HUMANISTIKA I DRUŠTVENE ZNANOSTI U VRTLOGU HEGEMONIJE TZV. TRANZICIJE: PERFORMATIVNOST JAVNOG INTELEKTUALCA DANAS. (Croatian)

This article deals with several problem areas concerning structural issues related to the contemporary social position of the humanities and social sciences, the nature of today's hegemony and present articulations of critical thinking. The primary focus is on the problems of the higher education system resulting from the Bologna process and the social role and importance of the figure of the public intellectual today, whereas the secondary focus is on connecting these issues with the characteristics of today's hegemony and the so-called transition. The text argues that the public intellectual should be considered and analyzed as a performative figure belonging to each period articulating and presenting public intellectual narratives, in other words, it is claimed that the public intellectual echoes the period itself as one of its mirror reflctions.

U članku se otvara nekoliko problemskih cjelina u obliku strukturnih pitanja posvecenih današnjoj društvenoj poziciji humanistike i društvenih znanosti, naravi hegemonije naše g vremena te aktualnim artikulacijama kritickog mišljenja. Radi se, u prvome planu, o problemima sustava visokog obrazovanja uslijed Bolonjskog procesa te društvenoj ulozi i važnosti figure javnog intelektualca danas, dok se na sekundarnoj razini clanka ta mjesta povezuju s karakteristikama aktualne hegemonije i s tzv. tranzicijom. U tekstu se zagovara teza da je javnog intelektualca potrebno sagledati i analizirati kao performativni lik epohe unutar koje se narativi o javnom intelektualcu artikuliraju i prezentiraju, odnosno da je on slika i prilika same te epohe, jedan od njezinih zrcalnih odraza.
