    No. 10 (2016)

    Being interested in the very wide field of social and cultural practices, relations and dynamics which opens up a vast number of questions on lived, thought and engaged realities, identities, communities and individual approaches, cultural studies draw the attention of numerous writers and thinkers in the contemporary humanities spectrum, thus engaging some very important theoretical issues reflected in art, consumerism, media and the politics of everyday living. The cultural realm thus becomes a contested place of performances and performatives of different identities, postidentities, bodies, texts and motions in flux. Having been immersed in the world of interactive and multiple media realms, the cultural subjects and communities are invited/pressured to produce themselves in the contexts of contemporaneity, however it may be defined, blurring the lines between everyday life, performance, art and media realms.
    Have firm lines ever existed?

    Issue No. 9, April 2016 - Topis of Issue: Ordinary Language Philosophy
    No. 9 (2016)

    The great linguistic turn performed by the philosophical platforms that took language as their focus of research marked much of 20th Century intellectual history:this turn started in analytic philosophy, which became part of the Anglo-American philosophical tradition, while structuralism, semiology, and poststructuralism dominated the so-called Continental tradition. Ordinary language philosophy was an important episode in this turn: it was shaped by the philosophers gathered around the so-called “Oxford school” (Ryle, Strawson, Austin) and under the influence of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s late works. As such, ordinary language philosophy performed an internal critique and revision of logical positivism and logical atomism. Ordinary language philosophers, referring to Wittgenstein’s self-critique in his Philosophical Investigations, repudiated the argument about logic as the basis of human cognition of the world, and began exploring the grammatical structures of language. Philosophers such as Austin, but also his followers, such as American philosopher Stanley Cavell, repudiated the claim of the possibility of an ideal, non-historical, and logically completely coherent metalanguage and instead promoted their thesis of the historical determination of language, i.e. its variable criteria; in certain respects, ordinary language philosophy thus came close to deconstruction and poststructuralism.
    With this focus issue, titled Ordinary Language Philosophy, the AM Journal wishes to examine the currency of ordinary language philosophy’s main thesis. We welcome all interdisciplinary contributions reinvestigating the philosophies of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s late works, John Austin, Stanley Cavell, and others. What was the unique place of ordinary language philosophy in the linguistic turn mentioned above? How did ordinary language philosophy influence contemporary debates in ethics and aesthetics? What is the relation between ordinary language philosophy and deconstruction, i.e. poststructuralism? We will especially welcome all texts on the relevance of ordinary language philosophy for contemporary art theory – the visual arts, as well as performing arts, film, music, and media and media culture.

  • After the end of Soviet hegemony and the fall of socialist regimes in Central and Southeast Europe, the consideration of the relationship between art and politics seems urgent. The experience of more than two decades of political and structural changes toward the development of institutions of global capital also contributes to this urgency. The debate over the (political) nature of art becomes necessary, taking into account that this question has been superseded by a marketplace wherein all designations and forms of Art are available. It shows (itself) to be the best vehicle for manipulation and instrumentalization towards the current doxa that ‘everything is possible’. Moreover, the issue of the political aspect of art has been complicated by the dominant intellectual opinion and denunciations that all forms of utopian and social dimensions of art, as in the case of revolutionary and emancipatory perspectives of the avant-gardes, are responsible for the horrors of totalitarianism and terrorism. The aim of this issue therefore is to address the question of how to constitute and affirm an active Art today without slipping into essentialism. Focus Issue Editor: Bojana Matejić

    No. 6 (2014)

    Years after the main theoretical positions of performance studies had already been established in the fields of performativity of language and theatrical anthropology, highly interdisciplinary formation of performance studies have not only simply extended the horizon of subjects worth researching, but are also expanding the ways of thinking about these subjects. The aim of this thematic issue of AM Journal was encouraging identifications and assessing these diverse issues and viewpoints related to the concept of performance today

    Issue No. 5, April 2014 - Topic of Issue: New Materialism and Art
    No. 5 (2014)

    The topic for this issue, New Materialism and Art, asks the question about what it means to think art as a material process, as an event of matter, that is at the same time part of both nature and culture. How does the ontology of art change within this framework? How does one rethink work of art in relation to society on the basis of active, self-differing matter? And finally, how does the new reconceptualization of matter reflect on the politicity of art?
