieco na sposob Gorki Parku co je na Rosenthalerplatzi, fabrikozne to posobi, fake soviet, ale da sa tam byt a robit nejaku administrativnu pracu, napriklad uctovnictvo osobne raz za rok
Conmux
Kaufbar (kaufbar / papagei03) – trochu drahi, mala rodinna hip kaviaren, vzadu maju smradlavy dvor, lepsie byt vnutri
Karvana – cokoladaren, vela rodiniek s detmi, rano sa oplati ked tam este neni vela ludi, a cokoladu maju velmi fajn

PRENZLAUERBERG
Helmholtzplatz area:
Al Hamra (alhamra / 7777766666) – paradna libanonska restika a kaviaren, supertop je dost v nedelu na obed, to maju all-you-can-eat praparadnych jedal, za 7 euro, a mozes sa napchavat do piatej poobedia a popritom si riesit veci na kompe; da sa pripadne zasit aj do suterenu ale lepsie je to hore, viac svetla a tak
Immer Gern
Liebling
Hans Wurst – veganske kafe, aj jedlo maju, velmi hip, ale dobre veci maju, raz za mesiac vecer koncert, ktovie ci su este vobec otvoreni
.
Senefelderplatz area:
Ms Volkerfreundschaft – anarcho posobia ti ludia vnutri vzdy, a na zastrckach maju dokonca napisanu cenu ze kolko by si mal clovek priplatit za kazdu hodinu co pouziva ich elektrinu, som sa tam preto vzdy trochu bal chodit
Manolo
Volksbar – velmi hip, iba v pripade emergency
kafe kde som bol raz s Evelyne na ranajkach (Kopenhagenerstr?)

magde:
v poslednej dobe dost uvazujem o ‘pocuvani hudby’
(socialne, intersubjektivne, esteticke aspekty,
najma v suvislosti s kazdodennostou, s travenim casu),
napriklad si pozriem cez last.fm co pocuva gnd, zapnem si to
tiez a bavime sa na skype;
podobne na IRCcku co tam stale visime piati-siesti tak
vzdy cca tusim co prave pocuvaju ostatni a je to celkom
pekny element v spolocnom ‘hanging out’;
hudbu tiez dost zdielam a cez to aky na nu dostanem
feedback od ludi ich tiez spoznavam;
tiez idea performance ako pocuvania – ze performer postavi
nastroj alebo nejaky setup, semtam mu nejak pomoze, ale
primarne pocas performance si ho prisiel vypocut podobne
ako ostatne poblikum; atd…
ten trip do srbska a rumunska s tym suvisi tiez… lucia a gnd
idu okrem rozhovorov nahravat aj prostredie, ambient,
bude to pocuvaci vylet… :)
…
Shingo sa tomu venuje tiez:
“Except for artistic activities, he works as organizer too.
His organized events is called “listening point”. One big purpose of the
concert is to realize a space on which not only public but also
musicians too can “listen together”. Namely, “point for listening”.
In addition to,the listening as an activity expands more through
this “point”, it’s meant,too.”

velke strany nemaju vela miesta na manevrovanie a ciselna a abstraktna politika je odsudena na populizmus
a flexibilnu navigaciu v chaotickom prostredi; v principe je sucastou europskeho samoregulujuceho sa mechanizmu, takze tam ide v podstate o fazulky.
what matters su minority – romovia, narodnostne mensiny (ukrajinci, vietnamci, cinania; nie madari, tych je vela a zle sa mat nebudu), imigranti (slovensko prijima zalostne malo ludi), bezdomovci a socialne slabi,
nabozenske mensiny (moslimi).
velke strany sa tymto temam spravidla vyhybaju, male nemaju skusenosti a vo velkej politike ambicie osekavaju pripadne sa ich uplne vzdaju v pude sebazachovy.
politicke strany ich v podstate nepriznane outsourcuju do tretieho sektora.
takze paradoxne meciar urobil pre slovensko plus ked zaviedol 2%.
? ktore strany dnes hovoria o podpore a vyzname tretieho sektora?
dalej ekologia, kultura a skolstvo…… vsetko minoritne temy. (za dzurindu boli granty lepsie ako za socialistov…)
ako zivnostnika mi rovna dan priniesla vyrazne ulahcenie uctovnictva (vacsim podnikatelom a investorom
zvonka stransparentnenie ekonomie podnikania)

ministri kultury – ktore vlady mali ake vysledky?

