Wars, The Hague, him and us

Will Ratko Mladić participate in the upcoming elections and how? Why did the fire of hatred engulf the region? And why will Vučić, after Užice and Novi Sad, continue to lead "punitive expeditions" in other cities

Success and its pitfalls

Einstein never won the Nobel Prize for the theory of relativity, and as a young man he was told that he would never amount to anything. Who knows if we will ever understand what Tesla was actually telling us. Cézanne died unknown, Nietzsche was discovered only when he was no longer able to communicate with anyone, Bizet died from the torment of Karmen was not accepted... Imagine what your life would be like if these and similar people gave up the first time they failed at something and were told they were losers. Or fifth. Or thousands

The unbearable weight of emptiness

How does the statement about Serbia as a firefighting "superpower" fit perfectly into Vučić's propaganda? How did the fire in Deliblatska peščara shed light on all the dysfunctionality of the regime? Why was there celebrating, singing and cheering for the president at one end of the country, while hundreds of hectares of forest were burning on the other? What messages does the regime's propaganda send and what do citizens see with their own eyes? And why is the nation not an amorphous mass, incapable of shaping its own destiny

Appearance of development, criminalization and systemic collapse

Many years of living in the conditions of criminalized political and state institutions, as well as the criminalization of public finances and the economy, negatively affect the social mentality and change the value system. Many citizens accept general criminalization as the new normal. Many get the impression that their survival essentially depends on the ruling group and that their income will be threatened if there is a change.

On no one's side

Musically, Furtwängler's spirit is still very much alive. For the moral and political, each of us should look for our own answers, since, regardless of the state of political struggles, everyone must defend the old and build new cultural and aesthetic values. Thanks to Harwood for prompting us and not offering any definitive answers himself. And the question is - it doesn't hurt to repeat - short: is art reducible to some other dimension (political, psychoanalytic, educational, religious, moral) or does it come from a separate world and can only truly live in it
