Marjan Ivković 
(Univerza v Beogradu)

Marjan Ivković (1985) je diplomiral in magistriral iz sociologije na Filozofski fakulteti Univerze v Beogradu, februarja 2014 pa je na Univerzi v Cambridgeu v Združenem kraljestvu zagovarjal doktorsko disertacijo iz sociologije. Je avtor monografij Kritička teorija Aksela Honeta: ka prevazilaženju metafizike (Kritična teorija Axela Honnetha: k preseganju metafizike, 2017) in Nancy Fraser and Politics (Nancy Frazer in politika, 2024) ter številnih člankov v mednarodnih in srbskih znanstvenih revijah. Sodeloval je pri številnih mednarodnih projektih, konferencah in seminarjih.
V svojem raziskovanju se osredotoča na probleme sodobne sociološke teorije in socialne filozofije. Zanima ga zlasti kritična teorija kot interdisciplinarni pristop, ki družbeno- in političnofilozofsko refleksijo povezuje z empiričnimi sociološkimi raziskavami. V svojem delu analizira potenciale raznolikih tokov sodobne kritične teorije za konceptualizacijo in diagnozo kompleksnih oblik družbene dominacije v dobi neoliberalne revolucije.

Negativnost, posredovanje, totaliteta: kritična teorija in problem mišljenja postkapitalizma
Predavanje bo tematiziralo pojmovanje kapitalistične družbe v kritični teoriji prve generacije ter njeno nadaljnjo izpeljavo v sodobnem marksizmu vrednostne forme.  Posebna pozornost bo namenjena naravi posredovanja vrednostne forme pri materialni družbeni reprodukciji v kapitalizmu - natančneje, konstitutivni negativnosti tega posredovanja. Teza predavanja bo, da lahko skozi perspektivi kritične teorije in marksizma vrednostne forme zapopademo enega od osrednjih problemov antikapitalistične politične strategije: kako si zamisliti in prkatično udejanjiti formo emancipatornega družbenega posredovanja, ki bi nadomestila posredovanje vrednostne forme, obenem pa ohranila moment negativnosti v drugačni, neodtujeni obliki. Sodobne perspektive socializma ponujajo različna pojmovanja političnega posredovanja materialne družbene reprodukcije v obliki demokratičnega planiranja kot emancipatorne alternative posredovanju vrednostni formi. Vendar pa tem pojmovanjem praviloma manjka notranji moment negativnosti, ki bi vzpostavil pogoje možnosti radikalne samokritike socialistične družbe; to pomeni, da v pomembnem smislu predstavljajo korak nazaj v primerjavi s kapitalističnim posredovanjem. Predavanje bo sklenjeno s kratkim orisom logike političnega posredovanja, ki je ‘samo-ne-identična’ - logike, ki jo lahko v embrionalni obliki prepoznamo v nekaterih empiričnih primerih kolektivnega političnega delovanja.

Invitation to a lecture by Marjan Ivković from the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory in Belgrade
The Department of Philosophy at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, and the research group The Common Between Substance and Subject kindly  invites you to a lecture by
Marjan Ivković
(University of Belgrade)
Marjan Ivković (1985) obtained his BA and MA in sociology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, and in February 2014 he defended his PhD thesis in sociology at Cambridge University, United Kingdom. He is the author of monographs Kritička teorija Aksela Honeta: ka prevazilaženju metafizike (The Critical Theory of Axel Honneth: Toward the Overcoming of Metaphysics, 2017) and Nancy Fraser and Politics (2024), and numerous articles in international and Serbian academic journals. He has taken part in a number of international projects, conferences and seminars.
In his research, Marjan Ivković focuses on problems of contemporary sociological theory and social philosophy. The primary area of his interest is critical theory as an interdisciplinary approach that synthesizes social- and political-philosophical reflection with empirical social research. Marjan’s work centres around the analysis of the potential of different varieties of contemporary critical theory for conceptualizing and diagnosing complex forms of social domination in the era of neoliberal revolution.

Negativity, mediation, totality: critical theory and the problem of thinking postcapitalism
The lecture will thematize the conceptualization of capitalist society in first-generation critical theory and its elaboration in contemporary value-form Marxism. Special attention will be paid to the nature of the mediation of material social reproduction in capitalism by the value form, more precisely to the constitutive negativity of this mediation. The lecture will argue that the perspectives of critical theory and value form Marxism allow us to grasp one central problem of anti-capitalist political strategy: how to envisage and realize in practice a form of emancipatory social mediation that would replace mediation by the value form, but that would preserve the moment of negativity in a different, non-alienated form. Contemporary perspectives on socialism present various conceptions of political mediation of material social reproduction in the form of democratic planning as an emancipatory alternative to value-form mediation. However, these conceptions generally lack an internal moment of negativity that would establish the conditions of possibility for a radical self-critique of socialist society itself, and this means that they, in an important sense, constitute a step back from capitalist mediation. The lecture will conclude with a brief outline of a logic of political mediation that is ‘self-non-identical’, a logic that can be identified in an embryonic form in certain empirical instances of collective political action.