[10:54:18 AM] dirtyintunel: no,to je jedno, ja pojdem volit takzvane mensie zlo:)a z principu by som nebola schopna neist volit
[10:54:23 AM] dirtyintunel: ale to je jedno
[10:54:36 AM] dusanson: nj
[10:54:44 AM] dusanson: ja som zvazoval pragmaticky pristup
[10:56:12 AM] dusanson: ale v konecnom dosledku nevidim rozdiel zasadny
[10:58:50 AM] dirtyintunel: no, ja myslim ze mat vo vlade extremnych nacionalistov napriklad a mat vo vlade pravicovu vladu je celkom rozdiel.aj ked samozrejme, kazdy si moze povedat ze vsetci su rovnake svine
[10:59:21 AM] dirtyintunel: no, tak sa teda asi minieme.
[11:00:10 AM] dirtyintunel: ja budem v ba asi len par dni: pondelok, utorok, stredu rano nejak vyrazim späť aby som stihla byt o stvrtej vo fra
[11:03:54 AM] dusanson: veci ktore pre mna politicky maju zmysel – kvalitne skolstvo, nezavislu kulturu, romov, narodnostne mensiny, imigrantov, socialne vylucenych – outsourcuju strany ktore by som potencialne volil na bedra neziskoviek, ktore ale ledva prezivaju – nenasiel som ziadnu stranu ktora by mala priority rozvoj tretieho sektora, skolstvo, kulturu a ekologiu… ostatne veci sa uz samoreguluju v ramci toho ze SK je integrovane do EU
[11:07:07 AM] dusanson: chybaju mi na slovensku zeleni, ktori boli v cechach na vrchole pred 4 rokmi
[11:07:46 AM] dusanson: + som laviciar, nech uz to v postkomunistickych realiach vyznieva hocako
[11:35:58 AM] dirtyintunel: ja som tiez laviciar a aj tak nedam proste hlas smeru, lebo to pre mna nie je lavica
[11:36:22 AM] dirtyintunel: radsej budem volit pravicu nez mu dat hlas tym ze volit vobec nepojdem
[11:37:01 AM] dirtyintunel: a este som si neprecitala vsetky volebne programy ale vyberiem si podla toho co mi bude pripadat ze ma asi najvacsi zmysel.
[11:38:33 AM] dusanson: ja ak by som volil tak most, ale pride mi dost necitatelny
[11:39:29 AM] dirtyintunel: zelenych nemame to je fakt, a ktovie kedy mat budeme.ale zatial proste budem volit to co je sice nedokonale ale aspon nie uplne za ramcom nejakej slusnosti: napriklad ked chces podporu pre romov a neziskovky,tak ti mozem povedat ze neziskovky sa maju teraz tisic krat horsie nez sa mali v dobe sdku.tym nevravim ze idem volit sdku, ale rozhodne nechcem nechat prepadnut svoj hlas smeru
[11:42:10 AM] dirtyintunel: takmer vsetky dlhodobejsie projekty rozvojovej pomoci boli narusene a vlastne tym znicene odkedy su strany smer a sns pri moci.a proste ked mam moznost ich odtial dostat,tak to proste spravim aj za cenu toho ze nemozem volit stranu ktora by sa mi fakt ze pacila
[11:42:50 AM] dirtyintunel: alebo sa o to aspon pokusim
[11:43:02 AM] dirtyintunel: lebo je mozne ze to aj tak vyhraju
[11:43:36 AM] dirtyintunel: ale fakt tomu nebudem prispievat tym ze nepojdem volit.ale to je moj nazor.mozno sa mylim
[11:44:09 AM] dusanson: ake su preferencie teraz
[11:44:11 AM] dusanson: ?
[11:44:35 AM] dirtyintunel: netusim, budem sa tym zaoberat vo fra, tam mam na taketo veci cas popri praci:)
[11:44:44 AM] dirtyintunel: teraz musim pisat
[11:45:08 AM] dusanson: pozeram , ze pises jak gonzales )
[11:45:14 AM] dirtyintunel: ale volit proste urcite pojdem, nech by boli akekolvek.a nemam rada taky ten nazor ze : ved to je aj tak jedno.
[11:45:59 AM] dusanson: jaka debata zrazu
[11:46:03 AM] dirtyintunel: mam uz fakt radsej strajkujucich francuzov kazdy utorok a stvrtok nez mamvpicistickych slovakov co nedojdu na demosku lebo prsalo :)
[11:46:04 AM] dusanson: ja tu cvicim popritom
[11:46:27 AM] dirtyintunel: heh, sory.uz som ticho.
[11:49:05 AM] dusanson: hh, sdku chyba este par desatin percent a mozu zrobit koaliciu so smerom
[11:49:25 AM] dirtyintunel: tak to je celkom smrt
[11:49:31 AM] dusanson: pod to neviem ci sa chcem podpisovat
[11:49:31 AM] dirtyintunel: taka koalicia
[11:50:00 AM] dusanson: myslim ze pragmaticky pristup mal zmysel proti meciarovi
[11:50:07 AM] dusanson: ze laviciari volili pravicu atd
[11:50:23 AM] dusanson: pred 8 rokmi
[11:50:23 AM] dirtyintunel: no, tak ako hovoria vsakovake ceske protikampane a kampane, strc hlavu do piesku :)
[11:50:27 AM] dusanson: teraz je situacia ina, sme v eu
[11:50:35 AM] dusanson: to neni piesok, vobec nie
[11:50:36 AM] dirtyintunel: hej, takze mozme mat v pici
[11:50:55 AM] dusanson: politika neni o tom ze raz za 4 roky idem k urne a mam to vybavene
[11:50:56 AM] dirtyintunel: nie, tu nejde o to volit sdku.ja ich asi vobec volit nebudem
[11:51:03 AM] dirtyintunel: no jasne ze neni
[11:51:34 AM] dusanson: keby som mal v pici tak to ani nerieism
[11:51:43 AM] dirtyintunel: ale vtedy mozes prispiet tomu ze sa tam napriklad nedostane strana ktoru tvoje osobne postoje odmietaju
[11:53:14 AM] dusanson: ja v tomto proste nechcem byt chladny pragmatik ktory sa preda za male dobro ktore aj tak neni iste
[11:54:00 AM] dirtyintunel: hm, a ja to zas beriem tak, ze asi treba robit male kroky k tomu aby sa raz z toho maleho dobra stalo “velke dobro”
[11:54:23 AM] dirtyintunel: a myslim si ze pokial bude pri moci smer a sns tak sa to asi moc nestane
[11:55:15 AM] dusanson: ja to tak nemam
[11:55:21 AM] dirtyintunel: a hlavne mat nacionalisticku vladu popri madarskej nacionalistickej vlade mi vobec nepride ze je dobre.
[11:55:25 AM] dusanson: tak sa mozeme bavit teraz veky vekuce )
[11:56:12 AM] dusanson: male kroky sa robia v tretom sektore
[11:57:08 AM] dusanson: a to som este dost umierneni
[11:57:18 AM] dusanson: par kamosov anarchistov su uplne proti statu
[11:59:15 AM] dirtyintunel: no,dusan,aj ja mam kamosov anarchistov ale to beriem uz kusok ako extrem ktory neviem ako dlho by medzi ludmi fungoval.ja citim v poslednej dobe z ludi len zvysenu agresiu, zvysene dusno, celkovu nervozitu a deziluzie, skepsu, paranoju atd.anarchia by to mozno uvolnila na chvilu ale neviem ci vyriesila.
[12:00:27 PM] dusanson: ono je to dost zlozitejsie, pri anarchii nejde o ‘konecne riesenie’
[12:00:31 PM] dusanson: ale musim het teraz
[12:00:40 PM] dirtyintunel: ved vpoho, ale aj tak..
[12:01:40 PM] dirtyintunel: netusim, ci by to nieco vyriesilo. aj ked si myslim ze demokraticky system tak ako teraz funguje sa mi tiez nepaci:)
[12:03:16 PM] dirtyintunel: ale aj tak proste nedam a nedam a nedam hlas proste snsakom.a ani smeru.proste nedam, lebo su pre mna veci co robili nechutne, a ich prezentacia este horsia..

politicky subjekt – raz za styri roky odvolit a potom sa stiahnut naspat do pozicie observera
+
For liberals, not voting is equivalent to not acting, and political action is synonymous with voting.
+
a non-vote often just ends up as a vote for whoever can be bothered to turn up at the polls.
+
if over half the country refused to take part in the game, then at least the government can no longer claim that it represents the people.
+
‘voting against’ rather than for (to ja [zatial] nazyvam pragmatizmom)
+
more responsible to say ‘no’, than to remain silent
+
we should have a ‘none of the above’ option on the ballot.

ranciere – disagreement (1999) – chapter: democracy and consensus (o postdemokracii)
Much of this critique is directed at proponents of consensus democracy, to which Rancière has two main objections: first, that these societies relentlessly produce individuals and groups that take no part in the system of politics by consensus; and second, that democracies produce communities that are configured in such a way that individuals are counted according to ethnic or national identities rather than political potential.
~ holmes:
In Disagreement (published originally in 1995), he confronted the philosophy of government with the scandal of the political.1 Government fulfills an

ideal of order when it administers, manages, and tries to totally account for a population; but its reality is the police. The police keeps everyone in their place, imposes the calculations of value, apportions out the shares in society.
The political is an opposite process, and it is rare. It happens when outcasts stand up to say that the calculations are wrong, when they refuse the names and the places they’ve been given (we’re not a surplus), to claim both a share in society and another name, which will signify their particular

addition to universal equality (we’re a plus).
..
Equality is the groundless claim of a minority to have the rights of any other group, to be the demos, the people.
..
In an essay written just after Disagreement, Rancière explained that the political always involves a disidentification with some aspect of the existing community—for example, with the police state that expels the jobless or the paperless. At the same time, it requires an impossible identification with “the cause of the other.”2 This impossible identification suggests a new, subjective figure of political commitment.

alebo studenti 68: we are all german jews;
?adoptovanie paperless cloveka? – @late 90s, with the public act, often performed in theaters, of parrainage or “god-parenting,” which meant taking a quasi-familial, quasi-legal responsibility for an undocumented individual;

CZ: Belohradsky, Mecl

Ivan Stefunko 1977 – zaujimavy lavicovy politolog
*77 vych. SK; Ľavičiar z Mladej demokratickej ľavice, ktorá vznikla na pôde SDĽ; viedol týždenník Slovo; od 2000 žije v BA; euractiv.sk.
Ľavica je pre mňa základná platforma pre ozajstnú slobodu a demokraciu. Len človek, ktorý je skutočne nezávislý, môže byť slobodný a nebude utláčaný.
Žil som s rodičmi v Alžírsku a dva roky som strávil na francúzskej internátnej škole v hlavnom meste, kde som býval s viac ako 30 národnosťami – od Arabov, cez černochov, až po Vietnamcov. Mám iný pohľad na konflikt civilizácií, ako ho pomenoval Huntington. Poznal som veľa európskych chrapúňov a mnoho dobrých Arabov, čo neznamená, že v každom národe nie je nejaká negatívna vlastnosť. Navyše, francúzske vzdelávanie kladie dôraz na spoločensko-vednú výchovu a už v 15 rokoch ma ovplyvnili Zola, Sartre a Camus. A človek, čo žije v rozvojom svete, musí vnímať, že trh nevyrieši všetko a že nie všetky „kapitalistické” vzťahy a kroky sú fajn.

