Alexandra Kollontaï et la signification politique de l'amour
Dans cet article, j'analyse la contribution de l'éminente penseuse féministe socialiste et politique Alexandra Kollontaï au développement de la vision conceptuelle d'une société juste, qui serait fondée sur l'égalité des sexes, et à la formation des conceptions contemporaines du problème de l'autonomie politique, intellectuelle et émotionnelle des femmes.

The Debats on Post-Socialism and the Politics of Knowledge in the Space of the Plural “Post’s”
In this article I focus on how the politics of knowledge, have being shaped in a world without socialism, can be also considered as a space of multiple “post’s”. Social researchers from the post-socialist region strive to return their countries onto the map and to identify their place in history, while applying different conceptual approaches based on different ideological premises. Meanwhile, all of these theoretical frameworks are not neutral i…
Anapus Reprezentacijos

After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the closure of the era of political utopias (for many, the point of reference would be 1968 in Paris or in Prague), the word seemed to have vanished entirely from the current vocabulary. However, nowadays we are witnessing the return of the idea of Revolution to the political scene, to the media dis…
