Karel Kosík and the Dialectics of the Concrete
The aim of this international conference was to explore Kosík's seminal work in breadth and depth. The papers were addressing the following topics: Kosík in dialogue with other thinkers, such as Hegel, Marx, Labriola, Gramsci, Lukács, Heidegger, Marcuse, Popper, Gonseth, and Weber; Kosík's response to other currents of thought, especially phenomenology, structuralism, existentialism, critical theory, and positivism; Dialectics of the Concrete and…
The Story of Dialectics and the Trickster of History
Drawing on Hegel’s interpretation of narrative and Lyotard’s rejection of “grand” dialectical narratives, this paper addresses the relationship between emancipatory dialectics and narrative form. It begins by establishing the intimate connection between dialectical thought and narration. On this basis, the paper argues that varying conceptions of dialectics can be associated with varying structures of narrating history. Finally, the paper makes t…

De-staging the people
This paper engages with radical democratic theory in light of the so-called 'return of the people' taking place in contemporary political discourse. I argue that the return of the people should not be seen only as a return of politics strictly speaking, but also as a process by which elements of the social that had previously been excluded from politics enter the political sphere. Framing the problem in this way calls for a view to how politics i…
Understanding Anti-performance
Performance theorists have long been drawn to the potential of performance to subvert established institutions. The results of performance are never fully determined in advance; performances subject established images to reinterpretation; they take place before an audience that can criticize and intervene. But performative principles also play a role in maintaining established institutions and ways of being. Performance demands that participants …

Občanské a proletářské
What is the notion of citizenship that reveals itself in such varied and successive appearances as “civic” participation, “civil” society, and “civil” rights? Th e law provides us with positive defi nitions, defi ning individuals’ relationship to given states, which grant rights to participate in civil society. But such defi nitions conceal as much as they reveal. Th e full meaning of citizenship comes out only in relation to other categories whi…

People, multitude, society
This article is an extended review of a recent publication on the political theory of social movements, especially those theories advanced by Antonio Negri and Ernesto Laclau. In the review, the author critically assesses the book's editors' attempts to reach a synthesis between the theories of Negri and Laclau. The reviewer considers this attempt praiseworthy but challenging, above all because the ontological presuppositions underlying Negri's a…
Nedokončený příběh středoevropského disentu
Autor v tomto článku rekonstruuje a interpretuje nejvýznamnější tendence v myšlení středoevropského disidentského hnutí před rokem 1989. Zdůrazňuje obecnou levicovou orientaci disidentského myšlení před rokem 1989, přičemž se ptá, proč disidenti a jejich podporovatelé přestali po roce 1989 zdůrazňovat a podporovat mnohé ze svých bývalých levicových ideálů. Autor tvrdí, že zárodky postdisidentského tržního liberalismu lze nalézt, jakkoli často ve …
The Civic and the Proletarian
This essay analyzes the relationship between the concepts of "the civic" and "the proletarian" in modern society. It criticizes the uncritical adopting of "civil society" as the leading concept of contemporary democracy. It argues that the uncritical use of the concept of "civil society" can lead to the exclusion of "uncivil" (for example, "proletarian") elements from the field of legitimate public engagement