Michal Havran 1973, ed. lavicovy server jetotak.sk
vyštudoval protestantskú teológiu v Štrasburgu, je zakladateľom a šéfredaktorom portálu Jetotak.sk. Jedenásť rokov žil vo Francúzsku.
2007: Portál JeToTak.sk má obsahovo nadviazať na stránky e-politika.eu (do 2/07), odkiaľ prichádzajú aj kľúčoví autori.
* 3/07, Vydavateľstvo Mediage
Jeho editormi sú Ľubomír Lintner, Michal Havran a Jarmila Mikušová. Kotian a Havran pôsobili v minulosti v denníku SME či v týždenníku Domino Fórum, Ľubomír Lintner naposledy v TV Markíza, odkiaľ prostredníctvom strany ANO vstúpil do politiky.

Martin Filko, ekonom a publicista
ex-poradca ministra financií SR Jána Počiatka (od 1/08), odborný asistent na Ústave verejnej politiky FSEV UK, junior výskumník a PhD. študent ekonómie/vedy o behaviorálnej teórii rozhodovania na Erazmovej univerzite v Rotterdame.
magisterský titul v odbore klinická a organizačná psychológia na Univerzite Komenského v Bratislave, absolvoval EUBA, odbor medzinárodné ekonomické vzťahy.
V 2006 uverejnil časopis Trend jeho článok Bieda slovenskej ekonómie, v ktorom kritizoval kvalitu slovenského ekonomického vzdelávania (najmä EUBA), vedy a verejnej diskusie. Inicioval vznik skupinového blogu Radostná veda.

Juraj Draxler 1975
wannabe kriticky, zvasty, pragmatik, bez charizmy, refren: potreba kritickej diskusie
Momentálne žije v Prahe, kde píše, skúma a vyučuje. Občas dochádza do Londýna či do Bruselu (Centrum pre európske politické štúdie, CEPS), kde má ďalšie pracovné aktivity. A občas do anglického Lancasteru, kde si robí doktorát (nové teoretické prístupy k problematike sociálneho štátu).

Vyštudoval Medzinárodnú univerzitu (dnes Jacobs University) v Brémach a Univerzitu v Yorku. V minulosti pracoval napríklad ako asistent vedenia strojárskeho holdingu či ako novinár v britskej agentúre Reuters. Po rokoch strávených v Bruseli a na severe Anglicka chce žiť už len tam, kde je dosť slnka. + prednášateľ na českom pracovisku University of New York

SK bolo s cz v 1 state uz za rakuskeho cisarstva a potom za rak-uhorska.
Dual monarchia (867-18) sharovala armadu, fin a zahr. politiku.
R&U vytvorili alianciu s DE (1879) a IT (1882) aby vyvazili RU a FR mocnosti
1908 R&U anektovali bosnu&herz (okupovali ju od 1878 ako nasledok Great Balkan Crisis, ked R&U bolo neutralne ked sa rusko a turecko bili o srbsko, to nakoniec ziskalo nezavislost [Congress of Berlin]), ako spolocne vlastnictvo.
=> uvahy o CR+B&H ako tretej (slovanskej) casti monarchie, a Franz Ferdinand bol zastanca tohto trializmu, ktorym chcel obmedzit silu HU aristokracie => takze ho nemilovali v HU ani v srbsku (?!).
V 14 ho zavrazdili srbski nacionalisti v bosne (sarajevo).
Od 1878 [Congr of BLN] DE 5x zvysilo military costs, UK,RU,FR 3x, R&U ledva 2x.
1913 Srbsko ziskalo nove uzemia v Second Balkan War => obavy v R&U (ti stratili etnicky talianske uzemia).
Cast vlady chcela preventivnu vojnu so Srbskom, no 84yr vladca bol proti akymkolvek dobrodruzstvam.
No po atentate (vyuzili ako zamienku) vydala vlada backed by DE ally srbom July Ultimatum, ktore ratali ze srbi nikdy neakceptuju. => ti akceptovali 9, a iba cast 10teho, nasledne R&U vyhlasili vojnu => RU mobilizovala na podporu Srbska => domino reakcia dalsich protimobilizacii. IT najprv neutralna napriek aliancii, v 15 sa pridala na druhu stranu dufajuc ze ziska uzemia od byvalych spojencov.
konieckoncov bolo R&U vojenskym satelitom Nemecka

rough summary:
900-1300s NO (nastup christianity v 1000s-1100s)
late 1300s-1521 Kalmar Union = DK+NO+SW (maju si byt rovni, ale DK aj tak ruluje)
1521-1814 DK+NO vs SW (NO v tazkom zavese za DK; nastup protestantizmu v 1500s)
1814-1905 SW+NO, DK (NO ma len pomaly rozvoj)
od 1905 uz konecne neni vassal state (v 1814 bolo pol roka samostatne, a predtym do 1300s)

povodni domorodci (north+central NO) = Sámi people.
900 – po bitke pri Stavangeri Harald Fairhair unitol Vikingov = prvy NO kral, tvrda ruka, tak miestni odchadzaju kolonizovat okolie (IS, Greenland, Faroe, zalozili napriklad Dublin).
1000s-1100s – christianity replaces norse traditions.
Feudalism never really developed in Norway and Sweden, as it did in the rest of Europe.
1300s: Black Death kills 50-60% NO – velmi dlho sa z toho spamatavali.

1397: NO+DK kralovna Margaret si nasla Erika a v Kalmare bol korunovany za krala NO+DK+SW = Kalmar Union.
* 1521 SW vystupuje z Kalmar Union
* 1536 nastup protestantizmu, NO sa stava tributary of DK = vsetky prijmy cirkvi idu do CPH.
* 1600s SW ziskava niekolko provincii NO (vela vojen DK-NO vs SW)
* 1611 king Christian IV napadol SW, chce ho pripojit spet k DK, ale nepodarilo sa, SW has to pay vysoke war indemnity (Aelvsborg ransom), z penazi postavi Gluckstadt (ako rival Hamburgu), vyhorene Oslo->Christiania, Christianshavn (@DK, dnes tam aj Christiania), a dalsie mesta.
* 1801+07 Battles of CPH = UK napada CPH (lebo DK-NO je neutralne kvoli obchodu s FR[Napoleon] aj s UK) => UK kontroluje waterways bwn NO a DK. => 1813 DK-NO bankrotuje.
* 1814 Congress of Vienna + Trety of Kiel: DK-NO musi odovzdat NO Svedsku (DK si necha Iceland, Greenland, Faroe). 17.5. NO ale vyhlasuje samostatnost (ustava vychadza z US a FR), DK-NO korunny princ vyhlaseny za NO krala

1814 NO+DK sa rozpada (po 436yr) – kingdom’s royal, intellectual, administrative power was centred in CPH ~ “400-Year Night” by NO romantics => NO-SW war – RU a UK ich pritlacili do spolocnej unie – v nej ma NO pomaly ekon.rozvoj => 2/2 1800s *NO romantic nationalism.
Henrik Wergeland (1808-45) anarchista a la Kropotkin or Ragnar Frisch.
1848 protesty v EUR sa NO moc nedotkli – burzoazia moc mala, centralnu moc ma aristokracia. ale Marcus Thrane (!!) utopian socialist – labour society of 20000 (incl. Ibsen) for changing social structure -> revolt -> crushed (po zalari odisiel do USA). Thrane 1851: Proudhon is “with no doubt greatest genius of our time”.
In 1850 the 22yr Ibsen used the play “Catilina” to promote the anarchist ideal about fairness and freedom without violence, investigated in a societal context, universally and individually, probably inspirated by Proudhon.
1905 NO peacefully samostatne (po 586yr, thx to Christian Michelsen shipping magnate + NO prime minister) – v referende ludia za kralovstvo.

