IDENTITETSKA FLUIDNOST EVROPE I ANTINOMIJE EVROPSKE UNIJE. (Bosnian)

FLUIDITY OF THE EUROPEAN IDENTITY AND THE ANTINOMIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION. (English)

Attempt to find a firm support for the very idea of Europe and for its identity leads us to a fluid and hard-to-determine term or definition that could clearly and precisely determine the identity basis of Europe. The layering that is obvious through historical review leads us to the seemingly paradoxical conclusion: it is precisely in this fluidity we could first come close to defining the identity of Europe. The identity of Europe can certainly be seen in its culture, which contained many elements of the spiritual in man (and which are not exhausted in either psychological or religious manifestations). This same culture which created everything that is instinctively understood as Europe in terms of history and identity today is marginalized without an existing alternative under the influence of politics, economics, and exhausted postmodernist enterprise which has anchored affect at the centre of its thought on power at the expense of idealized normative considerations.

Pokušaj traženja čvrstog oslonca za samu ideju Evrope i za njen identitet dovodi nas do fluidnog i teško odredivog pojma ili definicije kojom bi se mogla jasno i precizno odrediti identitetska osnova Evrope. Slojevitost koja se može uočiti kroz istorijsko sagledavanje navodi nas na naizgled paradoksalan zaključak da se baš u toj fluidnosti najprije možemo približiti definisanju identiteta Evrope. Identitet Evrope se svakako najprije uočava u njenoj kulturi koja je u sebi sadržavala i mnoge elemente duhovnog kod čovjeka (a koji se ne iscrpljuju ni u psihološkim ni u religijskim manifestacijama). Kultura koja je na prostoru Evrope stvorila sve ono što se instinktivno razumijeva Evropom u istorijskom i identitetskom smislu danas je pod uticajem politike i ekonomije, odnosno posustalog postmodernističkog poduhvata koji je u centar svoje misli o moći usidrio afekt nauštrb idealizovanih normativnih obzira, marginalizovana bez egzistirajuće alternative.
