On Friday, 17. in April, the traditional science generation event will begin at 11. taught by prof. Dr. Marie Todorove, new honorary member of ZRC SAZU. The lecture follows the history of utopia – from its literary beginnings in antiquity, through attempts to realize it in society after the French Revolution, its crisis after the first World War, and efforts to preserve it and its gradual withering away after the Second World War. In parallel, he analyses the development of socialism and communism and their journeys from utopian socialism, Marxism, Bolshevism, Stalinism, Maoism, Eurocommunism, etc.to "real socialism" and its collapse. It was at this moment that the "end of Utopia" was triumphantly proclaimed, and at the same time the industry of the "end of utopia"flourished. In the last few decades, socialism has been slowly and restrained, but gradually reconsidered, and utopian efforts have been revived.
Warmly invited!
V petek, 17. aprila, se bo tradicionalna prireditev Generacije znanosti začela ob 11. uri s predavanjem prof. dr. Marie Todorove, nove častne članice ZRC SAZU. Predavanje sledi zgodovini utopije – od njenih literarnih začetkov v antiki, prek poskusov njene uresničitve v družbi po francoski revoluciji, njene krize po prvi svetovni vojni ter prizadevanj za njeno ohranitev in njenega postopnega usihanja po drugi svetovni vojni. Ob tem vzporedno analizira razvoj socializma in komunizma ter njuna popotovanja od utopičnega socializma, marksizma, boljševizma, stalinizma, maoizma, evrokomunizma itd. do »realnega socializma« in njegovega propada. Prav v tem trenutku je bil zmagoslavno razglašen »konec utopije«, hkrati pa se je razcvetela tudi industrija »konca utopije«. V zadnjih nekaj desetletjih se socializem počasi in zadržano, a vendarle postopoma ponovno preučuje, s tem pa se obujajo tudi utopična prizadevanja.
Toplo vabljeni!