WW1 NO neutral.
WW2 NO neutral, ale surprise attack z DE (NO had 4th largest merchant marine fleet in world & heavy water plant – DE ho potrebuju pre nuclear program – ten neskor sabotaged by NO resistance), ti instalovali kvazi protektorat (Vidkun Quisling je babkovy premier), kral a vlada vysiela radiom z Londyna a podporuje clandestine attacks against Nazis in NO.
Price control and rationing of housing and cars continued as long as until 1960.
1969 Philips objavili petroleum loziska na zapad od NO, 1973 stat zaklada Statoil, vela investicii a net income az od early 1980s.
Late 90s – zahr.dlh splateny, a NO si robi sovereign wealth fund, od 90s divisive question in politics = kolko oil penazi ma stat minut a kolko usetrit.

V krajine sa squatterská tradícia rozšírila v 80. rokoch počas vypuknutia akútnej krízy na realitnom trhu.

v 6/10 boli lokalne (alebo to su general?) volby
The left-liberal D66, right-liberal VVD (Mark Rutte 8 eb* 67 aq), and right-wing parties PVV (Geert Wilders 13 cib 63 vi) and [nationalist] TON (Rita Verdonk) all did well.
In the two communities where the PVV participated it scored well becoming the largest party in Almere and the second largest in The Hague. It was the first local election the PVV has ever contested.
christian democratic CDA faired poorly
social democratic PvdA did extremely bad
The socialist SP also suffered losses.

v 6/10 dostal vo vseob volbach VVD o kreslo viac ako PvdA. krestania prepadli, PVV ziskala vela.

VVD:
Issues rather than charisma. VVD even made the deliberate decision of running a campaign that didn’t show Rutte’s face.
To draw attention away from its uncharismatic leader, the VVD focused on issues such as safety, roads, taxes for hard working citizens, and grappling with the soaring budget deficit.
Rutte, after being a human resources manager at Unilever and a deputy minister, first of social affairs and later of education, he ran for leadership of the VVD in 2006. He narrowly and unexpectedly defeated his adversary, Rita Verdonk, the popular but controversial minister of immigration.

PVV, report polit.teoretikov v 2010:
“new radical right” () – not an extreme right-wing party, but contained some radical right-wing elements. party’s pro-Israel stance shows that it is not neo-Nazi. It tends however towards a national democratic ideology. povodne tam mali verziu ze je “extreme right-wing grouping and a threat to social cohesion and democracy”.

* Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA), a centre-right Christian Democratic party. It holds to the principle that government activity should supplement but not supplant communal action by citizens. The CDA puts its philosophy between the “individualism” of the VVD and the “statism” of the PvdA.
* The Labour Party (PvdA), a social democratic, centre-left Labour party. Its programme is based on greater social, political, and economic equality for all citizens.
* The Party for Freedom (PVV), an anti-Islam nationalist-conservative party founded and dominated by Geert Wilders, formerly of the VVD. Its philosophy is based on free market economics and opposition to immigration and European integration.
* The Socialist Party (SP), in its first years a radical socialist/communist party, a Maoist split from the Communist Party Netherlands, is now a more mainstream socialist party, left from the PvdA on economic issues but at the same time taking more conservative positions on issues like integration and national identity than the PvdA.
* The People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), a conservative liberal party. It attaches great importance to private enterprise and the freedom of the individual in political, social, and economic affairs.
* Democrats 66 (D66), a social-liberal radical party. The party supports liberal policies on abortion and euthanasia and reform of the welfare state. The party is left-wing on immigration, environment and foreign policy.
* Green Left (GroenLinks) combines, as its name implies green environmentalist ideals with left-wing ideals. The party is also strongly in favour of the multicultural society.
* Christian Union (ChristenUnie), a Christian-democratic party made up by mostly orthodox Protestant Christians, with conservative stances on abortion, euthanasia and gay marriage. In other areas the party is considered centre-left, for instance on immigration, welfare state and environment.
* The Party for the Animals is a single-issue animal rights party with natural affinity for environmental issues. In general, the party is considered left of the centre.
* The Political Reformed Party (SGP), the most orthodox Protestant party with conservative policies: government is only to serve God. It is a testimonial party. Only in 2006 and after heavy political pressure were women allowed to be members of this party.
* Proud of the Netherlands (Trots op Nederland), the political movement associated with independent parliamentarian and former government

minister of the VVD, Rita Verdonk. It takes a patriotic, populist stand on most political issues.

The first Muslims who settled in the Netherlands were Indonesians who fled from its bloody war of Independence @ 19th c.
imigr vlna @ 60s-1973 – NL oficialne nabera pracovnu silu – najma MOR a TR, ti potom do krajiny prinasaju rodiny via family reunification laws.
A number of Surinamese Muslims came to the Netherlands before and after the independence of Suriname in 1975.
In 80s and especially since 90s, Muslims have also come to the Netherlands as refugees and asylum seekers, mainly from Bosnia, Somalia, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan
Dnes immigr najma via marriage migration & family reunification laws.
In 2005?3 NL passed immigration laws which force future immigrants and their prospective Dutch partners to abide by very strict requirements. Immigrants must pass tests showing knowledge of Dutch in their home countries. The Dutch partner must be at least 21 years old and prove income of at least 120% minimum wage. These strict laws have caused many Dutch interested in marrying people from other countries to move to Belgium for a temporary period, in what has been called “The Belgian Route”. => od 03 silne klesol priliv TR a MOR.
about 400 mosques in the Netherlands, with about 200 Turkish mosques, 140 Moroccan mosques and 50 Surinamese.
45 Islamic elementary schools, and two high schools.

all foreign nationals who have legally resided in the country for five years have the right to vote in local elections

group is influenced by the ideology of Takfir wal-Hijra.
Redouan al-Issar, also known as “The Syrian” is the suspected spiritual leader of the group.
Most media attention is attracted by Mohammed Bouyeri, sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering van Gogh (2004) and by Samir Azzouz, suspected of planning terrorist attacks on the Dutch parliament and several strategic targets such as the national airport and a nuclear reactor.
Group is also suspected of planning to kill several members of government and parliament.
Bouyeri 78, al-Issar 55?65, ostatni 20-somethings

In 2006 Minister of Justice Piet Hein Donner (christ dem) provoked an outcry when he suggested the Netherlands might accept Sharia law in a constitutional manner. “It is a sure certainty for me: if two thirds of all Netherlanders tomorrow would want to introduce Sharia, then this possibility must exist. Could you block this legally? It would also be a scandal to say ‘this isn’t allowed! The majority counts. That is the essence of democracy.” The statements were categorically refused by parties across the political spectrum, as well as by one Muslim leader.

sumar:

rotterdam is quite industrial, all centre was bombed by
nazis (to make NL surrender, which they did afterwards).
more than half the city are immigrants (from surinam,
turkey, morocco, antiles), 1/4 of city is muslim,
including the mayor who is moroccan and practising believer.
people are nonstop fluctuating, 80% flats in the centre
are rented.

politically, people are divided between social democrats
and right-wing fortuyn’s populists, half-half. although
socdemocrats won the elections only by 600 votes earlier
this year, and mayor had to order to recount the results
two times. and fortuynes are growing.

food quite horrible. everything is fried (like chinese noodles
with carrot in the small fried squares), i guess ice cream too.
fast food, and sweet pee as a drink.

Wielewaal is unique in Rdam, built for the people who lost their homes due to the German bombardment of the city centre in 1940. Built as a temporary housing project, like several others housing projects such as the Brabantsedorp, it is the last one remaining. Local community prevented the demolition. It holds about 366 houses, one level, with gardens in front and back. Nowadays it resambles a holiday resort, with asfalt roads, no road signs, lots of green spaces inbetween, sport facilities and all quiet. [cosi ako zlin? :) ]

Reich

youth can be the subject for a good fiction film. In his youth he was a charismatic leader, a young doctor in the revolu- tionary movement in Germany, who tried to introduce sex and love into the revolutionary movement and keep the movement alive. But what happened to Reich actually: he started the Sexpol movement in Germany; in 1930 they had about 30,000 members and organized lec- tures all over Germany. Reich’s ideal was that the Communist Party should organize youth around dance-halls, not to try to get young peo- ple to dull political lectures-to find young peo- ple where they really are. I even remember reading about young Nazis, members of the Hitlerjugend, coming to hear Reich and leaving the Nazi Party after getting a deeper understanding of their own inner troubles, their rea- sons for being politically active. I have heard from our ambassador in Paris-he attended Reich’s lectures when he was a student in Prague in 1934-that there were thousands of students just all over the hall, sitting on windowsills and in the staircases, like Columbia in April ’68, or Berkeley; and he was a kind of prophet of a new time, an affirmative culture-some kind of new integrity between man and his social life.

What happened at the end of the Sex- pol movement was that Reich was thrown out of it. It was organized by the Communist Party; and what he was teaching was too much for them. First they banned his books from all Party bookstores; and then they organized a majority in the Sexpol movement and threw him out. It was just a few months before Hitler came to power, so it is not widely known. So you see first he was oppressed by people in his own movement. He was very devoted to the revolu- tion, but he realized that the revolution didn’t need him. And when Hitler came to power, his books were suppressed and then burned. And then it was repeated, in ’56 and ’57 by such a democratic government as the American one.

Reich was actually sent to prison for con- tempt of court. They chased him because of “illegal interstate sale of orgone accumulators”- devices that had not been scientifically proved. But then he didn’t appear before the court; he said “Science has to judge me, and not an agency for food and cosmetics that is connected with the interests of the cosmetics industry.” He was very angry, and had good reason to be. He got two years for contempt of court.

WR

what was very important for me was to preserve the in- tegrity of every piece. So that means I didn’t mix into documentary shots with his patients; or there is stock footage of Reich and his col- laborators, and the commentary that is run over it is some sort of just interpretation of what people were talking about then. The film is very complicated; there is a lot of playing in the film; but I never played in the separate pieces, I kept them as separate blocs.

I thought for years about how Reich could be explained.

Reich says that contemporary human beings have re- actionary bodies-rigid bodies. And our charac- terological stiffness is rooted in muscular armor. Psychological armor equals muscular armor, on the biological level. And we are conditioned to be like that from our early months of life. So it seems that the task of changing people is much more complicated than it looks like if you just feel you can apply Marx’s theories and make a redistribution of wealth or abolish private prop- erty, and everything will be OK. That’s not true, because people are repeating-that’s what happened in the whole so-called socialist world today: it’s just one great repetition of all the rigidity of bourgeois society. So when I made my film Man Is Not a Bird I was trying to ex- plain that you can have global changes but peo- ple can still stay the same, unhappy or awkward or privately confused; and in all my other films I try to follow this line, and I came gradually to Reich, who really explained why we are un- able to change quickly. We are able to change, but not so quickly, and probably some people are unable to change at all.

Well, I will tell you that we got a recommendation from the International Evan- gelical jury in Berlin-composed of priests and people connected with the ecumenical move- ment-and they gave a recommendation for the film to be seen and discussed on the subject of the “importance of eroticism, sexuality and love for political freedom.” So it seems that people understand that the main topic of the film is not sexuality but human personal happiness con- nected with political freedom, which means men in the social environment. Generally reactions in Europe were more political than sexual, to the effect that “sex is not so important in the film.” (In fact, that’s not true.) But it seems that people are getting the message that the main thing in sexual repression or sexual freedom is actually the political content of human personal freedom

In Yugoslavia we got in trouble very quickly when we came back from Cannes [where the film won the grand prize]. A screening was organized by people hostile to the film-they got about 400 people, mainly older people, some of them connected with some sort of preservation of traditions, that means people who are taking care of monuments and graveyards and museums, plus old revolution- aries, so-called hard-liners who are now out of the main social activities and are on the margin of social life taking care of their memories of our glorious past-and they were mad. It was terrible. People just started shouting. It was an extremely unpleasant experience.
On what grounds were they angry?
Because Stalin was connected with sexuality! Stalin was connected with the phallus. And they are just completely unable to see any connection between political power and sexual potency; the sexual meaning of political power was completely strange to them, and they were completely sexually upset. They were sweating, trembling, a lot of physical signs: they were just showing complete physiological distress. But these reactions were expressed in very political terms: “politically unacceptable,” “ideologically wrong,” “attitude of the enemy,” this kind of political cliche were all activated against the film.
Have they banned the film?
They succeeded in stopping it, so far, on administrative grounds, although we have the necessary signatures on the censorship board. But they didn’t dare to send the police to take the film away from us; they don’t want to fight us in the courts. Meanwhile new censor regula- tions have been set up and a new board has come in, so we are tied up in all this legal procedures business.

The film contains some very satirical scenes against organized Communism-for instance that scene where the madman is banging his head against the wall and on the sound track is this hymn to the glorious Communist Party, “from which all our blessings flow,” and so on. Is the film attacked as being anti-Com- munist, and if so how do you reply?
D.M.: It’s interesting that the film was at- tacked on those grounds by a very tiny portion of Party members, and in fact not so much by Party members as by ex-Party members who were thrown out of the Party as Stalinists. It seems that for most people in the country it is clear that the film is not anti-Communist but anti-Stalinist.
J.M.: It’s also anti-Leninist, however.
D.M.: Oh, no, that’s not true. The film is dis- cussing some points in Leninism, or about Len- in, but the film is not anti-Lenin, in my opinion. Even some people in high Party positions told me the film is clearly anti-Stalinist, and the film is clearly against blocs, and the film is for inde- pendent communism or independent socialism. So it seems many people understood the film politically as an honest contribution to inner discussion in the communist movement. Now about Leninism. In the film you have direct quotations from Lenin in two places: one is where the awkward Russian figure-skating champion is trying to talk to the Yugoslavian revolutionary girl, and they have no other way to talk with each other but to whisper political ideas in a very tender way: so they speak about “what are the tasks of youth,” and this is an exact quotation from Lenin.
J.M.: And the other is the statement about the Appassionata Sonata and how it makes him want to treat people nicely and pat them on the head, when what is needed at this time is to hit them over the head.
D.M.: Yeah, because he believed that we must change people. Lenin was a true neurotic, a man torn by his wish to change people and the world, and his wish to help people. So I think to talk about Leninism in terms of a theoretical outcome of a deep wish to change-this is an effort to understand, both to criticize and to understand, but I don’t think it is just hostile if you are critical. And then if you remember the moment when the Russian says, “In prin- ciple we are against any violence,” and she touches him on the most important part of his, uh, revolutionary organism, which he is trying to forget-and then he hits her. So at the mo- ment he turns to pure violence. You remember what is the next shot? She looks at him, but he is not there any more: there is Stalin. Stalin crying. That’s a beautiful shot, and I took it [from a Russian feature]. Stalin watches the bench in the snow where Lenin used to sit, and he is crying. This is pure demagogy, and I loved this scene for its shallowness, this kind of kitsch quality, surrealist qualities. But I introduced it into the film at a moment connected with Lenin. Of course everything is distorted a little, or made into caricature, because the music that follows the skater Vladimir Ilyitch’s speech-he is a kind of positive hero, beautiful, an artist- not the real Lenin, he is kind of a marzipan rein- carnation-that music is of course not the Ap- passionata but some Hungarian gypsy music entitled “Like a Beautiful Dream”: low-level music, not Beethoven. So there is another shift in meaning between his speech and the music on the sound track. Then if you remember the scene that follows, Stalin is receiving a letter that is addressed to Lenin. So I think that Stalin is the worst possible reincarnation of Lenin- all forceful features of Lenin, all Lenin’s efforts to change things forcefully, they were reincarnated in Stalin. This is the part of Lenin’s revo- lutionary program that I can’t agree upon; be- cause forceful change can’t bring change: that’s I think very simple.

E.C.: Do you think that traditional “organ- ized communism” is inherently anti-sex? Can the anti-body, anti-sex attitude of the tradition- al left be escaped?
D.M.: I think it is not only communist or- ganization that has been anti-sex; it seems to me that all organization in the world-look at the churches, look at governments, look at the police, the army, everything is anti-sex; the es- sentially homosexual structure of the whole gov- ernment is completely hidden; we have only males in business, in politics, in the army and police-so all that is a pure continuation of boy- hood; this kind of homosexual male period is projected into the structure of the whole so- ciety, so women are completely outside of the image of any kind of meaningful social organization. They are kept just to medicine, teach- ing, and “humanitarian” cages, completely out of the main power structure. The only movements that were connected with the body were fascist movements: they were talking about blood, and earth, and body, but again in I think a different kind of homo- sexual overtones, and not in a fully heterosexual meaning. It seems to me that the sexual significance of movements and organizations is completely de- stroyed in our alienated style of living. And my idea was to build a movie that is a kind of interplay between organization and spontaneity. For it seems to me that the all-anarchism of, let’s say, the New American Cinema or the an- archism of the New Left, this kind of totally unorganized way in which people are now re- acting to power structures, is inefficient because it lacks organization; yet if it turns to organization it takes the same old forms, like the high- ly organized, militant, puritan, self-sacrificing groups, so this just perpetuates the old system of power and fighting power with power. And it seems to me that we have to fight power with spontaneity and humor, but in a more organized way than it is done. It seems to me that some future society which I believe in, a society organized on work and love without any politi- cal mediators-work, love, and communication, let’s say-must be a highly organized kind of society that has a lot of space for all kinds of spontaneous activities. In my film-I worked eight months on it in the editing room to get this kind of strong organization, yet trying to preserve all the spontaneity possible in the film. And I feel that’s the reason it is puzzling: peo- ple are not sure where I am leading them.
Actually the film is very traditionally struc- tured. There are the first three reels of docu- mentary introduction, and then we have this very slow dramatic exposition, then we have the conflict say in reels five and six, and those highly emotional things in reel eight-the plas- ter-caster scene, which is a kind of climactic scene; and then you have a melodramatic con- tinuation in reels nine and ten which in purely dramatic terms explain this conflict between personality and society: “You are able to love mankind but you are not able to love a human person.” (The women’s libbers are very happy with this scene, where she is hitting him trying to awaken him to real masculinity instead of this empty masculinity.) And then you have this kind of cathartic song at the end. So as you see the whole structure is very traditional: you are supposed to be relaxed for a few reels, then puzzled, then you have a build-up of the con- flict, then the big chase, and then you have catharsis! But this traditional organization is completely invisible in my film: there are a lot of other attractions, and they are done in this kind of open-structure way so that everybody is projecting his own thing into the film. I call it the “liberating trap”-an open structure that forces people to throw their own irrationalities into the film. There are so many things left un- answered, so many questions posed-you must answer them in order to be able to “survive,” to be able to follow the story, to go on. And there is not time enough left for thinking, just for projecting your own wrong ideas, your own misinterpretations, your own irrationalities into the film-but then to go on. At the end many people are very restless, puzzled, confused-but highly interested in the subject. They’re ready to come see the film again, to read more Reich, to ask me about all kinds of things.

I am very skeptical about systems, liv- ing in a country which is not in this big bloc of “freedom-loving” nations in NATO, and also is not in the big bloc of “freedom-loving” na- tions in the Warsaw Pact; in Yugoslavia we don’t see very many differences between life in America and Russia as far as big ideas are con- cerned: these big, beautiful, patriotic ideas that enable big countries to smash small countries and kill people in the name of humanity, or im- pose their own systems of values on others. So I think these big superpowers may have the same policy on the global level. On a practical level of course America is very different from Rus- sia-because in Russia each individual has his own happiness delivered to him by the govern- ment or Party, and here everybody has to fight for his own happiness in the market. But it seems to me the sets of illusions are very simi- lar, and the inflexibility of the two systems is very similar. Of course the American system is much more flexible in responding to the mar- ket, but politically many things that are against all economy are perpetuated. So more and more, all over the world, people feel that something must be done: systems that start from people spontaneously organizing themselves in some sort of meaningful groups, and then not alien- ating their power to some sort of more “repre- sentative” higher levels-just preserving their own communal power. I think the new means of communication that we have in the media, in this electronic world, enable us to live in our small ethnic groups, or very specific groups, yet being able to communicate all over the globe without the necessity of having this type of power structure to mediate in our names. I be- lieve in a world without states, a world without politicians, without these political structures rep- resenting alienated power.
R.S.: A kind of loosely structured anarchy?
D.M.: No, a kind of well organized anarchy! I think the failure of world communism to do anything meaningful is that it built some sort of very militant, Christian-style militancy of fighting for a paradise that will come for our grandchildren, and for them we must put our- selves through the fire; and this leads to terrible things, like millions of people put in concentra- tion camps by their own comrades, and many of them in the camps even believing that the camps were good for the system. You remem- ber that many people died shouting “Long live Stalin!” even when they were being killed on Stalin’s orders. This self-sacrificing revolution- ism is the same kind of religious, Judeo-Chris- tian kind of bullshit.

korene sú jasné. Slovenská intelektuálna elita sa voči vlastenectvu vymedzila už na začiatku, keď SR ako štát vznikla. Väčšina elít bola proti rozpadu ČSFR. Keďže mafiánska klika potrebovala samostatné Slovensko kvôli svojim zlodejským zámerom (s národom to malo pramálo spoločné), stavili na národnú kartu, pretože je to najjednoduchšie. Od vtedy sa téma vlastenectva spája s najväčším bahnom, ktoré na Slovensku máme – od Mečiara, cez Slotu, Rafaja, Malíkovú až po Markuša. S týmto sa intelektuálna elita nemôže identifikovať a teda má prirodzenú potrebu vymedziť sa proti tomu. Žiaľ, za 20 rokov sa nenašiel nikto z “demokratického” politického spektra, kto by bol schopný redefinovať vlastenectvo a prevziať národnú agendu. Prvý, kto to mimo hejslováckych mafiánskych štruktúr spravil je paradoxne komunista Fico a vychádza mu to (čo je úplne jasné, vlastnectvo je dobrá agenda) – o dôvod viac pre intelektuálov káľať na všetko, čo sa s tým spája. Mne je z tejto našej elity na blitie, včerajší Hríbov komentár, dnes Fila a x ďalších. Sami si tú tému nechali ukradnúť a teraz drístajú tak, že to snaď nie je ani možné. A ľudia, ktorí nemajú radi Rafaja sú prirodzene s nimi, bez toho, aby sa zamysleli nad obsahom.

Najlacnejším druhom hrdosti je však hrdosť národná; prezrádza totiž o tom, kto je ňou ovládaný, že trpí nedostatkom individuálnych vlastností, na ktoré by mohol byť hrdý – inak by nesiahal po niečom, čo má spoločné s toľkými miliónmi. Kto má významné osobné prednosti, bude skôr spoznávať chyby svojho vlastného národa, lebo ich má ustavične na očiach. No každý žalostný hlupák, ktorý nemá na svete nič, na čo by mohol byť hrdý, siaha po poslednom prostriedku, aby hrdý mohol byť, po národe, ku ktorému práve patrí; ním pookrieva a je vďačne pripravený hájiť všetky chyby a hlúposti svojho národa rukami aj nohami.
Národnému charakteru, keďže sa týka množstva, nikdy nebude možné úprimne priznať veľa dobrého. Ako národný charakter sa skôr nazýva odlišná forma, v akej sa v každej krajine javí ľudská ohraničenosť, zvrátenosť a špatnosť.
(Schopenhauer)

??
you are not an individual. Rather, you are a host of ‘dividuals’
(Deleuze 1 994: 258), effected by the social conjunction as an event.

In 1977, Michel Foucault suggested that political philosophy must
detach itself from the problem of sovereignty and the problems of law
and prohibition. ‘We need to cut off the King’s head’, as he famously put
it (Foucault 1980: 121).
Late in his life, Deleuze sensed the emergence of
a stratification that seemed to proceed from a radicalisation of this suggestion,
and which would eventually reconfigure the disciplinary societies
that Foucault analysed. Deleuze termed this new stratification ‘the
societies of control’ (Deleuze 1995 ) . In this formation, your identity is
not dependent on your narrative as a subject, whether of sovereignty or
of discipline, whether as citizen, consumer or family man. Rather, your
self is to be abstracted from databanks, registers, tests and focus group
interviews, and the data is to be personalised in the ‘security’ of passwords
that you memorise. You will be asked to carry out this abstraction
yourself. The ultimate test of ‘being human’ is not the question of
whether you are currently in or have ever been in prison, gone to school,
or been in the army. The ultimate test is: do you currently have a paid
job and which paid jobs have you had? The decisive technologies of our
age are the technologies of the labour market where a decoded flow of
labour joins up with a decoded flow of capital (Deleuze and Guattari
1984: 3 3 ) . Some of these technologies are no more complicated than a
folded piece of paper, a pamphlet.
(to sa mi nezda – preco prave ze ci mas job??)

(‘neutralny’ opis spolocnosti je falosny)
Zizek sees that the description
of the society that purported to be “neutral” would not
be objective, but would formally be “false” because it would
involve accepting the existing order. In a manner that is
reminiscent of Max Horkheimer’s 1937 essay “Traditional
and Critical Theory,” Zizek reads Lukács as maintaining
that a critical theory must recognize its own situatedness
and its own commitments to political action and social
transformation. Zizek wants to follow Lukács by showing
that historicism is not sufficiently historicist because it does
not give an account of itself as a social phenomenon and is
thus incomplete. Zizek maintains that social theory cannot
be objective in the sense of being politically “neutral,” and it
is incomplete unless it takes its own social embeddedness
into account. An important aspect of what the critical social
theory would have to explain is a question that traditional
theory ignores: Why does it meet with resistance? In this
respect for Zizek critical social theory is similar to psychoanalytic
theory, which also has to explain why its explanations
are often resisted at first by patients.

Saying that a
theory is partial is not the same as saying that it is false insofar
as partial representation is not the same as misrepresentation
or distortion.
(==> lukacs kritizoval ze ciastocna teoria je falosna, ze vtedy ide ‘len’ o jednu z perspektiv,
ktora zahrna len ciastocny obraz socialnej reality, ktora teda nie je objektivna, treba celostnu,
resp vedomie “imputed” to the class—-[to som nepochopil dobre];
kym zizek tvrdi ze angazovana ciastocna je ok kym som si vedomy ze je ciastocna lebo je pravdiva,
kedze ciastocna reprezentacia nie je to iste ako misrepresentation or distortion.
cize je ok teoretizovat localised case studies, napriklad na zaklade honest autobiografie).

critique of ideology:
Marx @ Capital: “They do not know it, but they are doing it.”
Zizek via Sloterdijk about it: Marx is interpreted wrongly and should go
“They know very well what they are doing, but still, they are doing it.”
~ instead of “we misrecognize what is really going on”, it suggests
“we misrecognize that nothing is really going on”.
This thought that things seem to be one
way but really are another way implies that there is a level
of reality that could be grasped correctly. Zizek manages to
disrupt this traditional epistemological understanding of
the distinction between appearance and reality.
& false: “reality is just an illusion”.
“ideology has nothing to do with ‘illusion'”.
“social reality” is an “ethical construction”.

the totality is encountered in its purest form when it fails, and when one
tries to distance oneself from it in order to maintain one’s

(pochopit to v celku – to nejde – ale nechcem si to priznat –

Reality is usually thought of in terms of everything
that is the case, and it is also assumed that everything
coheres with everything else to form a totality, whether one
can grasp this totality or not. Generally it is granted that the
human mind cannot grasp the totality. If that is so, it can reasonably
be asked whether this notion of the totality is not
simply a product of the imagination. Zizek’s statement that
the totality, which is impossible, tries to cover up its own
impossibility, is admittedly paradoxical. How could something
that did not exist cover up its own nonexistence? The
answer depends on a psychoanalytic premise that
the fantasy desires to hide from itself its own inability to face up
to the nonexistence and the impossibility of its fantasized object.

“very model of self-awareness”: “ ‘I
know very well that I am mortal, but nevertheless. . . . (I do
not accept it; I unconsciously believe in my immortality,
since I cannot envisage my own death).’ ”
+
For Zizek poststructuralism is a misunderstanding
of French philosophy by North Americans:
“In short, an entity like ‘poststructuralist deconstructionism’
(the term itself is not used in France) comes into existence
only for a gaze that is unaware of the details of the
philosophical scene in France: this gaze brings together
authors (Derrida, Deleuze, Foucault, Lyotard, . . . ) who are
simply not perceived as part of the same épistème in
France.”68 On his view, to consider poststructuralism as a
form of critical theory is “a classification which is unthinkable
in France.”

SHAVIRO – POSTCINEMATIC AFFECT
(hudba a film hovoria o komplex social procesoch, ale nereprezuntuju ich az tak ako na nich aktivne participuju)
These works are symptomatic, in
that they provide indices of complex social processes, which they transduce,
condense and rearticulate in the form of what can be called, after Deleuze
and Guattari, ‘blocs of affect.’1 But they are also productive, in the sense
that they do not represent social processes, so much as they participate
actively in these processes, and help to constitute them.
(filmy a hudba generuju AFEKT ~ are machines for generating affect +
and for capitalising upon, or extracting value from, this affect.)
As such, they are not
ideological superstructures, as an older sort of Marxist criticism would have
it. Rather, they lie at the very heart of social production, circulation and
distribution.
(cize nie su marxisticky kritizovatelne? su proste nevyhnutne, neexistuje alternativa?)
They generate subjectivity and they play a crucial role in the
valorisation of capital.
+
1 Strictly speaking, Deleuze and Guattari say that the work of art ‘is a bloc of
sensations, that is to say, a compound of percepts and affects’ (1994, 164).

(afekt vs emotion via Massumi)
I follow Brian Massumi (2002, 23-45) in differentiating between affect and
emotion.
For Massumi, affect is primary, non-conscious, asubjective or
presubjective, asignifying, unqualified and intensive; while emotion is
derivative, conscious, qualified and meaningful, a ‘content’ that can be
attributed to an already-constituted subject.
[naozaj si hudbu pustam ako stimul pre vytvaranie pocitov,
vnimam ju v ramci multitaskingu, paralelne,
zaroven nad nom aj rozmyslam, cize okrem pasivneho prijimania afektov

[TYMITO POCITMI PRAVE HOVORIT O HUDBE –
je ale kazdy album vzdy dobry na uzky okruh pocitov?
alebo si dokazete pri rovnakej hudbe v roznom case syntetizovat rozne pocity?]
Emotion is affect captured by a
subject, or tamed and reduced to the extent that it becomes commensurate
with that subject. Subjects are overwhelmed and traversed by affect, but
they have or possess their own emotions.

re: Beller (stavia na nom, ale beller podcenuje rozdiel medzi cinematic a postcinematic,
co teda rozvija Shaviro)
However, I
think that he underestimates the differences between cinematic and post-cinematic
media: it is these differences that drive my own discussion here.

(subjekt = ekon.jednotka, ktora je sama pre seba kapitalom, producentom aj zdrojom prijmov=

[uz par tyzdnov mam pocit ze sam seba exploitujem, ked chcem nieco dokoncit a podobne]
@neolib capitalism we see ourselves as subjects precisely to the extent that we are
autonomous economic units. As Foucault puts it, neoliberalism defines a new
mutation of ‘Homo oeconomicus as entrepreneur of himself, being for
himself his own capital, being for himself his own producer, being for himself
the source of [his] earnings’ (2008, 226).
(tomuto ale nerozumiem: )
For such a subject, emotions are
resources to invest, in the hope of gaining as large a return as possible. What
we know today as ‘affective labour’ is not really affective at all, as it
involves rather the sale of labour-power in the form of pre-defined and prepackaged
emotions.3
3 (nesuhlasi s Hardt+Negrim v tom ze):
For Hardt and Negri, ‘unlike emotions, which are mental phenomena, affects refer
equally to body and to mind. In fact, affects, such as joy and sadness, reveal the
present state of life in the entire organism’ (2004, 108)
(lebo):
(wrong) because there is no such thing as ‘mental phenomena’ that do not refer
equally to the body. The division between affect and emotion must rather be
sought elsewhere.
(preferuje massumiho definiciu pocitu)
emotion as the capture, and reduction-to-commensurability, of affect.
It is this reduction that,
among other things, allows for the sale and purchase of emotions as commodities.
(inak to je asi fakt pravda, tiez sa priklanam k massumovi)
(toto prirovnanie je divne):
In a certain sense, emotion is to affect as, in Marxist theory, labour-power is to
labour. For labour itself is an unqualifiable capacity, while labour-power is a
quantifiable commodity that is possessed, and that can be sold, by the worker.
(affective labour – @hardt+negri: sluzby produkujuce emocie, @shaviro: su tie sluzby
uz objektifikovane emocie):
Hardt and Negri’s own definition of affective labour in fact itself makes sense
precisely in the register of what I am calling labour-power and objectified emotions:
‘Affective labor, then, is labor that produces or manipulates affects such as a feeling
of ease, well-being, satisfaction, excitement, or passion. One can recognize affective
labor, for example, in the work of legal assistants, flight attendants, and fast food
workers (service with a smile)’ (108).

[tanecna hudba je velmi o emociach, idem do klubu a chcem sa zextatnit]

However, emotion as such is never closed or complete. It also still
testifies to the affect out of which it is formed, and that it has captured,
reduced and repressed. Behind every emotion, there is always a certain
surplus of affect that ‘escapes confinement’ and ‘remains unactualised,
inseparable from but unassimilable to any particular, functionally anchored
perspective’ (Massumi 2002, 35).
(teda ze pocit sa vzdy nadalej viaze k povodnemu afektu z ktoreho som ho
syntetizoval; pretoze tam stale ostava otvorene co z neho mozem dalsie
syntetizovat)
Privatised emotion can never entirely
separate itself from the affect from which it is derived. Emotion is
representable and representative; but it also points beyond itself to an affect
that works transpersonally and transversally, that is at once singular and
common (Hardt and Negri 2004, 128-129),
(tym ze je pocit zosobneny, tak sa vzdy viaze k afektu — ten je
transpersonalny a transversalny ——– ???? asi ze osobny a zaroven
spolocny–napriklad afekt produkujuci videom lady gaga)
and that is irreducible to any sort of representation.
Our existence is always bound up with affective and
aesthetic flows that elude cognitive definition or capture.
(ano, z afektov mozeme stale syntetizovat nove pocity,
ktore su este nesyntetizovane)4
4 (monoskop!!):
Fascism and Nazism in particular are
noteworthy for their mobilisation of cinematic affect; though arguably Soviet
communism and liberal capitalism also mobilized such affect in their own ways.

(@postmod nezmizol afekt ako tvrdi jameson, ale subjektivne pocity sa vytratili)
On the basis of his distinction between affect and emotion, Massumi
rejects Fredric Jameson’s famous claim about the ‘waning of affect’ in
postmodern culture (Jameson 1991, 10-12). For Massumi, it is precisely
subjective emotion that has waned, but not affect.

5 (anti-oedipus sa snazil spojit nekritizovatelnost afektu[massumi zastanca–ked kritizuje
jamesona napr..: ‘affect is not ownable or recognisable and is thus resistant to critique’]
a marxistickou teoriou, ktore su inak vacsinou stavane ostro proti sebe oboma tabormi):
Affect theory, or ‘non-representational theory’ (Thrift 2008), is usually placed in
sharp opposition to Marxist theory, by advocates of both approaches. I am
arguing, instead, that we need to draw them together. This is precisely what
Deleuze and Guattari attempted to do in Anti-Oedipus (1983). The attempt was
not entirely successful, but it seems prescient in the light of subsequent ‘neoliberal’
developments in both affective and political economies.
(via latour: sietove socialne procesy sa nedaju vysvetlit kategoriami ‘capital’ alebo
‘social’ lebo prave tie potrebujeme vysvetlit, co ale zaroven neznamena ze su
nepouzitelne, iba ze ich potrebujeme skonstruovat resp samokonstruovat znovu,
k comu upada latour v nepozornych momentoch)
I am largely sympathetic to Bruno Latour’s
insistence that networked social processes cannot be explained in terms of global
categories like ‘capital,’ or ‘the social’ – because these categories themselves are what
most urgently need to be explained.

Affect and
labour are two attributes of the same Spinozian substance; they are both
powers or potentials of the human body, expressions of its ‘vitality,’ ‘sense of
aliveness,’ and ‘changeability’ (Massumi 2002, 36).

(mapa:)
aesthetic of affective mapping.6 For Jameson and Deleuze and
Guattari alike, maps are not static representations, but tools for negotiating,
and intervening in, social space. A map does not just replicate the shape of a
territory; rather, it actively inflects and works over that territory.
